Liam Knight suffering with glandular fever

Liam Knight who had a great 2018 season finishing fourth in the MX2 British Championship has high hopes to be even better this season.

However, the first round of the British Championship didn’t go to plan because he got ill coming into the event. After a blood test it’s been revealed that he’s suffering with glandular fever.

Despite that, Knight still had a solid first round of the series ending up eighth overall. The Verde KTM rider will hope to get back to 100% soon for even better results.

Knight posted the following message on social media:
