Christian Weber writes : Two riders represented each nation, but the second German rider, local ace Willy Brand had a fall in an earlier race with Spencer Stratton. While Stratton recovered and rode on with a shoulder injury, Brand was taken to the hospital with a broken upper arm, and therefore could not take part in the team event. That left Herbert Drews as a German one-man-team, who had to ride in all three heats and did score a match winning 9 point maximum. Spencer 'Smokey' Stratton did ride for England, but with his injured shoulder from that collision with Brand, failed to score as he crashed a further two times in the international team event.
