I witnessed Marks crash at mathers cross, on warm up lap he looked quick, in 250 race he was leading 2nd group and lost front mid corner end due to no fault of his.Was strong crosswind which perhaps affect smaller bikes. At time i thought he survived i couldn't believe it when press statement later that evening announced he passed away in hospital.
I know that words are very little consolation to Mark and Andrew's family but here's something I read somewhere .... "WHAT IF YOUR FEARS AND DREAMS EXISTED IN THE SAME PLACE? ... WHAT IF TO GET TO HEAVEN YOU HAD TO BRAVE HELL? .... WHAT IF EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED, COST YOU EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER ACHIEVED? ... WOULD YOU STILL GO THERE?"
Alan, this is a fantastic tribute - a picture says a thousand words, I prayed that we would have a safe year in '09 after a very sad '08 but it was not to be. Although I did not know Mark personally I watched him race many times I even filmed him leave the grid for the last time, I have to express my sympathy to his girlfriend & family and also to his team, who have since suffered another sad loss in Andrew Neill - your photos at 1:20 - 1:24 & 6:09 - 6:12 are very poignant.
Thank you for this Alan. I watched it on the DVD you gave me last week... Heartbreaking to see such a tribute to Mark... I never thought I'd see the day...
Happy Birthday for tomorrow Mark (15th December) x
