Oh sh*t. That's bad news.

What a shame - British Champion last season on a MonsterMob Ducati then immediately losing his ride at MonsterMob and then the same thing at Virgin Yamaha a couple of weeks ago - very unfortunate. Great competitor - condolences to his family, friends and supporters. Nick

Oh God, that's terrible. I had become quite a fan of Hislop over the years as I got more into bike racing - in 2001 he was truly awsome. Always seemed such a decent bloke, too.

All that acheivement in such a dangerous sport - especially when you consider his TT triumphs - and dies like that. Just not fair, is it? I can't really believe it.

This is not a good year for bike racing.
