Tai Injured Again

[chunky]

If you haven't heard, Tai was injured again at Ostrow today. His engine exploded and caught fire, causing him to crash. I heard that he had rib/shoulder injuries, but there is a photo of him supposedly with his leg in plaster.

I'm sure more news will be forthcoming, but boy, does he have a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time...

He’s achieved the great goal of being world champ. Last time he got hurt he then should have thought of his family and retired. Perhaps he’s trying to be like gundersen and Jonsson in a wheelchair.

Is Gundo in a wheelchair ? I know he had a horrible crash at Bradford that made walking difficult but last I remember he was mobile on two feet all be it would never be running marathons any more.

From what I've seen he's mobile but only for very short distances. Be can often been seen in the pits of meetings on his 3 wheel scooter painted in his classic white and yellow livery.

I stand to be corrected if he’s not but I’ve only seen him in one.

Another cruel truth of the risks these guys take for our entertainment Gundo and Per Jonson absolute top drawer riders in their day, Leigh Adams even more cruely as he had left the sport when his accident happened, plus Darcy the one rider who could have maybe stopped Bartoz.

They do NOT take risks for our entertainment. They have a job to do, which is racing motorcycles. Which is dangerous. The better they do, the more they get paid, and therefore, they take risks. It has nothing to do with entertaining us.
