Alastair Seeley and Alex Olsen come to blows following Oulton Park collision

Northern Ireland rider Alastair Seeley was left seething after being taken out while leading Monday's British Superstock Race 1 at Oulton Park.

Seeley was carried onto the gravel by Alex Olsen as the pair diced for the lead on lap 11 of the 14-lap contest.

Olsen attempted a daring move up the inside of Seeley at Lodge corner before clipping the rear end of the Carrick man's bike, forcing both riders off the track.

As Olsen attempted to restart his bike he was confronted by a furious Seeley. Olsen then lashed out at Seeley before the Co Antrim rider retaliated with a couple of blows to his rival's helmet.

Check out the incident below:

It was a stormy end to both men's race, and denied 43-year-old Seeley of a potential win at Oulton Park.

Olsen told Eurosport: "I didn't really know much about it (the collision). We were strong into that turn and everyone seemed to be a bit slower than me.

"He kept guarding the right hand side so I knew I had to make a bit of a lunge on him. I thought I was on the inside and he just clipped me.

"I don't know if he saw me, but I tried to keep us both upright as much as I could. I wasn't expecting a full fight in the gravel.

"I am sure we are going to get our wrists slapped."
