Oxford Cheetahs youngster Lubos Tomicek has discharged himself from hospital after his spectacular crash against Coventry on Wednesday.

The Czech rider pulled an unforced wheelie just before the line in heat 14, and went head first over the handlebars before landing heavily on his shoulder yards over the finishing line.

He is very sore and badly bruised, but despite the hospital wanting to keep him in for the night, he left in the early hours.

Tomicek is hoping to recover in time for the derby clash against Reading on Wednesday.
