Manx rider says it happened when bike was unattended
Ryan Cringle has hit out at those responsible for 'messing' with the rear suspension on his Superstock bike.
In a post on social media, the Manx rider says the machine was 'not handling like my own bike' when he took it out for a warm-up lap ahead of the race on Tuesday (6 June).
The newcomer went on to say it later transpired someone had changed the suspension whilst the machine was unattended, adding 'whoever you are I hope you feel proud of yourself for playing with my life like that'.
However, Cringle says once the race started he felt good on the bike again before finishing in 26th place, and is thanking his team for building another engine and bike up in time to take part.
