Twelve months ago, Woffinden was waiting at the starting line hoping for a new beginning after elbow surgery wrecked his 2024 season. A first-corner crash with his teammate left him with a double break in his right leg, broken back, broken shoulder, multiple broken ribs, punctured lung, fractured arm, and extensive blood loss. After a lengthy rehabilitation, he returned to action in Poland on Saturday, scoring 11 points in TŻ Ostrovia's win over Poznan.
Woffinden returns to Krosno, the scene of his accident, this weekend. He said there would be 'no stress' and he would treat the return to Krosno as a milestone. Woffinden said the past two years had been the hardest of his career.
Four months after being discharged from hospital, Woffinden was back on a bike. Woffinden said he would not have been able to make his comeback without the support of his wife, Faye. He also said that ending his 20-year motorsport career had never been a consideration.
Woffinden wants to race again in the UK before the end of his career. Woffinden is Britain's most decorated racer after winning Grand Prix world titles in 2013, 2015 and 2018. He is captain of TŻ Ostrovia in the Polish Speedway 2 Ekstraliga.
Woffinden was surprised when given the captaincy because he had a long history with the club. Woffinden is not fully recovered after the serious crash and is canceling the entire GP season. The exact timeline of his rehabilitation and the current status of his recovery remain unclear.
