Roberts sons Michael and William decided to race on Saturday.
William pulled off after the warm up lap due to machine problems but
watching the NW200 live online with a tear in my eye as Michael won the 250cc race on his RS yesterday less than 2 days since his dad was killed.
Its was his first race win at the NW200 !
He won by 1.029 seconds and averaged over 109mph for the race.
He also set the fastest lap of the race @ 110.5mph and was clocked at 155mph through the speed trap
There is nothing like the feeling of slipstreaming 4 or 5 bikes flat out at the NW200 with over 100,000 people watching and waving their programmes in the air urging the Irish riders on. Awesome place. Awesome people and Awesome racing !
Hope they never stop road racing !
