Oh god. I'm so, so sorry to hear this.

It's unbelievably sad.

Terrible. Heartfelt condolences, Prestige.

That's heartbreaking to hear. So sad for your sister, Prestige.

So so sorry to hear this. Thoughts to you, Prestige, and anyone else affected.

Fuck. RIP.
Such sad news, such a waste of life and potential :(

In the morning everything still looked possible, but then situation got worse fast. Rider peacefully passed away 1pm today. Fortunately he did not feel pain in any point after the accident.
Goes without saying that accidental death is always tragedy. Henry and her fiancee had they had just recently bought new home, and wedding was being planned.

Hopefully his story helps drivers and cyclist to be more careful out there.

I am so sorry to hear this. Condolences.

Hey Prestige - just wanted to check you know this part of the forum is open to all/doesn't need a log in.

It is of course entirely your perogative to release the name of course, just wanted I make sure you know this thread is in public domain as the last thing you need right now is journalists looking for a story x

Thank you pootsmanuva, I'm aware that this is open, and was contemplating if it is smart to release the name, and could not think any harm from it, but no I do not want journalist looking for a story from this, so I did edit the post.

Sorry Prestige. Love to all x

So, so, sorry to read this, Prestige.
My thoughts are with you and your family, as well as anyone who knew the rider.
RIP.

Terrible to read this. Thoughts are with you and your family Prestige.

So sad to read this news. Condolences to Prestige and all friends and family. RIP.
