Eugene unable to take part in Thailand race 2 because of technical problems

Despite the very best efforts of Team Go Eleven, Sunday’s Race 2 in Thailand was not to be possible for Eugene Laverty to take part in.

The technical crew tried until the last second available, but it was simply not possible to start in Race 2.

The team had tried to rebuild the bike through the night, destroyed after yesterday’s violent impact, in time for the final race-day.

Eugene managed to line up on the grid ahead of the race, but a technical problem forced the team to raise the white flag before the green light came on.

It is a brutally disappointing end to a difficult weekend for Eugene and the team.
