Noel Murphy dies at Tandragee 100
The incident happened on a stretch of the course between Cooley Hill Corner and Castle Corner.
The crash happened during the fourth lap of the Junior Support Race - the second race of the day.
Mr Murphy was from Lusk in Co Dublin.
It is the second road racing tragedy to hit that village in recent years. In 2008 Martin Finnegan, also from Lusk, died in the Tandragee 100.
Tragic. Formula One has become reasonably safe in recent years, but Motorcycle Road Racing continues to be very dangerous.

It's class to watch real speed unfortunately you just can't make it safe, I suppose that's what makes it such a rush living on the edge of your life. Every move is life threatening so it's the brave that wins ...
Who loves ya baby......!!
