'Save of the season' for Jenkinson in R6 cup.

Adam Jenkinson, a 20-year-old competitor in the R6 cup, pulled off a save of the season when his Yamaha tried to dismount him and send him off into the tyre barrier.

Jenkinson is carrying a hairline fracture in his pelvis from an accident at Knock Hill earlier this year so crashing just wasn't an option.

The plucky young rider was in second place in the race last weekend at Croft when the bike tried to throw him over the handle bars in a violent high-side.

Jenkinson managed to hold and with his knees dragging along the ground he brought his R6 to a stand still just inches from the tyre barrier.

From the pictures it can be seen just how close the bike came to disaster, but by placeing himself under the machine, Jenkinson kept the body work clean.

He then promptly turned his motorcycle around and continued on in the race, recording an astonishing fifth place.
