In a post on his Facebook page, Mr Boyd said: 'I was knocked unconscious immediately, allowing my body to fall back and drape off the side of the bike.
'Luckily, I have no memory of the incident, only that I had left pit lane and woke up in hospital with blurred vision coupled with seeing different colours in each eye.

'All I have is a totalled bike and some videos to put meaning to the mess - had I of stayed attached to the bike upon impact, I doubt I'd be sharing this with you now.'
He also thanked the fellow riders who pulled up and helped him after the incident.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help repair his bike by Becki Ward and asks people to support 'a very talented young rider'.
