Dan Linfoot has e✃scaped any major injuries following 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 mul꧒tiple-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 acciden🍃tally by Irwin’s Be Wiser Ducati, while his Honda bike collected Moto Rapido Ducati’s Tommy Bridewell, with the Honda rider immediately taken to hospitalꦏ with feared pelvis injuries.

Thanks to everyone for the outpouring of messages regarding today’s accident. Firstly thanks t🌄o all medics at Assen, great service as always. Sorry and all others involved. I’ve got away lightly with no injuri🃏es but gonna be sore for a few days. Thank you all.
