Jenny Tinmouth bounced back from a first lap cr๊ash and gave huge credit to her mechanics for getting the bike fixe꧑d for the afternoon session.

The UK's highest 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 Redgate on her fir𓂃st outlap in free practice one.

Tinmo💦uth says she was shocked by the crash and blamed the cold trꦛack conditions for the off.

"Today was an education. I was gutted [about the𝔉 crash] because it was so 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 b✱it unfortunate on such a cold track♍ and I ended up going straight off. I closed the throttle for the corner and tipped in and went straight off.

"The damage wasn't mega bad but it was bad enough because I did a full high side. I feel 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 sustained to her Honda CBR1000RR forced her to sit out the whol🐻e of ಞfree practice one, losing valuable track time on her rivals.

"I felt so 🔥bad for my team because they had to 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 the day was a 1m 34.975s, 4.8 seconds off t👍he pace setter Ryuichi Kiyonari.

"This afternoon was fine and it was good to get some consistency and some ⭕good laps under 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."
