The 36-year-old came off during practice at Dundrod on Wednesday.

The news comes following the tragic death of Wigan rider Jamie Hodson on Thursday. The 35-year-old crashed during the Dundrod 150 National race at the Joey’s Windmill section of the course. His brother, Rob Hodson, was involved in the same accident but did not suffer serious injuries.
