Relentless Suzuki's Josh Brookes has said he can't believe he wasn't injured in the British Superbike race one crash at Brands Hatch which saw him spat over the highside of his GSX-R1000 half-way down Paddock Hill.

The Bringelly man suffered only a concussion and wasn't knocked out in the crash which had most of the crowd holding their breath as they waited for him to come back to earth.

“I suppose we did all right coming back from where we were in qualifying and I have to say, everything felt one-hundred percent better on my bike. As I said after qualifying, I knew what caused the problem and once we’d that sorted we were fast in morning warm-up and in the race," said Brookes.

"While I was battling with people in the race I couldn’t get into a proper rhythm, but once I got to P2, which was quite easy, I was totally confident. I saw Shakey and thought, ‘I’m in a good position here,’ but it all ended at Paddock Hill. I’m upbeat because I really can’t believe how I didn’t injure myself in such a big crash. Now I’m just looking forward to Oulton Park.”
