Shane on Revival FM
(Posted 29/09/07)

Shane spoke to the guys at Revival FM via the telephone and naturally the first topic that was brought up was his crash last week and its effect.

When asked how much he could remember of the accident Shane basically said when things like that happen you just shut your eyes and hope for the best! He acknowledges he was very lucky to walk away, albeit gingerly, from the accident and is hoping that he can get fit and be back for the end of the season.

However, his wrist is still quite bad and he has problems with his knee especially when turning it one way or another. He is seeing a knee specialist early next week and should have a clearer picture after that.

When asked about his time at Glasgow he confirmed that originally he had expected his first season at Ashfield to be his last in British speedway after becoming disillusioned at the end of 13 years riding Elite league. Shane also said he had a good relationship with the Glasgow promotion and the fans and had enjoyed his four years here. On his high home average, Shane advised that he enjoyed the Ashfield track which in his opinion is one of the best in the league as it gives a few options when it comes to racing lines.

He is naturally disappointed and frustrated to be missing out on the PLRC but is sure that Trent will do well.

When the presenter picked up on the hard work Shane has done for Glasgow speedway in helping to get the Academy idea up and running, taking speedway to the kids, Shane was quick to deflect the praise, advising of all the hard work Gary Condie has put in to get things up and running and co-ordinate events and the help and backing of Fraser from FSM advertising in doing so.
