The injured Rory Skinner will be replaced by Richard Kerr at Brands Hatch𒉰 this weeken🎶d.

Cheshire Mouldings BMW rider wil💧l miss the upcoming seventh round of the British Superbike Championship season after breaking his leg earlier this month following a crash at Snetterton.

ও“It’s been a whirlwind few days,” Skinner said. “Certainly, crashing out of a race at Snetterton wasn’t in the plan.

“Breaking m♓y tibia and fibula wasn’t in the plan either.

“I managed to geജt an operation done in Norwich ♏hospital.

“Thanks to all the people who staꦐyed to give me a🦄 hand.

“I’m not sure how long I’ll be off for. I’ve got a 36cm titanium rod right through my tibia, at the🍨 minute.

“I am allowing everything to settle down in the hy💖perbaric chamber.

“Once things start moving more freely, I’ll get the⛦ physio underway.

“From there, hopefully not long 𝔍u♛ntil I’m on the bike again.”

At Brands Hatꦓch this♐ weekend, Skinner will be replaced by Kerr.

Kerr is the reigning P🅷irelli National Superstock Champion who will debut in BSB.

He is likely to remain on the TAS Racing prepared M 1000 RR Superbike for longer, depending upon the length of Skinner’s rꦛecovery.

Kerr, 23, is has been racing in Moto A🎐merica’s Superstꦯock series this season.

“First of all, I’d like to wish 🍸Rory a speedy recovery,♛” Kerr said.

“As a racer no o♒ne likes to be out in🌄jured and especially as he has been doing such a great job for the team.

“I’ve known the TAS guys for quite some 🗹time and have obviously 💞raced against them in Superstock.

“I’m also aware of their pedigree and history, so when asked to s💧tand in for Rory in British Superbike, it was an easy decision to make. I’m looking forward to the challenge and represen🤡ting Cheshire Mouldings BMW in BSB and I’d like to thank the team for this opportunity.”

Team Manager Steve Plat൲er commented: “A few weeks in racing can certai𒁃nly throw a few curve balls.

“Rory has shown great pedigree this season in BSB, as has Davey in the Superstock series, so taking this into consideration, we felt it best f🍷or Davey to continue in Superstock and chase his second title in the class – this time🦩 for Cheshire Mouldings BMW.

“Taking on Super🅠stock and Superbike is just too much to ask of one rider an﷽d he understands the decision.

“Richard is a ta𒆙lented young💦 man and fully understands that he will stand in until Rory is fit to ride.

“He comes with a title under his belt, and we are confid🐲ent he is the correct choice in the circumstances. It’s always nice to give up-and-coming young riders an opportunity and I firmly believe he will fit in very well at TAS Racing.”
