'Motorbike malfunction' in crash that killed Ballymoney road racer William Dunlop inquest told

A forensic collision report into the death of motorcyclist William Dunlop four years ago concluded there was a malfunction with his motorcycle, an inquest has heard.

Lawyers for the owners of the vehicle, Mar-Train, Mr Dunlop’s racing team, told a pre-hearing of the full inquest into the rider’s death that they believed a more correct description of what happened would be that there was “damage sustained” by the motorcycle.

The racer was killed as a result of a crash in Skerries, Co Dublin, on July 7, 2018 during a practice run for the Skerries 100 races.
