Malachi Mitchell-Thomas remembered: Tribute to rising star sadly killed at the ill-fated North West 200 four years ago

Young English rider Malachi Mitchell-Thomas took the Irish road racing scene by storm after signing for Northern Ireland team Burrows Engineering Racing in 2016.

The 20-year-old newcomer won three races on his debut at the Mid Antrim 150 and finished on the podium at the Cookstown 100 and Tandragee 100 meetings before the North West 200, where he claimed a stunning fourth in the Saturday Supersport race before tragedy struck in the Supertwin event on this day, May 14, four years ago.
