This is actually quite unbelievable, Lorenzo Gobbo crashed on the track and was impaled by a piece of wood, he's okay, punctured lung, but ok.

That is an amazingly lucky escape - but his lung won't be the same again.

 

One wonders where that piece of wood came from - hope it's not just a poorly maintained track.

And here I thought track cycling is meant to be safe and fun!

That's a good question.

HNP wouldn't splinter if you hit it with a backactor. Safe and fun in the South.

One of those injuries where you'd rather just have passed out and be told about it afterwards by a pretty nurse.

 

Lucky is not South Africa then. Best is you'd be informed by Pretty, the nurse.

Or your next of kin would be informed by Lucky the coroner's assistant....

Excuse my ignorance but would you mind explaining your post. As I am clueless with regards to track cycling lingo.

Hector Norris Park (HNP) is a cycling track in the south of Joburg. It's an outdoor track and therefore is not wooden but rather made of concrete.
