Such desperately sad news!
Martin Ashby was a true Swindon sporting icon and one of my first sporting heroes.
He won the 1st race I ever saw, was undefeated in the first 5 meetings I went to and was my Dad's favourite rider - these things stay with you.
A glittering career, but always such a humble, polite and generous man with fans.
Sleep well Martin, and thank you!
