Scottish Superbikes

I could only make it for the first day of the two day event at Knockhill racing circuit. Thankfully the earlier light drizzle stayed away for the Scottish superbikes race. The race was a closely fought contest at the front between Greg Gilfillan (Suzuki GSX-R1000R) and Callum Grigor (Kawasaki ZX10RR). However it came to a premature end when they collided at the hairpin bringing the red flag out.

Both riders fell heavily and awkwardly. As usual the marshals and medics quickly and efficiently attended to both riders. Unfortunately Greg Gilfillan sustained heavy bruising and has a suspected fracture of his knee-cap. Callum Grigor appeared badly winded but was able to compete on Sunday.
