We

The BSB race paddock will never be the same without one of the nicest and friendliest racers who loved being out and about amongst the race fans. Ollie always stopped to chat to everyone and once you had spoken to him he always treated you like one of his best friends and I can't believe that I'll never see him again!

Lots of love Ollie xx

Our sincerest sympathy

Met him briefly on the pitwalk at Oulton 2 weeks ago. Even though we were being ushered out, he made time to sign our book and was really friendly to us.
Watched this brilliant talent and as my partner was called the milky bar kid at school too, I guess we felt a connection there and followed his progress this year.
We are both very moved at this sad time, our deepest sympathy go out to his family at what must be a terrible time.
Reading some of the comments on other sites, I would be very proud as parents to hear how much my son was loved and respected by all who met him. He must have truly been a fantastic guy and a son to be truly proud of.

Regards from Shelley and Mark up in Leyland.

Good Night Sleep Tight My Friend

Dear Ollie
My new friend, we had just made pals. You'd pop round on your paddock bike to say hello at the meetings. Your smiling face was such a joy. You lightened up my day.
My thoughts are with your family right now.
Wherever you are keep smiling Ollie

So sorry to hear what happened. You were a great racer. You will be missed by all that knew you and all the fans.
Racing is a hard sport but fun and you knew how to enjoy yourself on the bike. Hope Tommy has the strength to carry on.
