H M Plant Honda's Josh Brookes set his fastest time of 0'49.395s in the third practice at Knockill this weekend for the Visk British Superbike Championship before crashing out at turn one of the circuit.
Brookes low sided at Seat Curve sending him rolling into the gravel with is CBR1000RR sliding next to him.  Even though fortunately he is unhurt the same could not be said for his Honda, which put the H M Plant Honda garage in full action mode to repair the bike for the afternoon's Swan Combi 50 Roll for Pole session.
As first practice ended Brokes managed to still finish a solid sixth in the session, at a circuit where the top twenty riders are all within an amazing second of one another.
