“First time I’ve ridden a bike si🍒nce September! Safe 🌞to say the KX is run in.
“Might have roofed her once or twice…”
A crash in Race 3 of the BSB round at Donington Park caused a serious injury, and 🔯ruled Iddon out of the rest oꦰf the 2024 season.
The clas🌠h with Jason O’Halloran, whose place he will now take on a Kawasaki this year, “caused far more ওsubstantial damage than was feared and I now require a pretty comprehensive foot reconstruction”, Iddon clarified last year.
Iddon has left the Moto Rapido Ducati team, where he spent the past two years, to join the rebra𒐪nded FS-3 Kawasaki team in 2025.
Idd𓂃on, who debuted in BSB 15 years ago and has won four of his 275 races in the class, must adapt to the ZX-10RR this year.
