Broken Weekend for OHalloran

Unfortunately Jason O'Halloran was unable to compete in the third round of the Fuchs-Silkolene British Supersport Championship at Oulton Park this weekend after breaking his collarbone in a high speed crash at Cascades in second qualifying.

The young Australian had been working hard throughout the weekend at one of his favourite circuits but struggled to find a good set up on the Triumph 675 throughout the practice and qualifying sessions. Sitting in a potential tenth place on the grid the Aussie was using the final minutes to try and improve his time and position on the grid, sadly to no avail. A huge fast crash saw O'Halloran finish his day and weekend in the medical centre.

After a close inspection by the track doctors he was diagnosed with a splintered left collarbone, Jason is going to see a specialist on Tuesday and then the next steps will be taken to see if he requires surgery or not, in the hope to be back out on the Oxford Tag Triumph at Cadwell Park on the 22nd May.

Commenting he said "I'm really disappointed about hurting myself this weekend. It had been a tough weekend and we were struggling to find a set up that worked well for me here at Oulton. We had just made a bit of progress in the second qualifying session when I had a massive crash. Once I stopped rolling I thought I was ok but then the adrenalin wore off and knew I'd hurt my shoulder some how. I'm just gutted as I really wanted a good result here. I've not many weeks before Cadwell so I have to try and get myself fully fit again by then, just sorry for all the team and hope things take a turn for the better soon!"
