    Very sad news in BSB today...

    One of the most talented and most likable characters in BSB passed away today during free practice... Ollie Bridewell was riding his GSXR1000 in SBK when he fell off the bike and seemingly slid into a barrier...

    If you read RACER, you know who this guy is. Damn funny and always has a smile. He was teaming withi his brother Tommy on a privateer Suzuki team this year...

    RIP Ollie. You will definitely be missed...

    Respects given to Ollie's family and friends. Never, ever, a good day when something like this happens, at home or abroad.
