I have just seen the Sky News and I am shocked and speechless. Sad loss for his family and friends.

[mannginger]

Utterly, Utterly awful news. I watch the bike races only very rarely, but when I did I always watched out for him. One of the few names and faces I know from the sport on TV.

My condolences to his family and friends - another true PetrolHead gone this year.

RIP Steve

Terrible news,Steve was a great rider and a special person he will be sadly missed in the paddock both here and in the IOM.
My thoughts are with his family.

[s2ooz]

that just doesnt even seem real. Im sure it will sink in eventually. what a loss.

[johno]

Totally gutted !

I just can't believe how many top quality riders we have lost this year ...

Steve Hislop was as fast as anyone in the world on his day, as his performance at Donington last year proved.

Another minute's silence at the next BSB round this year ....

[i_luv_ducati]

still hasn't sunk in, met him a few years ago as a kid, got his autograph.
rip steve x x x x x

Why? It just doesn't seem fair. We have lost so many greats in the last couple of years. What a top chap. Nice he got the BSB title. RIP Steve.
