Unfortunately, with my injuries, the main one been a really, serious head injury, I won’t be able to compete at the Isle of Man TT races.
I am absolutely devastated about it as me and the KTS racing team had been working well together as always and with the new bikes.”

“I’d been riding and feeling the best, I’d ever felt on the bike everywhere I’d been too, been as fast as I’d ever been round said circuits and everything was going so well even at the northwest the Thursday race day was good, having been away for a few years.
Like to apologise to the KTS Macadam factory racing and the KTS racing team all their sponsors and everyone involved with both teams.
Also, my personal sponsor and the 36 club members. We all work towards the Isle of Man TT races and feel like I’ve let everyone down.
Gutted is an understatement, hopefully see you all soon.”
