Danny Kent had a weekend of ups and downs at Knockhill but recovered from his first DNF of the season in race ✱two to stage a podium return for the final race of the meet.

The McAMS Yamaha rider has made a solid start to the season, with points at eve⛦ry race before race two, his worst result of the season coming in the first at Knockhill where he still placed seventh.

Consistency h💜as seen the former Moto3 rider sit third in the title hunt, so it was a surprise to see Kent push at that moment for the win in the second race, ultimately leading to him sliding out of contention for the first time in 2024.

The #52 was happy to finish his trip to Scotland on a high, but was still ‘kicking himself’ o♍ver his earlier error:

“It’s defin🌜itely going to make the eight hour journey home a bit easier! I was still kicking myself really from the crash in race two, I should have thought long term as soon as 💎I got past Tommy and then I could see in the corner of my eye that I was just pulling away.

I should have sort of settled and thought of the championship, but, you know, when I had that carrot dangling in front if meཧ and I could see myself catching the front two … I felt like I could have maybe  caught them and won it but it was nice to finish the weekend with a podium”.

Kent went on🥂 to make sure to praise his teaꦫm, but still had his mind on what could have been:

“The team gave me a great bike all weekend - I felt great on the bike, so yeah overall happy, still kicking myself a little bit from the mistake in race two.”
