Following a tough nine days in hospital, and a splenectomy, Ayrton Knowles is now back home and on the road to recovery.

Ayrton has gained some mobility and has his appetite back, but is struggling with the enforced ‘sitting still’ stuff and not doing much. He’s finding it hard having to watch the racing rather than competing, but knows he needs to take the time out to let his body recover fully and heal itself.

 According to sister Maddie; “There is no doubt that Ayrton will be back on a quad and back up to speed, but we are still unsure just when that will be. He’d like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has messaged, called and visited him over the past couple of weeks. This has really helped him improve and keep fighting. 

“I’d just like to add how important it is for all racers to get checked out if they don’t feel one hundred per cent after an accident. It can sometimes be a life or death situation, as we almost found out. I don’t want anyone to go through what we did, and what we nearly went through.”
