Tai Woffinden, a three-time world champion at speed, has admitted that he “does not know” whether or not he will play again.
After a serious accident in Poland in March, the 34-year-old from Scunthorpe was put into a medically-induced coma.
On his YouTube channel, Woffinden and his wife Faye spoke about the accident and admitted he had no idea “what the plan is moving forward” or “if I’m going to ride again.”
When Woffinden collided with a teammate and struck a fence behind a protective barrier, the collision took place on March 30.
He suffered a double break in his right leg, a broken back, a broken shoulder, several broken ribs, a punctured lung, a broken arm, and significant blood loss as a result.
He continued, “I was sliding along the track with no fear of hurt.” My femur started to snap. My broken arm prevented me from using either of my hands.
I recall everything from the crash and was completely aware of everything that happened. I suffocated while I was in the helicopter while being airlifted to a hospital.
After winning Grand Prix world titles in 2013, 2015, and 2018, Woffinden, who is the country’s most decorated rider, said he had no idea if he would ride again.
He said, “I have a goal in my head to return as quickly as I can, but I just need to chase it down to concentrate on what I need.”
