Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted July 28, 2014 He didn't have surgery and is hoping it to heal by itself What's even more crazy is he's aiming to ride in the 4s on Sunday. These speedway riders are a different breed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These speedway riders are a different breed So I gather it wasn't as bad as first feared.I thought I read somewhere the top of his finger had actually come off and was in his glove. Well that is good news isn't it.Riders are so brave in this sport of ours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy robin 2,963 Posted July 28, 2014 So I gather it wasn't as bad as first feared.I thought I read somewhere the top of his finger had actually come off and was in his glove. Well that is good news isn't it.Riders are so brave in this sport of ours. Well he'd be definately having surgery if he did do it & if he didn't it isn't very bright to put it on his Twitter page!.

tellboy 3,662 Posted July 28, 2014 Well he'd be definately having surgery if he did do it & if he didn't it isn't very bright to put it on his Twitter page!. Yes,but if it's just the tip maybe it's not worth trying to save and just a stich up required.Alright that is classed as surgery I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would have to be a tiny part not to need surgery but hope he gets back on a bike soon as it will be painful regardless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HadrianDog 291 Posted July 28, 2014 Would have to be a tiny part not to need surgery but hope he gets back on a bike soon as it will be painful regardless. By tip, I think he meant skin only and not bone. What I am hearing up here anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
