Bloody hell

That's grim.

Grim. Obviously I don’t think anything official is out there about how/what but his history of being a fking knobhead with a short fuse is really not going to help him here. RIP, really nasty stuff, and two kids under 5 too.

Indeed, he’s always appeared to have been a loose cannon at best, and more likely a tosser.

Awful for Melissa. Sad news indeed.

Didn't Dennis abandon the 2020 TdF due to marital issues?

I vaguely recall some problems at home that he used as the excuse albeit that was due to his training regime as I understood it whereas now he is retired.

Definitely a mercurial character.

Melissa Dennis jumped on the bonnet and tried to grab at the door handle…before car started to leave…

Did you know him?

"There was no intention of Mr Dennis to harm his wife and this charge does not charge him with responsibility for her death,"

Anyone who has watched cycling over the years know he was a prick. A hot headed prick.

According to his defence lawyer - at least attribute the quote for context.
