SHEFFIELD SPEEDWAY STATEMENT: TAI WOFFINDEN

AS you are most likely aware, Sheffield racer Tai Woffinden was involved in a crash whilst racing in Poland on Sunday.

Whilst we understand the concern for Tai’s health and wellbeing, Sheffield Speedway will not be going into any further detail at this stage.

We are in constant communication with his family – who have confirmed that reports in the Polish media have gone out without their permission or approval.

Members of Tai’s family will be flying to the hospital later on Monday evening, where he is currently being treated, and will provide the club with a full update as and when they have learned the full facts and when they are comfortable in doing so.

Sheffield Speedway once again politely asks supporters not to respond to rumours out of respect to Tai and his family.
