In a six team league this situation could have been foreseen easily by anyone with half a brain at this end of the season and with the amount of injuries incurred in this sport! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes you wonder why he wasnt taken to hospital last night especially if he was knocked out ,no doubt advised to visit A&E asap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPEEDY69 1,260 Posted October 12, 2021 I had a bang on the head and missed two rides under orders from the track doctor but then I did some cognitive tests and he let me do my last one. Concussion is very different from just a band on the head. I hope he gets the chance to ride if he wants to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hans will want to ride and Peterborough will want him to ride but that doesn't mean he should ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beowulf 1,513 Posted October 12, 2021 1 hour ago, KeirStarmerFan said: I watched a boxing match last Saturday and both fighters were knocking lumps out of each other. They weren't wearing a helmet. Speedway is becoming too soft. Hans had a helmet on and is fine. Woke doctors need to stay out of our sport. I didn't think it possible it was possible for you to get any more more ridiculous than you are already, by my goodness you've achieved it. I hope Hans is fit to ride but, if is there any hint of concussion, then for his own good he shouldn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andersen It's Belle Vue's to lose now against a severely depleted P'boro. Lady Luck has smiled on Belle Vue and surely someone other than Bewdlay and Worrall will turn up and score some points for the Aces to win the p-off. I said previously i thought our inability to dominate teams at home would cost us, Peterborough have had some bad luck but are still capable of covering at home, they are a solid side and theres no substitute for experience, we are more convincing away just hope its another great night of racing.
