Woffinden's retirement, huh... speedway is a mad sport, sliding flat out around a dirt oval with no brakes. Winning the world title three times at that is no ordinary feat. A decision made after repeated injuries - knowing the reality on the ground, I feel the weight of that painfully. Well done, I want to say.

Is speedway the one where they race around an oval?

Right, it's a sport of racing an oval without brakes, quite dangerous stuff.

Repeated injuries, huh... that sport really puts everything on the line physically.

No brakes at that kind of speed takes a toll on the body, retirement seems like the wise call.
