Wishful thinking I know I would probably consider Barker - if he’s up for it he can ride the SHOWGROUND very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a boxing match last Saturday and both fighters were knocking lumps out of each other. They weren't wearing a helmet. Speedway is becoming too soft. Hans had a helmet on and is fine. Woke doctors need to stay out of our sport. Edited October 12, 2021 by KeirStarmerFan 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverblue Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 It seems to me that Hans is denying he had concussion and it was only cuts and bruises, the medics on the night and the referee will know the true story so it should be in the referees report.

In a six team league this situation could have been foreseen easily by anyone with half a brain at this end of the season and with the amount of injuries incurred in this sport! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder why he wasnt taken to hospital last night especially if he was knocked out ,no doubt advised to visit A&E asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 I had a bang on the head and missed two rides under orders from the track doctor but then I did some cognitive tests and he let me do my last one. Concussion is very different from just a band on the head. I hope he gets the chance to ride if he wants to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
