Tragedy at the North West 200. Motorcyclist Simon Andrews died yesterday after a horrific crash at Saturday's race. Simon, who was from England, passed away in the Royal with his parents Stuart and Dee, and girlfriend Lisa by his bedside. His father said that his son "loved road racing and he loved competing at the North West 200". Michael Larkin contacted the Nolan Show after our debate on the safety of the North West 200 yesterday. Michael's a road racer himself. He also knows first hand the dangers of the sport as his brother, Stephen, died four years ago at the Kells road race. #BBCNolan
