Pinny 2,536 Posted August 14, 2018 Very sad news. A good rider on his day, crazy how you can go from scoring 11 points one day to deciding to take your own life the next. must be the 4th or 5th Pole to do so within the last 15 years? RIP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krompa 236 Posted August 14, 2018 Rafal Kurmanski (2004), Robert Dados (2004), Lukasz Romanek (2006), Tomasz Jedrzejak (2018). Hope there is nice prepared track for them up there in heaven. So sad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaggy 61 Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) Tomasz reportedly took his own life last night and was found this morning. Thoughts are with his family, friends and anyone affected by this tragedy. 1979 - 2018 May he keep ripping it up in the sky Edited August 14, 2018 by Shaggy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bartosz Bietracki (2017) although he wasn't an active speedway rider when he took his own life, I believe he retired one or two years earlier. Add Matej Ferjan to the list above and you have a solid team, unfortunately. RIP Ogór Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pinny 2,536 Posted August 14, 2018 Didnt Ferjan have recurring arm or leg injury? I think it was rumoured he had comitted suicide but later confirmed it was a blood clot or something similar 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
