David Knight has been speaking to Manx Radio about what might have been after a bad case of flu got the better of him at the opening round of the World Indoor Enduro Championship in Sheffield.
The Ballaugh rider pulled out after the first of three finals, coughing badly and struggling to breathe.
He told Edward Oldham things had gone well in the qualifying and his heat, which he won pretty easily, but the virus really started to take hold once he was in the final:
