Mntboy Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 Concrete trackHector 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.Thank you Gents. Much appreciated.
Mntboy Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 Christina Vogel is in a wheelchair because of a track crash.Aware of that. My initial comment should be read as a 'tongue in cheek' one. Any racing, or riding, can lead to accidents. No such thing as guaranteed safety.
SwissVan Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 HNP wouldn't splinter if you hit it with a backactor. Safe and fun in the South.A whatsegoed?
Dirkitech Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 And here I thought track cycling is meant to be safe and fun!From what I've seen and heard, I think track cycling crashes are brutal. I've had my fair share of whipes going 40kmh and sliding over tarmac, but track crashing... I'd rather fall in the road away from cars or on the mountain, before the track. To each their own I suppose and any discipline can be lethal or fatal. And that piece of wood seems to look similar in colour to what looks like timber skirting in the background? Perhaps a section of skirting was struck by the bike, flipping up from leverage and then savagely poked Lorenzo? gnarly...
Patchelicious Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 Track cycling is very dangerous, especially when Cavendish is riding.
Andrew Steer Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 It's just a splinter they said...Hope he heals up
V18 Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 Nevermind lung. I'm sure his diaphragm took shots. You can do pretty well with part lung missing. Not so sure about diaphragm tears. Always a weak spot. Even if repaired.
Jewbacca Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 While this is up, where are the Capies going to ride after they tear down the Belville Velodrome next year?
