INJURED speedway rider Matt Read is set to be flown back to England to continue his recovery after a horror smash in France.

The 25-year-old Somerset Rebels man will be moved to a high dependency unit in Odstock Hospital in Salisbury, just ten miles from his home.

Matt, who is based in Hampshire, was riding in the World Longtrack Grand Prix series in Morizes when he was involved in a crash with two other riders.
