The Doctor... 1,478 Posted July 25, 2009 Apparently serious head injury for Zabik... Hope it's not as bad as feared! Yeh looked a terrible one for him. Seemed to travel a long way with the bike bashing him all over too. Couldnt really see exactly how Balinski came off as the cameras kept showing replays from some weird angles that kinda didnt show exactly what how he hit the fence or if the bike hit at all. An excellent nights racing apart from that i thought. The 20 heat formula did my head in a little bit at the end tho - a grand final with the top 4 would have been the perfect finale for me, but i guess the result was the right one in the end.

Drew 0 Posted July 25, 2009 Looked a nasty one from the link. Was that in real time or edited as the medics got both riders into the ambulances in very quick time which must indicate the seriousness of the injuries they suffered? Which rider is now conscious? Best Wishes to both riders on making a full recovery as soon as possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gooner_girl4eva 0 Posted July 25, 2009 Just watched Zabik's crash, looked awful - really hope he will be ok and make a full recovery... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mateusz 0 Posted July 25, 2009 Have just got back from Torun... What a night it was for such a hardcore fan of Gollob & Bydgoszcz like me ! A great experience to watch Tomek doing this again, this time in the old enemy's territory Remarkable happenings in the end - Gollob applauded by the locals when on his way to the rostrum (shock!) and Torun's hero Miedzinski booed heavily by them after beating Jagus in heat 19 Zabik/Balinski crash looked horrible and it was really 'unnecessary' - they were both fighting for nothing at that point ... Hope they'll recover quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hazzman 72 Posted July 26, 2009 Isn't that the second time Zabik's been in a nasty incident with Balinski? I can think of three awful crashes Karol's had in the past few years. Speedy recovery to the pair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
