BOBBATH 466 Posted June 4, 2008 Anybody know how old he was-this is ghoulish I know, but I can think of only one other World Finalist who committed suicide if indeed VP killed himself- and that's Kenny Carter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 24 Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) OK that's right-name another!! I think there was a young Pole in 2004 who rode for Swindon. Rafal Kurmanski. You also hear occasionally about ex-riders who have died in tragic circumstances, but I don't want to start a list. Edited June 5, 2008 by Ian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
