David Knight's injury fears came back to haunt him at the second round of the Grand National Cross-Country Series in the United States.
After riding through the pain to gain a second place at the opening event in Florida, Knighter was forced to pull off the track at The General in Georgia.
His broken hand has not healed quickly enough.....and forced him to retire.
He now has two weeks to recover before the next round - Steele Creek in North Carolina.
