Neil Hodgson becomes a father

Neil Hodgson can start celebrating early after becoming a father today, Tuesday September 2.

Holly Hodgson was born a 2:30pm weighing seven pounds after being induced a week early to allow Neil to be present at the birth.

Both baby and mother Kathryn are doing fine, allowing dad Neil to concentrate on the World Superbike races at Assen this weekend, which could see the Brit become the world superbike champion.
