Track racing is aggressive and crashes are common, but rarely serious. One of the worst in recent Australian racing was Craig Milton's now legendary spill in Launceston in 1985. Milton went down when a tyre blew out on him, and as he landed his pedal dug up a splinter of the then-new track surface. A 33cm long, 1cm wide spike entered his torso just under the armpit, puncturing his lung and stopping 1cm from his heart. The spike had to be broken off the track surface so Milton could be removed and he spent 8 hours under the knife as surgeons pulled bits of wood out of the wound. Milton got back on the bike a week later to win the Australian 10 mile and team pursuit championships. His effort in the team pursuit tore open the stitches and he finished the event with his blue NSW track squad strip dyed red, and had to immediately return to hospital. The spike is on display in his bike shop in Cronulla.

what a poofter ! seriously, needs to HTFOTP

If he was a sprinter he would've ripped it out of his chest with his teeth and then stabbed the other rider to death with it.

yeah, or if he was a Ninja, he would have ripped up the whole velodrome with his cock, then killed everyone in the whole town.

just for the fuck of it

Then jumped backwards onto a rooftop.. don't forget the backwards jump onto a rooftop!!!

strewth (only Aussies say that)

Sounds like he did the whole python act ..... Its only a flesh wound
