He wasn’t a competitor trying to win the race. He was a doctor risking his own safety to save lives. Dr. John Hinds, widely known as the “Flying Doctor,” became legendary for riding alongside motorcycle racers, positioning himself close enough to reach crash sites within seconds and provide critical medical treatment. His dedication to emergency care meant entering the same dangerous environment as the riders, ensuring injured competitors received help when every second counted. Rather than waiting for an ambulance to arrive, he brought lifesaving medical expertise directly to the track. Tragically, in 2015, Dr. Hinds lost his life in a motorcycle accident while providing medical coverage at Ireland’s Skerries 100. His remarkable courage, dedication, and contributions to motorcycle racing medicine left a lasting legacy, and he continues to be remembered as a doctor who put the lives of others before his own.
