This weekend, at the Knockhill round of the Scottish Championships, did not go my way. As it was just a one day event, we left for the circuit on Sunday morning.

I planned to use a set of scrubbed tyres for the whole day and obviously I realise now that this was stupid.

I qualified on pole by 0.888 seconds with a good time (51.3s) so was happy that I had the pace over the other riders. It was a very cold day but dry and sunny.

In the first race, I was following the leaders closely and I felt much quicker so I planned to brake away on the last lap. Unfortunately, after several warnings from the wrecked tyre, it let go and I highsided out of the hairpin. Fortunately, the bike landed on top of myself which limited the damage to it but then I was beaten up but relatively uninjured.

I know that the crash was nothing to do with my riding so I am not deterred and I am very much looking forward to the final round of the BSB at Oulton Park this weekend and look forward to seeing everyone there.
