Samsung Honda's Jon Kirkham says he is 'gutted' he wil📖l miss tomorrow's two MCE British Sup༒erbike Championship races at Oulton Park.

Kirkham crashed out at high speed in the opening race today at 🌳Water Tower and the race was re-started as a result of the accident.

The Brands Hatch race winner suffered concussion in the fall and was knocked unconscious, ruling him out of the remai𓆉nder of the meeting.

Kirkham said: "I can't really remember too much about the crash to be honest; I have seen the footage and all I can remember🍌 was just before I got a bit of a slide on at the chicane and knew I had to push as Haga was there.

"I think maybe I was💧 ju🍸st pushing too hard or something as it is unlike me to crash in a race.

"I have concussion and ache a bit, but this circuit is so phܫysical that I feel like that after a good few 💞sessions anyway," he told the official British Superbike website.

"All I can say really is I am absolutely gutted to have ended the weekend like this; I saw Oulton Park𝔍 as a chance to score some good points for the championship and we had some good pace.

"I just feel so 🥂disappointed for the w🐻hole of the Samsung Honda team."
