They also said, ”We stayed in touch with her as she entered the world of racing, and we felt an overwhelming sense of joy as we saw her ride to victory for the very first time. Because of this, we were on the very edge of our seats. When we learned about the horrific accident that took her life a week ago, it was with unfathomable sorrow that we found out about it. Her passing has left a void in our lives. In addition to our own team”
They concluded by saying, ”I am confident that the entirety of the community in the UK that had the pleasure of meeting Megan will join us in extending our sincerest love and condolences to Megan’s family and friends in the wake of her passing.”
