Tragic news from Mallory Park20th July 2007Team NBare stunnedby the loss of Ollie Bridewell earlier today.Ollie wasriding in the first free practice in heavy rain and lost control of his machine whilst negotiating the Esses.Olliecollided with the safety barrier and despiteprompt medical assistance, was unable to recover fromthe injuries he sustained.Team manager Norris Farrow said "Words are very difficult right now, we are all absolutely devasted by Ollie's death and our heartfelt sympathies go out to Marcus, Liz, Charlotte and Tommy."" Ollie was held ingreat regard by allthose involved in TeamNB and his loss is deeply felt". Both Ollie and brother Tommy was on the same race team. Team NB Ollie was only 21 I feel sorry for his family's lossand also his race team. It must be tough on his younger brother Tommy to have lost his team mate as well as brother.Upsetting news for his family I would like to offer my condolences to them and the race team.
