Dan Linfoot has escaped any major injuries followingꦦ ♏his nasty accident when he was hit by Glenn Irwin's bike during the opening lap of race two at Assen in the Bennetts British Superbike championship.

In a🥃 multiple-rider clash, Linfoot’s front wheel made contact with Leon Haslam’s rear tyre which sent the Honda Racing rider down and into the path of the oncoming BSB field.

Linfoot was struck accidentally by Irwin’s ♓Be Wiser Ducati, while his Honda bike collected Moto Rapido Ducati’s Tommy Bridewell, with the Honda rider immediately taken to hospital with feared pelvis injuries.
