Speedway star Tai Woffinden has withdrawn from the entire GP season. The British rider crashed severely in a race in Poland a year ago. He lost three liters of blood in the crash and suffered over 15 fractures, a crushed right elbow, and a punctured lung.
He was kept sedated for two weeks. Woffinden is not fully recovered from the crash. He has been given a wild card for the GP series but has decided to return to competition step by step.
I know the level required to compete at the highest level in GP and my focus is on building momentum to return to that level.
Woffinden wrote on Instagram that he knows the level required to compete at the highest level in GP and his focus is on building momentum to return to that level. He has switched Swedish clubs from Västervik to Dackarna, but it is unclear when he can debut for his new club. Dackarna's Ukrainian rider Nazar Parnicki will instead get the chance to compete in GP.
