Billy Redmayne - RIP

[Kwacky]

A motorbike racer from the Isle of Man has died following a crash at the Oliver's Mount Spring Cup.

Billy Redmayne, 25, from Laxey, sustained severe head injuries in the crash and passed away at James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough.

His girlfriend Hannah Wright announced Redmayne's death on Facebook and said he "died doing what he loved".

The Bob Smith Spring Cup meeting at Scarborough was abandoned following the Manx soldier's accident at the weekend.

Race organisers, the Auto 66 Club, said: "Our sincere condolences go out to Billy Redmayne's family and friends at this devastating time."

Wright said Redmayne's death came on the date of their second anniversary.

"Words cannot describe how hard this is for us all. Saying goodbye to him was the hardest thing I have ever done," she said.


By all accounts his head injuries were so severe the family and his girlfriend made the decision to turn off his life support machine. There's little solace in the fact that they found donors for his liver and kidneys and they donated his pancreas for medical research.

Sad loss but as Hannah said, he died doing what he loved.
