Well lets just say that race day didn’t go to plan…
A great start to the day with a decent qualifying and a really positive first race. It all came unstuck on the first lap of race 2.
Came into turn 1 and 2, i chose the inside and as i was rounding turn 2 i was squeezed on the inside and touched the brakes, front tucked and down i went, the fella behind me had no where to go and ran into me, and his bike ended up on top of me and i slid with the bike on me until i came to a stop on the edge of the track. Huge shout out to the other rider as he immediately got up and lifted the bike off me.
Ended up spending a night in hospital and had a surgery the next morning on my hand.
Want to say a massive thank you to everyone who helped with the pack up etc after the crash!
Also want to sing the praises of my Arai helmet, kept me safe while i was pinned down under a bike sliding along the ground, it was the reason i was able to get up and walk away from that accident.
Thank you to all my sponsors
