2023 SGP standings

Great Britain racer Dan Bewley is determined to end his 2023 FIM Speedway Grand Prix season in style as he goes for DeWalt FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Torun victory this Saturday.The Cumbrian heads to the Marian Rose Motoarena placed fifth in the Speedway GP standings on 98 points – three ahead of seventh-placed Danish star Leon Madsen in the battle for the top-six automatic qualification spots for the 2024 series.While the stakes are high as Bewley bids to book a Speedway GP berth for the third straight season, the Belle Vue rider isn’t focusing on the qualification battle.He has Torun victory in his sights as he bids to add to his Holmgrens Bil FIM Swedish Speedway GP triumph and end 2023 on top of the podium.He said: “Fifth place going into Torun is good. I will try and finish with a win. I am not really thinking about the top six, to be honest.&nbsp; I just need to have a good round in Torun and finish the season off with a good one.&nbsp;“Torun is a pretty good track. I have been there a couple of times, and it can be good. It depends how they prep it, but it’s a pretty iconic venue.”

BEWLEY SEEKS TORUN TRIUMPH

German racer Kai Huckenbeck has been handed a late call-up for the DeWalt FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Torun after Great Britain star Tai Woffinden officially withdrew due to injury.Woffinden made a very early comeback from a broken hand in Wroclaw’s PGE Ekstraliga play-off final decider at home to Lublin last Sunday.But following a further crash at the Olympic Stadium, Woffinden is unable to line up at the Marian Rose Motoarena.His absence hands a golden opportunity to Huckenbeck, who makes his third Speedway GP appearance of 2023.&nbsp;He stepped into the line-up for the DeluxeHomeart FIM Speedway GP of Denmark – Vojens, scoring five points. He also registered one as Wölk FIM German Speedway GP wild card in Teterow.Woffinden follows Polish star Maciej Janowski and Denmark’s Anders Thomsen in withdrawing from the Torun event, with Latvia’s Andzejs Lebedevs and Czech racer Jan Kvech replacing them.

HUCKENBECK TAKES WOFFINDEN'S PLACE IN TORUN

Speedway GP substitute Jan Kvech hopes to inspire more Czech youngsters to take up the sport as he bids to become Czech Republic’s first full-time Speedway GP rider since 2008.Kvech has been called up for the DeWalt FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Torun this Saturday, replacing Danish star Anders Thomsen, who is nursing a broken hand, suffered at the OlyBet FIM Speedway GP of Latvia – Riga on August 12.It’s a golden opportunity for the 2022 FIM SGP2 and SON2 silver medallist to gain more experience on the Speedway GP stage, especially as he could race every round in 2024.Kvech finished fifth at the FIM GP Challenge in Gislaved, Sweden on August 19 – two places short of qualifying for the 2024 Speedway GP series.However, if Challenge runner-up Vaculik scores at least three championship points in Torun, he is certain of a top-six finish in the 2023 Speedway GP World Championship and automatic qualification for next year, meaning the SGP 2024 place he earned in Gislaved passes to GB star Robert Lambert, who was fourth in Sweden.&nbsp;But if Lambert holds on to sixth spot in the Speedway GP standings and also qualifies automatically for 2024, or Challenge winner Jason Doyle leaps from eighth place into the SGP top six, then a qualification spot passes to Kvech – regardless of his score on Saturday.Kvech would become the first Czech rider to race a full Speedway GP series since Lukas Dryml in 2008, and it’s a chance the Prague rider would relish. He said: “We will see what happens now. What will be, will be – I will wait. If I am in the Grand Prix, I will be very happy. I want to be in the Grand Prix.“If I can be in Speedway GP, it would be good for Czech speedway because maybe more young riders will be interested in the sport. I want to be in there and be fast for Czech Republic.“Am I ready? I think yes. Being a Speedway GP rider will be good for me for the future, and I want to be there.”

CZECH STAR KVECH: CHANCE TO INSPIRE IN SPEEDWAY GP?

