TTT Posted Sunday at 06:28 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 06:28 PM Makes me feel sick just reading it, My best wishes go out to Tai and everyone associated with him and I pray that we hear some sort of positive news on Monday instead of hearing something that nobody wants to hear. Unofficially, it is known that the speedway rider suffered many fractures. Injuries to both arms, both legs and broken ribs are suspected. After the fall, he was given strong anesthetics. An official announcement on Tai Woffinden's health is expected on Monday. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedball Posted Sunday at 06:43 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 06:43 PM (edited) Best wishes to Tai, horrible news. Went to his winter tour at Lynn and you can tell he was really determined to not only get over his elbow injury, but to regain his place in the GP’s. was looking forward to seeing how his return would go and now it’s over before he’s had a real crack at it.

spin king junior Posted Sunday at 06:59 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 06:59 PM Absolutely devastated for Tai. Really seemed keen to push on this season after a rough one last. A rider that really took to Owlerton like a duck to water and could rely on to give 100%. Can only wish woffy all the best in his recovery and hope it's as pain free as possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted Sunday at 07:39 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 07:39 PM Horrible crash with no opportunity to get away from the bike. All the best to Tai, I was really looking forward to him giving Jason and Emil a real test around Foxhall this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted Sunday at 08:52 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 08:52 PM Best wishes to Woffy. An absolute hero & has been the rider to drive British Speedway forward. Without him, we wouldn't be winning / reaching finals on the world stage. He's been the driving force to make TeamGB a professional outfit. A True Great British Speedway legend. Hope he & his family get all the support needed 🙏🏻❤️ 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

British Speedway takes a fair amount of criticism including the state/condition of certain tracks etc but as you say, most of the bad accidents happen in Poland. Chasing the dollar and under pressure to perform on big fast tracks. Also seem to be a lot of inexperienced young riders on rocket ships too eager to mix it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted yesterday at 09:44 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 09:44 AM (edited) There will be no official announcement on the health of the world champion. Here's the reason On Monday, official information was to appear on the health of Tai Woffinden, who had a serious accident on the track in Krosno. However, it turns out that the fans will have to be patient. Let us remind you that the three-time individual world champion had a serious accident during Sunday's sparring, which was held on the track in Krosno. At the entrance to the first corner of the seventh race it was very tight. Tai Woffinden, Bartosz Banbor and Franciszek Majewski got stuck with their motorcycles and fell on the track. The juniors eventually returned to the car park on their own, but the Briton suffered a lot. He fell under an inflatable berm and was hit hard by one of the motorcycles. Initially, the medical services had a big problem to get him out from under the gang. Then he was treated on the track for a very long time. The player was initially transferred on a stretcher to an ambulance, and then he was taken to a helicopter of the Air Rescue Service from Sanok, which landed on the pitch of the stadium and transported him to a hospital in Rzeszów. Woffinden is currently undergoing detailed examinations there. The first unofficial information from people present in the machine park said that the rider of the Rzeszów team suffered many fractures. Injuries to both arms, both legs and broken ribs were suspected. As we have established, some of them have already been confirmed. After the fall, Woffinden was in great pain and was therefore given strong anesthetics. So far, the club from Rzeszów has not provided official information about the health of the former world champion. He limited himself to a short statement, confirming that initial diagnoses speak of numerous fractures. The residents of Rzeszów also assured that detailed information will appear on Monday after the tests. Now, however, it turns out that the club cannot give them to the fans, which is due to legal reasons. - We ask for your understanding. Due to medical confidentiality, we cannot provide information about Tai's health. As soon as we receive permission to do so, we will provide all the details to the public - one of the Stal activists tells us. Let us add that such permission can only be granted to the club by the player or his immediate family. Unofficially, we know that Stal is already in contact with Faye Woffinden. As we have agreed, the wife of the British speedway rider is to appear in Rzeszów in the near future. Currently, all the details are being determined, and Stal activists are doing everything to provide them with the best possible conditions in this difficult situation. Let's remind you that Tai Woffinden has just returned to speedway after a serious injury from last year, which was a broken elbow. In his history, the 34-year-old has won three individual world championship titles - in 2013, 2015 and 2018. After many years spent at Betard Sparta Wroclaw, where he was an icon of the club and a fan favorite, he decided to move to ZKS Stal Rzeszow, where he wanted to rebuild his form in the 2025 season.

It would have been sensible to change fatal to serious- those who post should take some responsibility !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
