Chris Moffitt has offered an update on his recovery following a serious incident at this year’s Manx Gಞrand Prix and says he is “lucky to be here”.

Moffitt crashed at Ballacrye during the Jun🍌ior Race at last month’s Manx GP, which was ultimately red-flagged and then scrapped altogether due to weather delays across the rest of the race schedule.

At the time he was reported as being in a s♓erious but stable condition.

Now Moffitt has taken to his social me🧜dia to offer a full update on his continued recovery following two operations on his left arm and a “really tough couple of weeks”.

“Just thought I’d do an update, as some will know 𓄧I had a ‘little’ off during the junior race at the Manx Grand Prix at one of the fastest places on the courไse, Ballacrye,” he said.

“I’ve susta🌄ined a long list of Injuries but feeling very lucky to be here.

“I was flown to Nobles to be stabilised then flow👍n to Aintree university h✱ospital where I’ve spent the past couple of weeks receiving the best care possible.

“I’ve had two operations on my left arm which is a mess but it’s ꧒starting to heal!

“It’s been a really tough couple of weeks but starting to see a little bit of progress the p♛ast few days.

“I’d like to thank my family for everything they’ve done, everyone for all the calls and messages, alꦿl of the officials, marshals, medics, air med crew for helping at the crash; the doctors and nurses  were amazing at aintree they went above and beyond, [as well as] everyone at Nobles.

“I got transferred (after some confusion) from Aintree Hospital - grateful, thanks again to the Aꦇir med team; it would not have 🎐been possible without you - back to Nobles, Isle of Man, on Wednesday evening.

“I’ve got a long road ahead but I’ll get there!

“And finally I’d like to thank ever🦩yone who helped make the Manx Grand Prix possible!”

Wayne Axon was alsoꦐ seriously injured in a crash in the Junior Manx GP rac𝓡e. His condition was reported as serious at the time.
