David Knight rode a Yamaha France YZF450 in the Weston Super Mare beach race on Sunday but sadly had to pull out after only a handful of laps.
‘The bike was going great and I managed to get up alongside eventual winner Shaun Simpson when it started spluttering,’ said David yesterday. ‘I pulled into the pits, presuming it was water in the works, but after a quick check I went back out only for the same problem to occur again. I think there was something wrong with the fuel pump.’
It was disappointing for the big man, but the good news is that he looks like getting an offer to ride for Yamaha Europe next season. He has already been offered a spot by KTM UK.
‘I will hopefully get something sorted in time for the World SuperEnduro series which starts in early December.’ added Knighter, who intends riding the Yamaha in Sunday’s event at Bride.
l David’s partner, Emma Corlett, recently gave birth to their second child - Blae.
