Default Sad news, RIP Dez Chand. :(
its with great sadness that I inform you all of the passing of Dez Chand. Former RRCi Editor and all round nice bloke.

He was involved in an accident on his bike on his way to work this morning and unfortunately lost his life in the crash.

Anyone that knew Dez will know about his enthusiastic nature and love for bikes, loud shirts and Coka Cola. He was a true character and will deffinately be missed at the tracks around the country.


RIP Dez.

Sad news. I met Dez a couple of times, through the mardave, and micro scene. His enthusiasm is what I remember him for.

RIP Dez.

Oh dear what a tragic piece of news.
Ill always remember when I turned up to race the GPV bike never having one out of the box. Dez took pity on me and whisked me off to a car park for some private practice and lessons.
I never got the thumbs for RC Bikes, but I can only try to emulate his passion when new people arrive into our sport.

Drink Pepsi? Id rather eat worms.

Thanks for that lil quote Dez, RIP

What sad news, my thoughts go out to his family

He was such a great guy, always willing to lend a hand or give advice.

I met him at the RC bike worlds and he helped me out so much, kept in touch ever since, he will be missed :-(

Awful news. Dez was the biggest character in the on-road scene in the 90s when I started racing. He'd usually be racing about 5 cars, all of them painted like a Coke can.

For some reason I can remember an old issue of RRC where he had a car balanced on his head...

RIP mate, we'll miss you.
