British Superbikes, Knockhill: Danny Kent - back on podium after “kicking myself” for race two error
Danny Kenওt was poised for a podium in race two but exited following Christian Iddon wide, using that as motivation for a rostrum visit to close his🍸 time at Knockhill.

Danny Kent had a weeᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚkend of🦋 ups and downs at Knockhill but recovered from his first DNF of the season in race two to stage a podium return for the final race of the meet.
The McAMS Yamaha rider has made a solid start to the season, with points at every race before race two, his worst result of the season coming in the first at Knockhill where he still 🦩placed seventh.
Consistency has seen the former Moto3 rider sit third in the title hunt, so it was a surpris🧔e to see Kent push at that moment for the win in the second race, ultimately leading to him sliding out of contention for the first time in 2024.

The #52 was happy to finish his trip to Scotland on a high, but was still ‘kicking himself’ over✅ his earlier error:
“It’s definitely going to make the eight hour journey home a bit easier! I was still kicking myself really from the crash in race two, I should have thought long term as soon as I got past Tommy and then I could see i♑n the corner of my eye that I was just pulling away.
I should have sort of settled and thought of the championship, but, you know, when I 📖had that carrot dangling in front if me and I could see myself catching the front two … I felt like I could have maybe caught them and won it but it was nice to finish the weekend with a podium”.
Kent went on to🎉 make sure t🏅o praise his team, but still had his mind on what could have been:
“The team gave me a great bike all weekend - I felt great on the bike, so yeah overall happy, still kicking myself a little bit from the mistake in race two.”
