It is with great sadness that I have to report that Martin died while competeing in the Tandragee 100 in Armagh on Saturday. Martin had won an earlier race and was killed as a result of an accident in a later race in which three spectators were also injured - thankfully none are reported to have life threatening injuries. Martin leaves a young wife and daughter. Sympathies go out to Martin's family, friends and team. RIP Martin Finnegan a great champion.   Davegess Posted on Monday, May 05, 2008 - 04:48 pm:        Yes, I saw that, a very sad day indeed. RIP   Jackbequick Posted on Monday, May 05, 2008 - 07:54 pm:        A sad thing, racing events run over public roads are such an incredibly wonderful but dangerous thing. My sympathy to all.
