Ollie was one of 2 brothers riding for the Naturally Best team, until this year known as the Vivaldi superbike team. He had graduated and grown with the team through the ranks and had become a top ten finisher at BSB, this year giving some of his best performances to date.
Ollie lost control in the left hand kink on the approach to the hairpin. There is very little run off and Ollie suffered a big impact and died at the track despite efforts to revive him.
He wrote a column in 'Racer' magazine which was usually highly amusing, and only last weekend he had the crowds in hysterics with his annecdotes when he briefly joined the commentary team at Oulton Park.
He was well liked and respected by all, and always had time to talk to anyone who approached him. He could often be seen watching the other racing and practice sessions, rather than sitting in his motorhome like other riders.
All practice for this weekends racing has at this time been suspended.
Everyone is totally stunned. RIP lad.
