    Extremely unlikely unless you can demonstrate that who/whatever caused the crash has been negligent, well beyond what might be simply regarded as an error of judgement in competetive circumstances.

    Hope you make a speedy recovery.

    Ouch! Always fancied a go at a velodrome. Did you use your own (road?) bike or did they lend you a track bike?

    I'd put it down to bad luck. I take it the other guy was a novice too ? So two novices on the track - even with pros you get incidents.
