The meeting began with what was probably the worst ever crash in the WTC, when all four riders crashed on the first bend of the first race. It was no more that a racing accident, not caused by the track or the fence. But all 4 - Cross, Gundersen, Nilsen, and King - went to hospital and were unable to take any further part in the meeting. For one, Erik Gundersen, his racing career was over. | ||||||||
