POOLE and Ipswich may have to rethink their team plans after Jack Thomas was hurt in a practice crash at Scunthorpe on Thursday.
The Pirates' winter recruit was one of a number of riders training for the new season at the Eddie Wright Raceway when he took a fall and reported afterwards that he has sustained two broken vertebrae, a broken neck, bruised lungs and broken ribs. Posting on Facebook, Thomas wrote: "Looking like I'm being transferred to Hull this morning to see a neurosurgeon. Fingers crossed getting fixed up, still got feeling."