Danish racer Rasmus Jensen starred on 10 paid 13 points for delighted Dackarna as they clinched their second Bauhaus Elitserien title in three years with a hard-fought 46-44 victory over Vastervik in Malilla on Tuesday.Having won the first leg 47-43, Dackarna will have fancied the chances of seeing off their near neighbours on home shale.But they were given a considerable fight as Speedway GP World Championship contender Fredrik Lindgren warmed up for the biggest night of his career so far at the DeWalt FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Torun this Saturday by scoring 13 paid 15 points from six races for Vastervik.He was well supported by double Swedish champion Jacob Thorssell, who tallied 12, and triple European champion Mikkel Michelsen, who notched nine.But a rock-solid team performance from Dackarna won them the crown 93-87 on aggregate with Jensen leading the way. Former Aussie champion Brady Kurtz tallied 10 and Latvian ace Andzejs Lebedevs notched nine paid 11.Last-minute signing Leon Madsen – replacing the injured Maciej Janowski – scored nine and his Speedway GP rival Dan Bewley added six paid eight.After ending their 14-year wait for a league title in 2021, the FIM Speedway GP of Sweden – Malilla host club regained their status as Sweden’s top team.

FIM SPEEDWAY STARS OF THE CENTURY | TONY RICKARDSSON

Great Britain racer Robert Lambert has the DeWalt FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Torun podium in his sights this Saturday as he closes in on 2024 SGP qualification.The King’s Lynn racer finished fourth in the DeluxeHomeart FIM Speedway GP of Denmark – Vojens on September 16, with winner Leon Madsen, Fredrik Lindgren in second and Jack Holder in third place pipping him to the podium.But Lambert’s result saw him move up to sixth spot in the standings on 97 points, meaning he occupies the sixth and final automatic qualification place for the 2024 Speedway GP series.While Madsen is just two behind in seventh spot on 95, Lambert is guaranteed to qualify for 2024 if Slovak star Martin Vaculik, who finished second in the FIM GP Challenge, remains in the top six – as Lambert was fourth at the qualifying round in Gislaved, Sweden on August 19.With Vaculik just three championship points away from being certain of a top-six finish and qualification for the Brit highly likely, Lambert is focusing on ending 2023 with a big result on his Polish home track.Chasing his first Speedway GP win in front of a packed Marian Rose Motoarena, a determined Lambert said: “Torun is a track I know well, and I am looking forward to getting there and seeing what I can do. As long as Martin stays in the top six, my place is pretty secure.“There’s no pressure, but at the same time, it would be good to finish with a podium in Torun. There will be a lot of home fans there and a lot of Brits also travel to Torun for the weekend. It’s always a great event. I’ll be doing what I can to succeed in Torun.”Lambert’s hopes of winning a Speedway GP World Championship medal are all but over for 2023, but he has still reached seven semi-finals in nine rounds – a very consistent run of form that he’s determined to build on next season.The Polish-based racer, who was fifth in the 2022 championship, said: “The goal at the beginning of the season was to get a medal. That looks a little hard to get at the moment, but I need to take all the positives away from this.&nbsp;“This season has been consistent, but not as consistent at such a high level. I wanted to be getting to more finals. We have been making the semis, but not getting any further.“There are a lot of positives to take from the year, but at the same time, we have a few more things to try and improve on and we will try to better ourselves for the following year. It will come to a stage where things click into place and start working. We just need to ride it out until that time comes.”

