ROAD racer Ryan Farquhar remains in a serious condition in hospital following a high speed crash at the North West 200 earlier this month.

The Dungannon rider was admitted back into intensive care last weekend just days after his condition had stabilised.

A Belfast trust spokeswoman confirmed on Thursday that the 40-year-old remained "seriously ill".

Farquhar was injured in a collision with another rider during the Supertwins event on May 12.

He underwent surgery at the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast and was in a stable condition.

But he was admitted back into intensive care after his condition deteriorated last weekend.

English racer Dan Cooper (28) suffered a shoulder injury in the same crash.
