2024 saw Rory Skin♎ner taste victory for the first time in the British Superbike Championship, ♕but it also saw him held back by injuries.

By the end of the year, Skinner’s run of injuries meant that — although he won at Knockhill — he ended the year 17th in the standings, and on the same points as BSB Pathway Champion Lewis R💦ollo.

Of the 32 races run in 2024, Skinner only finished nine inside the po♊ints, and the season-closing Brands Hatch weekend was the sixth round of 11 from which Skinner took no points after crashing in Race 2 and withdrawing from Race 3.

“Not the way I wanted to end my season, obviously,” Skinner to꧋ld wuqian0821.com after the final BSB round of the year at Brands Hatch, where he crashed in Race 2 on Sunday and withdrew from Race 3.

“I crashed in theꦛ first race this morning and gav꧃e my ribs and my lungs a battering.

“So, we decided it would be best not to do the last r♌ace, we didn’t have much to gain, a lot more to lose. So♕, we’ll try to come back fit next year and have a good run at it.

“It’s been a bit of a difficult year anyway. The good bi♛ts have been good, the bad bits have been bad; it’s certainly been a challenging year.

“But, if I look at the positive💎s: I was the only BMW to win a race this year in British Superbikes; first year on the bike; first year with a lot of my personnel working o🦄n the bike.

“So, it’s good, it’s nice to see that thereܫ was defin⛄itely some progression when things were good.

“Just kind of ‘wrong pl🏅ace, wrong time’ has been the story of my season.”

🌸Skinner is yet to confirm his 2025 plans, but was relatively unconcerned about having something ready for next year.

“Obviously, not sorted anything♓ out yet,” he said, “but things are all kind of in the works of being sorted out. So we’ll see how things go💫 over the next month or two.”
