Bikers escort the funeral car carrying Martin Finnegan's remains to his county Dublin home

OVER a thousand bikers are expected to converge on the north Dublin town of Lusk tomorrow to pay their last respects to motor racing champion Martin Finnegan, who died in a biking accident

A stream of riders from both north and south of the border formed a lengthy cortege for the 29-year-old yesterday as his hearse made the journey from Armagh to his parents' home in the town centre of Lusk

Motorcycle gardai and riders from Mr Finnegan's club provided an escort of bikers three abreast, with the procession causing a five-mile tailback. His brother Sean, riding Mr Finnegan's spare Superbike No 45, led the cortege home

Mr Finnegan died on Saturday afternoon after he crashed at Marlacoo Corner during the Supersport 600 race at the Tandragee 100 meeting in Co Armagh
