Think by the look of it the tyre could have burst or popped off the rim if he was using the tubeless system these are running I think about 120psi to hold the tyre onto the rim before you put the tyre pressure into them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before making a good gate and leading for 3 laps before what seemed to be a nasty off. Could’ve been 6/6 but instead on way to hospital. Rib and back pain is being mentioned. PS it was announced at the end of meeting presentations that Fraser had texted from Poole Hospital that injuries did not appear as bad as first thought! PPS Danny Ford apologised for the track conditions this evening - they put too much shale down and then overwatered.

Pity the track team didn't spot/sort the bump on turn one sooner, or even before the meeting started. Various riders including Lawson had issues before Fraser. Prior to the off Bowes was showing his doubters (mainly it seems from Workington) what he is capable of. I can see the potential, even if they can't, here's to a speedy recovery. Good well deserved result, Master's really is far more flaky than the hype suggests, fast if he gates sure but doesn't like to mix it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowes may have potential but had an attitude problem at worky last year. Which the fans and the management did not like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago Fraser reports a punctured lung, blood on the lung and back spasms. Such a shame when he was going well on the 'new' engine. Get well soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shape of the tracks determine whether "putting dirt down" works or not... The more circular ones benefit from it, the more "oval" ones ride easier when slick and smooth, especially given the way riders go in to the bends already virtually full on sideways, and full gas, these days...

What this statement ? It was like a ploughed field. “It has been a really challenging evening and I just want to say thank you so much to everyone. I’m really, really sorry for tonight. I’m so disappointed in what we put out there in terms of the track preparation. No excuses — we will put our hands up — we absolutely got it wrong. Full credit to the riders for doing what they could in racing in those conditions. Of course, we are sending our messages of support to Fraser, but yes, we are just really sorry and would ask you all to stick with us. We are going to get it sorted.” Edited 3 hours ago by Toady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
