Ghostwalker Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) I just read the tweet from Czech Speedway which says: Czech Speedway @CzechSpeedway Massive crash in #divisov Helicopter coming for Andrej Karpov, suspected serious back or/and internal injuries. #czechspeedway #Karpov https://twitter.com/CzechSpeedway/status/523457201722376192 Sounds horrible and I really hope that the suspicions are wrong.

pandorum Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Hope he recovers as he is one entertaining rider. Sad but part of this dangerous but exhilarating sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I've been told that he is expected to require about 3 months to recover from his injuries. Obviously a very tough situation for him but on the other hand it could have been worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squibby Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Great to hear that Andrej is expected to make a good recovery, even if it is going to be a hard slog to get there. I first saw him ride in the Lubos Tomicek Memorial line-up a few years back now, and he was in one of the best races I've ever seen. He had a four lap battle with Gino Franchetti that was all elbows and legs and everything, a real old-fashioned speedway race, and he beat Gino by half a wheel. And that was only for second place in the heat !! Best wishes Andrej. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
