Joey died in 2000,,, not 2008

[@shanerr7252]

[@jamesfinn6082]

She's a blonde reporter. Need I say anymore

[@sneakybow1]

They said Robert in 2008 and Joey in 2000 at least twice in the video

Exactly silly woman

His bike`s engine ceased, and he was thrown off down the road at high speed---horrible accident.

Sump nut came out, oil on back wheel caused it

I met William when I was 2😭😭😭

[@steve00alt70]

Its a shame if only William had have done pre safety checks before hopping onto the bike he would have been alive today. Dont ignore your safety checks people.

[@Original_SniperPro99]

safety checks and many, many, many variations, you don't know what's going to happen

[@shanerr7252]

Let the race go ahead thats what William would of wanted none of us want the race stopped because of our deaths the best tribute to us you can do is let the boys ride to their best ability thats the ultimate sign of respect ride in paradise William ✊

Get real man just listen to wat your sayin that statement you just said and i mean no disrespect to ya but for god sakes . Most normal people have conscience thankfully. who in the right mind would want to watch that after a person being tragically killed like that .how could anyone enjoy it after that .

[@shanerr7252]

​@@twincamGT you obviously don't know much of the sport or riders

[@twincamGT]

I don't I just think of the devastation left behind

[@steve00alt70]

William would have wanted for everyone to do safety checks on their bikes

[@theant9821]

​@@twincamGTWilliam or any of the other riders would hate the idea of the race being cancelled because of them.
Its their passion and they'd want to know everyone would have a good race with or without them.

[@IansOddInterests]

Like his father, mechanical failure. .. so sad.

[@patmakofficial9991]

Man for godness sake...can at least Michael stop racing? So that at least one of them Dunlops can live a longer life?

[@spac18]

He wants the break his uncle's record

[@biggedybiggedybong8032]

@@spac18 im hoping he matches Joeys record then he hangs up his leathers. Two Dunlops @26wins???..
...and with the 2022 TT results he is steadily notching them up...

[@ralphwarom2514]

I was actually thinking the same thing. I beleive in taking risks. But sometimes its ok to hang up your hat. Live has to be lived fully. But also lived long.

[@dr.davidschneider8120]

na he just won a 25th TT 🎉
