Samsung Honda's Jon Kirkham says he is 'gutted' he will miss tomorrow's two MCE British Superbike Championship races at🐷 Oulton Park.
Kirkham crashed out at high speed in the opening race today🅰 at Wat🦂er Tower and the race was re-started as a result of the accident.
The Brands Hatch race winner suffered♊ concussion in the f🧸all and was knocked unconscious, ruling him out of the remainder 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 rememb🙈er was just before I g🌼ot a bit of a slide on at the chicane and knew I had to push as Haga was there.
"I think maybe I was just pushing too hard or something as it is unlike me to🐎 crash in a race.
"I have concussio💧n and ache a ꦓbit, but this circuit is so physical 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 a❀bsolutely gutted to have ended the weekend like this; I saw Oulton P𝕴ark as a chance to score some good points for the championship and we had some good pace.
"I just feel so disappointed forౠ the whole of the Samsung Honda team."
