I rushed to the tyre wall to get over the shock, then to the bike to see if we can carry on, for a ride. No chance, the gear lever was broken, so it was pushed back to our pit nearby. ...

Hi Andy, just so you know for next time ... don't bother running over, we're not allowed to restart after crashing so you may as well get a comfy seat and watch the show.

I crashed heading into the chicane at the first round this year at Cadwell (lap 2!), and after I'd limped to the side of the track I had a gransdstand view of the rest of the race.

Great report though, and well done. I'm impressed with how you've rolled up and starting kicking asses! Rock on!
