Terry 1,319 Posted August 31, 2013 It seems we're not going to get the exciting battle for the championship with Emils injury tonight. A great shame but well done Tai, world champion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillipsr 2,057 Posted September 1, 2013 Think Emil will ride if he can. Honestly think Tai would like him to ride aswell cant imagine its how he wanted to win it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,069 Posted September 1, 2013 It seems we're not going to get the exciting battle for the championship with Emils injury tonight. A great shame but well done Tai, world champion. Nicki Pedersen showed earlier in the year that you can ride with a broken arm,we`ll have to wait to see how they treat it and the nature of the break.It would be a huge shame should Sayfudinov not be able to contest the rest of the GP series.

Bavarian 768 Posted September 1, 2013 Not quite, gentlemen. I have it from Denis Sayfutdinov, Emil's brother, that most probably NOTHING is broken. Fingers crossed. Emil has a dislocation with his elbow, and he as some probems with the knee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bream 29 Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) It is a miracle if he doesnt have a broken bone after that crash! I hope he is ok and able to ride rest of the GPs. Edited September 1, 2013 by Bream Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,710 Posted September 1, 2013 The hyper extension of his right leg looked horrible - there is bound to be some ligament damage at best. Hope it is not as bad as first reported. Most would want Tai to win the title but not because of something like this. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most would want Tai to win the title but not because of something like this. The crash was horrific. find it incredible that he got off so lightly, but yes, nobody wants a title decided by injury..

5 FURROW 97 Posted September 1, 2013 It seems we're not going to get the exciting battle for the championship with Emils injury tonight. A great shame but well done Tai, world champion. Absolute BULL how can you say that with 5 weeks to go 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fullbore 129 Posted September 1, 2013 There are only 3 rounds left. If Emil can't race then where do you se any challenge coming from given Tai's consistent scoring this year? Niamh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bavarian 768 Posted September 1, 2013 Even if he has no broken bones, which is still not officially confirmed, he will certainly feel the effects of such a horrible accident. This crash will cost him the world title this year, and the European title, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 1,497 Posted September 1, 2013 what a shame for the rider and GP title race. hope Emil is not too bad and able to race. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Doctor... 1,478 Posted September 1, 2013 Absolute BULL how can you say that with 5 weeks to go Blimey calm down. There's only 3 Gp's left so it's understandable how some people could say it's pretty much all over. For Hampel or even Pedersen to make up 20+ points in 3 rounds is pretty unlikely. Shame really. Not a fan of Woffinden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
