As I said in the crash video section, there was a big crash at the end of the supersport race between Alastair Seeley & Lee Johnston. Weather is horrible for racing on a 'track' like that. |

There must have been a big crash. Red flag, bike on fire, no footage unfortunately. |

One of my favourite British riders. In my opinion, he was up there with the best BSB talents racing in WSBK and MotoGP nowadays. Just very, very unlucky. An endless string of injuries marred his career, which sadly came to an end. Rest in peace Simon. |
