Dungannon roads legend Ryan Farquhar remains ’seriously ill’ in intensive care after undergoing surgery at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast.
Farquhar was taken by air ambulance to the hospital yesterday following a crash at Black Hill on the third lap of the Supertwin race which also involved Dan Cooper. The Stroud rider was taken to Causeway hospital in Coleraine with shoulder injuries and has now been discharged.
In a separate incident, newcomer Nico Mawhinney was also taken by helicopter to the Royal Victoria following a crash during the Superbike practice session. He is said to be in a stable condition and has been admitted to a ward.
