British Superbike Championship pays tribute to Steve Hislop at Knockhill

British Superbike Championship pays tribute to Steve Hislop at Knockhill

Legendary motorbike racer Steve Hislop was celebrated at Knockhill on Sunday in a round dedicated to his memory.

Former team-mates Niall Mackenzie and Jamie Witham completed some special laps at the Fife circuit in tribute to the rider, who died in a helicopter crash 10 years ago.

The event was just one part of the weekend’s British Superbike Championship, which Hislop won in 1995 and 2002.

Thousands descended on the famous racing venue for the three-day extravaganza, making it Knockhill’s biggest event of the year.

Mackenzie said: “We all were going out for some steady laps and I could hear Whit behind me back shifting and prepared to go a bit faster.Photo gallery: British Superbike Championship races into Knockhill“It was great. The bike still feels really sharp and it was lovely to see Steve’s lads here watching trackside too.

“It has been great that we can remember him with a fantastic tribute as he had a lot of special races here at Knockhill.”

Witham added: “I would have done 25 laps if I had the chance. It was really, really good fun. I was quite surprised how good the bike felt and it wheelied and was brilliant.

“It is a pity that Hizzy isn’t with us any more but he would have loved that.”
