It was a disappointing weekend for Luke Mossey and his Teccare Profile Triumph team this weekend at the opening round of the Motorpoint British Supersport Championship at Brands Hatch. Mossey was having a good weekend at Brands and was setting consistent times during the testing and practice sessions.
The weather took a drastic turn for the worse on Sunday and the heavens opened, around 17 riders crashed out of qualifying and sadly for Luke he was one of the few to sustain an injury, dislocating his right shoulder. The medical staff quickly realigned it and put it back into place but he was declared unfit to ride for the rest of the weekend at Brands.
He will now undergo physiotherapy until Oulton Park and will be back on the bike there in the hope to get his season kick started. During testing on Friday Luke was fifth fastest, fourth in both practice sessions and still managed to qualify in sixth place despite only completing 12 laps.
Luke Mossey - "I'm totally gutted that my season has started like this, I have been training so hard over winter to get myself fit for the season and just feel so dis-heartened now not riding. The Teccare Profile Triumph felt brilliant all weekend and Brands is a track I really enjoy riding but I always seems to have a bit of bad luck here. The doctors in the medical centre were brilliant and were able to put my shoulder back in quickly and without too much pain. I went for a medical this morning but they declared me unfit to ride. I would much rather be fit for Oulton than injured for the rest of the season so although I am gutted I know the right decision was made.
I was riding well all weekend and setting some really good times which would be in the running with the front runners. I know we have the pace and we found a great set up it's just unfortunate I took the injury. Rest for me now and I'll be back for Oulton, sorry to let everyone down but thank you to all my sponsors and family who continue to stand by me."
