Daniel Smith Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Is the new rear guard an FIM legal requirement??? See Raun is using the old without a hugger in sight??? That is an ouch for Larsen, Hope he's good, that was a big off Edited May 11, 2012 by screamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) That was a sickening looking crash the way the bodies (live ones i hasten to add) flew about and landed. Hope it's the usual case of riders walking away from the worst looking ones. Edited May 11, 2012 by manchesterpaul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) looked a hard spill for Larsen, landed on shoulder getting loaded to ambulance now, hope he is just bruised Edited May 11, 2012 by Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandonbee48 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Jeez, that looks nasty. Fingers crossed for a nice guy! Getting good medical attention by the looks of it. Alan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMungo Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 They say he's reasonably okay all things considered. Took a knock to his head, but is conscious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just thinking it's a good job our Coventry representative not around, alas you caught sight of it. Bit hard to figure out what happened as the rider seemed to go level with the bike on the ground and then be spun up and around horizontal to the track!. Ouch! yeah just seen one thing i thought had happened in a replay, he appeared to hit his head direct with very strong force on his initial landing. That might explain why he flew up in the body position he did if he was momentarily unconscious??? Not necessarily a bad thing as they often reckon it's best to let yourself go as limp as you can rather than tense muscles and stiffen joints. I'm sure i saw him moving his leg after coming to a halt though, depends on how woozy he was as to whether he didn't writhe in agony with, say a broken leg. Hopefuly he's just really dazed and nothing broken? Edited May 11, 2012 by manchesterpaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandonbee48 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 I'm sure i speak for the other non-Danish speakers, that we really appreciate info given, as above. Danish, Swedish, Polish- i'm too old to learn them all, but for speedways sake i should. Alan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 flash gits..two tractors and a water truck.....don't know why the water truck is going around the the dark clouds will have that covered.. Water truck always goes round even when it doesn't water the track.It packs the shale down..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonbee48 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Obviously i hope he is going to be okay. If not, that really screws both Smederna and Coventry's season. Not that i think the Bees are serious contenders with the long tail they opted for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) It certainly does bring home the very real dangers lurking during every second of a speedway race. Some might watch and think they have settled into their places and will in effect 'ride' around until the end of the race. However at the speeds they are going it only takes a seconds worth of lack of concentration, catching a rut or hole in the track at the wrong angle, or a part of the bike failing suddenly and then the damaging speed they are going at shows up in it's violent hurling around of a human body that can't do much to protect itself.

brandonbee48 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Paul, why you can never pay these guys enough. Heroes every one of them. I had a go once- scared me xhitless. That was enough to consign me to the terraces for the rest of my days. Alan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMungo Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Yeah, Larsen had to go to hospital, or they had to wait for an ambulance. Outrup is not particulary close to any hospital, so it takes time. Claes Nedermark said that Larsen also has an arm injury, but they don't know if it's broken or not. Ambulance is on the way back from Esbjerg hospital now. Larsen withdrawn, and Raun replaces him in the rest of his rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
