chris4gillian Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 I can't believe 10 years has passed since Rico's fatal ride. I used to love watching Lee, especially when he had the union jack on his back as it seemed to spur him on even more. Was a joy to watch every time he got on his bike. He was a really nice guy too.

Sadly missed I can echo that 100%. I remember Lee sticking with it early days where many others would have quite. Thoughts are with the family.

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Not that’s it really relevant but my memory of that day was a strangely poignant one, although still riding I was also mechanic for hynek stichuer and we had gone to stay with hynek while going to the czech GP, on the Sunday we went to pardubice track, there were only us there and we were having a drink in the workshops under the pits of which one was formally lee Richardson’s, his stickers were all over the benches and cabinets, we locked up and went for food and we heard the news he had died, it’s was sickening when I think back to it but just felt odd and poiniant that we had been in in old workshop at the time he was killed, as I said not really relevant but reading this thread just reminded me of that day 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 So great of Havvy to dedicate Poole's win at Redcar on Friday to Lee's memory. (ref. article in www.bournemouthecho.co.uk) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 It was devastating. I remember arriving at Hull and got talking to him in the car park. I congratulated him on his U21 win and he was chuffed. Said, cheers mate, and was rightly proud of it. I watched him at Poole in his first season and regularly scored 0,0,0 but the promotion stuck with him. Ended up a top rider. Terrible tragedy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
