Ryuichi Kiyonari has vowed to not give up on his hopes of a record-breaking fourth MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship title at Brands Hatch and after sitting out the Saturday race is determined to return to the track in warm up.

Kiyonari crashed out of free practice three, leaving him with an undisplaced fracture of the left collarbone. The Buildbase BMW rider however has been resting in the hotel following treatment and is determined to test his fitness in the morning during warm up.

Kiyonari said:

"I still can't believe what has happened. The crash happened so fast and I wasn't pushing too hard, but the data said that I had more acceleration than the lap before. I just think 'why now' and I am disappointed for today because we have worked hard to fight for the title, but I am not giving up yet because I can't, I have to try. I watched live timing today and now I am going to go to bed early and get up early and then visit the medical centre in the morning and try in warm up."
