Fellow riders struggle to come to terms with loss

Fans and riders are in shock after the sudden passing of William Dunlop.

The 32-year-old lost his life in a practice session at the Skerries 100 in County Dublin on Saturday.

He was a regular fixture in Isle of Man motorcycle racing, competing with younger brother Michael in the TT and Southern 100 for more than a decade.

Flags were flown at half-mast at Billown yesterday in tribute.

Northern Ireland compatriot Davey Morgan says he's struggling to come to terms with the loss.
