Three-time world champion Tai Woffinden returns to speedway after a severe crash, showcasing his resilience and determination.






Three-time world champion Tai Woffinden has made a remarkable return to speedway, riding a bike for the first time since a severe crash in Poland earlier this year. The 34-year-old from Scunthorpe was placed in a medically induced coma after hitting a fence during a race in March. In a recent video posted on social media, Woffinden was seen at the Olympic Stadium in Wroclaw, riding around the track, signaling his comeback.
Woffinden shared his thoughts on social media, stating, "The last four months have been the biggest challenge of my life, but like I do with everything, I get knocked down, get straight back up and keep on charging." He also added, "All eyes on 2026," hinting at his future goals in the sport.
The crash, which occurred on March 30, involved Woffinden's Rzeszow teammate and resulted in multiple injuries including a double break in his right leg, a broken back, broken shoulder, multiple broken ribs, a punctured lung, fractured arm, and extensive blood loss. His recovery has been closely followed by fans and the motorsport community.
Woffinden, who is Great Britain's most decorated rider with Grand Prix world titles in 2013, 2015, and 2018, has shown incredible resilience. His return to the track is not just a personal victory but also an inspiration to many in the sports world. The Sheffield Tigers' rider continues to focus on his recovery and future in speedway, with the support of his team and fans worldwide.
