Donington Park: Tinmouth: Always good to get first crash out the way

Jenny Tinmouth bounced back from a first lap crash and gave huge credit to her mechanics 💮for getting the bike fixed for the afterᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚnoon session.
The UK's highe💎st profile female two-wheel racer has stepped up to the works Honda squad for the new MCE British Superbike season and suffered a nightmare start to round one at Donington Park when she crashed at R🧸edgate on her first outlap in free practice one.
Tinmouth says she was shocked by t🤡he crash and blame𝓀d the cold track conditions for the off.
"Today was an education. I was gutted [about the crash] because it was s😼o unexpected," Tinmouth said. "I've raced here before when there has been snow♌ on the side of the track so I know you need to take it slow on the cold track.
"This morning was a bit unfortunate on such a cold track and I ended up going straight off.𒊎 I closed the throttle for the corner and tipped in and went s𒀰traight off.
"The damage wasn't mega bad but it was bad enough because I did a full high side. I 𒐪feel fine as I landed on my backside. It's always good to get one crash out the way."
Her misfortune was compounded when the damage sustaine🌳🅘d to her Honda CBR1000RR forced her to sit out the whole of free practice one, losing valuable track time on her rivals.
"I felt so bad for my team because they had toꦰ put my bike back together again but they've been brilliant to get out this afternoon," she added.
Tinmouth eventually got some solid running in the afternoon, notching up the joint-third most laps of any rider in the session. The Honda Racing rider's quickest time of th💫e day was a 1m 34💜.975s, 4.8 seconds off the pace setter Ryuichi Kiyonari.
"This afternoon was fine and it was good to get some consistency 🐻and some good laps und🔯er my belt. I did three planned sessions in the afternoon, two seven-lap stints then a quick flurry at the end. It was great to find some consistency."
