What happened to Craig Cook.

Can we leave the arguing about ticket sales till tomorrow and celebrate Team GB being Champions and a great night's speedway.

This is the guy who once aimed for Newcadtle Speedway but only managed to hit Durham.

Stayed pretty much dry all day, very cloudy but dry.

Currently cloudy but dry, romour has the ref has found his glasses and bottle and will be able to make better decisions than he did last night.

Congratulations to Poland.

At the track, it's wet but the rain has just about stopped.

Delighted to report that Tate Zischke was released from hospital today and will be at the track tonight to support Team Australia.

Steady drizzle for the last couple of hours, hopefully this will clear before race time as I've seen enough of the rain for one week

Update from Tate on Facebook. Update After a tough first week I am doing a lot better now. I have been up on my feet doing a little bit of walking. The doctors are very happy with my progress and I hope to be out of hospital by the end of this week. Also another injury added to the list I have torn my Gracilis mussel off my pelvis but they have said it won't need surgery and should heal on its own and be back to normal in a few months. Obviously still in quite a bit of pain but feel like I’m getting stronger every day. When I am released from hospital I will need to come in every 2 days until the doctors are confident we can clean and change the dressings ourselves. Then we come back for the 6 week check up. Hopefully by then I will get the all clear and I will be able to sit on my ass for the 20+ hour flight back home to Australia. Thank you to everyone for your messages and thanks again for those who have come up to visit me. Getting the news there is going to be NO long term damage is a relief … bring on next season. Doctors report 6,7,8,9 left lateral rib fracture - will heal by themselves Fractures of the spine T5 T6 T7 T8 T9 bottom of the rib cage -they are compressed however the ribs will brace them and hold them in place so they would expect they will heal perfectly fine L2 L3 L4 lumber part of the spine wings on the side are broken off - will heal by themselves with time No damage to the spinal cord thankfully Where the Chain adjuster went into his left cheek ( buttocks) -Doctors said you actually got quite lucky it only went through the subcontainious tissues without involving the muscles. The exit wound has been stitched shut The main concern is making sure the large entry wound doesn't get infected as it heals. This will take the longest to heal as we would like it to heal on its own. The latest MR scan of the pelvis showed up a couple of aductor muscles have been torn at the pelvis they are the muscles that bring your legs together these are subtotal (like a very nasty sprain) and they will heal up in time The worrying one or most damage was done to the Gricillus muscle It is torn through and through and totally torn off of the pelvis the TNO surgeon said they won’t operate at this point. They may want to go in and rejoin it but he thinks it’s highly unlikely

Decent enough meeting, especially giving the amount of rain earlier in the day. Glad to see all the riders walk away from their accident, inparicular Thorsell and Melynchuk who seemed to miss the air fence from where I was. And onto today.

Please don't give them the attention the crave, they make quite a successful job in getting people to bite but they are best left ignored.

Rained pretty much all the way, but we are going to get a meeting. Taxi.

You can cross Jason Garrad off the list as he has signed for Glasgow.

The good people of Berwick are sending me to educate the locals, wish me luck.

Travelling from Berwick tomorrow for all four meetings.

Congratulations to Chris Harris who became European Grasstrack Champion last night.

Ridiculous, speedway doesn't deserve Plymouth.

Tough on Tai after his first race win, best wishes to him on a speedy recovery.

So after Ht3 its clear the riders are fighting for second place already.
