R.I.P Shane Richardson

07 May 2025 | All News

Following the tragic accident at the BSB Championship, we are mourning the loss of one of our own.

Shane Richardson was not only a talented and fearless competitor on the track, but also a deeply respected and much-loved member of our racing family.  He was named Male Rider of the Year in 2018, a testament to his exceptional skill, dedication and sportsmanship.

Beyond his achievements, Shane was a genuinely kind and humble person who inspired those around him.  His loss is felt deeply across the entire community.

We extend our condolences to Shane’s family, friends and all of those affected during this incredibly difficult time.

Shane will be remembered always – RIP
