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. (3 rider races, heat scoring 3-2-1) Heat 1: Drews, Clausen, Stratton (fell): Time: 93.2 sec. (64.37 kph) Heat 2: Drews, Clausen, Stratton (fell); Time: 103.3 sec. Heat 3: Drews, Hoyer, Plevin; Time: 98.2 sec. |
