It’s 23 years ago today that Australia’s brightest motorcycle racing star passed from our presence in a car race at Phillip Island. I’ve chronicled Gregg’s career and achievements here before so I don’t intend to do so again. But the anniversary needs to be noted as Gregg was not only the best we ever had but a great and wonderful person as well and it is the loss of the man, rather than the racer that leave us the poorer.
RIP Gregory John “Gregg” Hansford. 8-4-52 to 5-3-95. His like will never pass this way again.
