If anyone wants to help sweep then feel free. We don't need an official "sweeping list" or anything. Last week I was sweeping blossom off the banking during the kids races while everyone was hanging around after the warm up (which I didn't do as I was running around unlocking sheds and printing off programmes). There are usually two brooms hanging around by the track gate.
That said, I don't think there's been a particular increase in punctures has there? I had one a few weeks ago in Sunday training - but that was on a knackered old road tyre. Alec had one early in the last race, but he rides to and from the track - I think this was the "mystery" one that had everyone looking down at their wheels and me telling Alex Christians that it was him, and him getting off the track to find out that it wasn't :S !
Either way punctures had nothing to do with the crash - I didn't see it but it sounds like it was just one of those unlucky and rare things that happen in high speed, close proximity racing..
DOV - I noticed the rolled tub on the Anchor, but I assumed that happened as a result of crashing - not as the cause of it (either way that shouldn't happen).
Stelle - GWS obviously. I heard from Max - Like Cooky said he's chipped one of his neck vertebrae, but just needs rest. Not sure about Daniel - will call him tonight. I suspect collarbone/ribs...
