Nathan Harrison has been transferred to Broadgreen Hospital in Liverpool for further assessment and rehabilitation.
The Onchan man was struck in the side by Callum Grigor’s bike as the latter crashed out at Donington last week.
Reflecting on the severity of the incident, Nathan said: “My body has taken one hell of knock and my Dad and Roisin keep reminding me I have been struck by a 170+kg motorcycle travelling in excess of 80mph and then I cartwheeled a long way before coming to a stop.
“Blunt force Truma is an understatement, but we always take the positives from the negative, a mili second earlier I wouldn’t be here.”
Fantastic
Nathan also thanked the medical team looking after him, saying: “I would like to thank the nurses at the major trauma unit in Queens Medical Centre, they were fantastic and we all feel for them what the have to deal with each day, they all deserve the world.”
He added: “Apologies to all my sponsors, family and friends this was looking like best season of my career and was looking forward to a winter of no hospitals, but that’s life and with my family, friends and supporters we will manage it and come back stronger.”
Thinking of Grigor, Nathan said he is “always thinking of Callum and all his family, keep fighting”.
Adding: “Hope things are starting to improve.”
