Dunlop dies after motorbike crash
From BBC Sport
Motorcyclist Robert Dunlop has died at the age of 47 after suffering severe chest injuries in a crash in Thursday's practice session at the North West 200.
Another Northern Ireland rider, Darren Burns, suffered a suspected broken leg and concussion in the accident, but is said to be stable in hospital.
The accident happened in the 250cc qualifying session in County Antrim.
Dunlop's brother Joey, a legendary figure in British motorcycle circles, died while racing in Estonia in 2000.
A five-time Formula One world champion who won 26 races at the Isle of Man TT meeting, Joey's funeral was attended by 50,000 mourners.
Robert Dunlop, who holds the record for the most wins at the North West 200 meeting with 15, sustained serious injuries in a crash at the Isle of Man TT in 1994, but recovered and resumed his career.
Robert Dunlop's 15th & Final NW200 Win
He retired from racing in 2004 but returned to action the following year.
On Thursday he and the other riders were travelling at speeds of about 160mph as they approached the Mathers Cross section of the course in Portrush.
Dunlop's bike appeared to seize and he went over the handlebars.
He was rushed to the Causeway Hospital in nearby Coleraine, where he died from his injuries shortly after 2200 BST.
Burns was following behind and was unable to avoid hitting the Ballymoney rider.
Another Northern Ireland rider, Denver Robb, was behind both motorcyclists when the accident happened.
"Coming up to Mathers (Cross), Burns was leading and I was second, just sitting in his slipstream," he said.
"Then Robert - it was one of the Dunlops - came past me and, as soon as he did, he just shot off into Mathers and the bike seized.
"There was a puff of smoke and the bike locked up - she went sideways - and I think Robert must have grabbed the front brake.
"He went out over the top of the bike and landed on the road. Then Burnsy had nowhere to go and he clipped him and he went straight on."
Clerk of the course Mervyn Whyte said he was devastated by the death.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with Robert's family and we extend our deepest sympathies to his wife Louise, children William, Daniel and Michael and wider family circle," Whyte said.
"The MCUI (UC) - Motor Cycling Union of Ireland and PSNI (Police Service of Northern Ireland) are in the process of fully investigating the incident which happened during the 125, 250, 400 practice session on the first lap.
"Robert was one of Northern Ireland's best known and most experienced riders, who will always been remembered for his infectious personality and love for road racing."
First Minister Ian Paisley and Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said they were deeply saddened by the death.
"This is a tragedy that will be felt deeply by the people of Northern Ireland," Mr Paisley said.
"Robert was one of our greatest sportsmen and will be sadly missed."
Mr McGuinness said: "Robert, like his brother Joey before him, was a tremendous ambassador for his sport.
"I also offer my sincerest sympathies to his family."
Northern Ireland Sports Minister Edwin Poots said: "Robert was a much loved respected and talented member of the motorsport community and will be missed by all."

Dunlop's son races to NW 200 win
From BBC Sport
An emotional Michael Dunlop claimed victory in the 250 race in Saturday's North West 200, just two days after the death of his father Robert.
"I had to do it for him - I hope my dad's proud of me," said Michael, who secured his first North West success.
Steve Plater claimed a treble (feature race and both Supersport 600s) while Michael Rutter took a Superbike win.
Alastair Seeley (Superstock), Michael Wilcox (125) and Oliver Linsdell (400) also enjoyed victories.
Michael Dunlop edged out Christain Elkin and John McGuinness after making a late decision to race.
His brother William failed to make the grid for the same race because of mechanical problems with his bike.
Plater clinched the NW 200 feature race victory for the third straight year after a superb overtaking move on the last lap saw him finish ahead of Cameron Donald and Rutter.
Guy Martin was comfortable in the lead before being forced out in the third lap.
English rider Rutter went from third to first in a blistering move on the final lap to secure his 12th North West victory ahead of Martin and McGuinness earlier in the day.
"I got in the slipstream, put my head down and went for it," said Rutter.
"It's just awesome, fanstastic. To win it meant a lot to me and it was a great race."
Lougher clocked a new fastest lap of 118.416 mph in the first Supersport 600 race before Plater went better with 119.197 in the final lap - Seeley was second with Lougher third.
Plater, from England, completed his hat-trick with a second Supersport 600 win from Seeley in second and Lougher again in third.
"Everyone has done a fantastic job and I'm already looking forward to next year," said a delighted Plater.
Wilcox, after four runner-up finishes at the North West, finally secured a win from Chris Palmer in second while James Ford came in third.
Northern Ireland competitor Seeley came through on the final corner to pip Bruce Anstey and Cameron Donald in the Superstock class while Martin ran a new fastest lap of 121:949.
Robert Dunlop's funeral will be held on Sunday.
