Footage of Guy Martin's high-speed Superbike crash which has left the English rider needing back surgery has emerged.
Martin was competing in the Dundrod 150 Superbike race when he lost control of his Tyco BMW.
Battling with rival Bruce Anstey on the final lap of the race, Martin lost control on the Ireland's section of the Co Antrim circuit and was sent flying from his bike.
Martin's team initially tweeted: "Guy is banged about a bit but nothing broken".
Just to let fans know Guy is banged about a bit but nothing broken - his @dainese suit @agv_uk helmet did their job.
