Speedway means flat-out around an oval with no brakes. It's insane, and that's exactly why it thrills you. Woffinden, who took the world title three times in that arena, is now laying down his pen after repeated injuries... Knowing the sport from the inside, I feel the weight of that decision painfully well. The body doesn't lie. All I can say is: well fought.

I wasn't that familiar with speedway before, but this retirement's got me a bit more curious about it now.

Speedway is that unique discipline where riders slide around an oval track on bikes with no brakes.

Even for a 3-time champion, it's a sport where your body is everything, so only the rider themselves can know the right time to retire.
