TAG Triumph's Paul Young reckons he is gutted after being disqualified from second place in yesterday's British Supersport Championship race at Donington Park when his bike was found to be 500g under the minimum weight limit.
The Aussie battled with eventual winner Steve Plater and NW200 Yamaha's Dan Linfoot for the whole race only for it to come to nought when the scrutineers weighed his bike after the race and threw him out, promoting Linfoot to second.
“I thought we were shaking off our bad luck but after this perhaps not! We were weighed at Brands Hatch and were well in there so assumed we’d be OK here. The whole team is totally gutted," said Young.
"It’s difficult to feel positive at the moment, but on the plus side I am riding well and am pleased to be on the pace. I feel I’m still a contender and with nine races to go I’ve certainly not given up on the title.”
