Josh Elliott has given a ‘massive thank you൩’ to the OMG Racing team for repairing his BSB Suzuki GSX-R1000R after splitting it in two in a spectacular accident at Donington Park.

The Englishman, who scored his first BSB during the Silverstone season opener in April, s🌳lid off the machine at the Craner Curves during FP2, with the bike digging into the ground before spiralling into a destructive series of barrel-rolဣls.

Coming to rest in two pieces having scattered parts across the grass as it disintegrated, while ꦚElliott – who detached from the low-side early in the accident – was unhurt, it forced OMG Racing into a complete rebuild.

Rema𒁃rkably, the team followed through and had Elliott back on track in FP3 and Qualifying. Though Elliott went on to have a tough three races outside of the points, he was amazed to be out on track at all after Friday’s incident.

“Really tough weekend, I probably had the biggest crash of my career in FP2 down Craner Curves and completely destroyed the 🌳bike which gave the team a lot of work to do. A massive thank you to the whole team, they’ve done an a🐼mazing job to basically build a brand-new bike for Saturday.
