AN IRISH road racer has been killed in practice for this year's Kells Road Races.
Stephen Larkin, 27, from Gilford, Co Down, was killed during the practice session for the 401-750cc support race at around 5.20pm on Saturday.
Mr Larkin, a father-of-three, was taken to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin where he died later from his injuries.
Despite the tragedy his family insisted the races should continue.
