*World champion Chris Holder faces a lengthy break from racing as he
prepares to undergo surgery after suffering a fractured left hip, broken
left shoulder and broken right heel at Coventry on Friday.*
The Poole captain was involved in a high-speed spill in heat 15 of
Pirates’ 43-41 defeat to the Bees on Friday, which was abandoned
following his crash.
Holder was unsettled by Coventry’s Grzegorz Zengota and clipped team
mate Darcy Ward’s back wheel on lap two, turn two as Poole chased the
5-1 they needed to snatch a victory at Brandon. Holder straightened up
and ploughed into their air fence.
Scans have confirmed the 25-year-old has suffered a fractured hip and he
will undergo more tests at University Hospital Coventry in the morning,
when he will also have surgery to repair his right heel.
The Sydneysider will now sit out the Monster Energy FIM Speedway World
Cup, where he was due to skipper Australia into Event 1 against Poland,
Russia and Latvia at Czestochowa on July 13. But it is unclear how long
he will be out of action.
Poole team manager Neil Middleditch said: “The operation on the heel
will take place in the morning. I’m not sure what they are going to do
with the hip yet. They’ll have a look at the morning and decide what to
do. The shoulder injury is the same sort of problem as Darcy had. He has
some fractures in his hip and they’ll be looking at that in the morning.
“This is a massive blow for Chris Holder. It’s a great shame after a
tremendous meeting. For it to end on such a sour note is heartbreaking.
It was just an unfortunate speedway accident.
“He’s in good hands at Coventry hospital. They’ve been looking after him
and they’ve been really good.”
