Ipswich's Jake Nicholls is refusing to give up on competing again this season, despite dislocating a hip during a recent World Championship, external race in Italy.

The 27-year-old's described the incident, which led to his injury, as "bizarre" after his foot got stuck in some mud while turning a corner.

"They're a little bit vague on the recovery time because the injury is so different," Nicholls told BBC Suffolk Sport. "I haven't got any breaks in the hip which is good."

"They've said it'll be three months before I can have real impact through the hip. Taking it from that, perhaps I'll be lucky to get back on a bike in three months which will mean four months before I can race."
