This is why Gareth Bale has given up driving Lamborghinis…

Gareth Bale has reportedly packed in his hobby of driving around in supercars because of the damage it does to his hamstrings.

The Real Madrid star was part of an exclusive rental club in the UK which leased him a new vehicle every time he returned to the country.

But Bale, who has occasionally struggled with injuries during his time in Spain, has apparently given up his membership to avoid risking any further niggles with his hamstrings.

A spokesman for the Auto Vivendi Super Car Club told the Daily Mirror: “We can’t comment on what members have told us.”

Bale isn’t the only winger to suffer from hamstring woes, with Ryan Giggs and Damien Duff both blaming injuries on their cars during their playing careers.
