Sidecar racer Alan Founds says he and Rhys Gibbons are “very second hand”, but “here to tell the tale” after their crash in the Southern 100.
The two were involved in a crash in the sidecar race on Thursday, a crash which saw the race red flagged.
Alan said: “Unfortunately I clipped the curb and ended up going through Joeys gate luckily just kissing the wall on entry, this flipped the bike upside down a few times, with Rhys becoming a ragg doll into the field.
“Rhys was taken to Nobles for a full mot and we’re pleased to say although very second hand this morning we’re here to tell the tale.”
He thanked medics and officials at the Southern 100 for the “swift attention and care we received”.
Founds and Gibbons had been third before the crash, with the former offering his “apologises to all our sponsors and supporter’s for giving you all a scare”.