LAMBERT EYES CHAMPAGNE FINISH IN TORUN

DeWalt FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Torun wild card Dominik Kubera stormed to 11 paid 12 points for Lublin as they retained their PGE Ekstraliga championship with a resounding 55-35 win in Wroclaw on Sunday.After winning their first top-flight title in 2022, Lublin made it two in a row as Kubera reeled off a four-ride maximum, while former world No.2 Jaroslaw Hampel racked up 10 paid 11.Triple world champion Bartosz Zmarzlik notched nine ahead of his Speedway GP title showdown in Torun this Saturday, while championship rival Fredrik Lindgren scored five. Bronze medal contender Jack Holder recorded nine as his side grabbed the gold medals 106-74 on aggregate.Posting on X, formerly known as Twitter, Zmarzlik was elated with a landmark title win. He posted: “WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF POLAND!! For me, this is the first Polish team championship gold medal in my senior career. Many thanks for the whole season. Your cheering led us to great things.”&nbsp;Wroclaw went into the title decider without local hero Maciej Janowski, who is still nursing a broken ankle, but Britain’s triple world champion Tai Woffinden made a shock comeback – three weeks after suffering a broken hand in the FIM Speedway GP of Great Britain – Cardiff on September 2.Woffinden made no secret of the fact he should not be racing ahead of the meeting, but his comeback appeared to be going to plan when he defeated Lublin duo Jaroslaw Hampel and Fredrik Lindgren in heat one.Disaster struck, though, in heat seven, when Woffinden caught Lublin junior Bartosz Banbor’s back wheel on the back straight and fell. He was unable to continue, ending his evening on four paid five points, and his absence took its toll on Wroclaw.Polish star Piotr Pawlicki scored 10 paid 12 points for the hosts, with Speedway GP star Dan Bewley notching nine.In the day’s other match, Torun ended their PGE Ekstraliga season on a high by clinching the bronze medals. Despite Czestochowa winning the third-place play-off, second leg 46-44 on the afternoon, Torun triumphed 94-86 on aggregate.Former world No.3 Emil Sayfutdinov topped the Torun score chart on 10 paid 11, while Great Britain star Robert Lambert added a straight 10. His Speedway GP rival Patryk Dudek notched nine paid 10, with Polish racer Wiktor Lampart adding eight paid nine.Danish star Mikkel Michelsen followed up his third Speedway European Championship win in Pardubice on Friday night by leading the Czestochowa scoring on 12 paid 13.Double World Under-21 champion Maksym Drabik registered nine paid 10, with 2021 World Under-21 champion Jakub Miskowiak adding eight paid nine and world No.2 Leon Madsen scoring seven paid eight points.Elsewhere on Sunday, Finnish ace Timo Lahti celebrated victory in the famous Pardubice Golden Helmet event, winning the six-rider final ahead of Polish star Jakub Jamrog, French racer Dimitri Berge, Denmark’s Andreas Lyager, Italian rider Nicolas Covatti and Speedway GP star Jason Doyle.

EKSTRALIGA | KUBERA LEADS LUBLIN TO SECOND STRAIGHT TITLE TRIUMPH

Latvian ace Andzejs Lebedevs will sign off his FIM Speedway Grand Prix season in Torun as he steps in for injured Polish star Maciej Janowski next Saturday.The 2022 Speedway GP bronze medallist has officially withdrawn from the DeWalt FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Torun as he continues his recovery from the broken ankle that he suffered in Wroclaw’s PGE Ekstraliga play-off semi-final decider at home to Torun on September 10.Janowski is currently 14th in the Speedway GP standings on 43 points and must now wait and hope for a permanent wild card from the SGP Commission if he is to extend his stay in the series into a 10th consecutive season.Meanwhile, his absence hands Speedway GP first substitute rider Lebedevs the chance to race in a fifth straight round.The Daugavpils-born racer is yet to reach a semi-final so far this season but stormed into the last eight at the 2022 FIM Torun Speedway GP, scoring 10 championship points.With Lebedevs also chasing a Speedway GP permanent wild card, he will be hoping to impress with another big finish to the season at the Marian Rose Motoarena.

LEBEDEVS REPLACES JANOWSKI FOR TORUN FINALE

Danish racer Mikkel Michelsen has guaranteed his place in the 2024 FIM Speedway Grand Prix series after securing his third Speedway European Championship in Pardubice.The 2019 and 2021 SEC winner regained the crown after scoring eight points from his opening three rides at the final round in the Czech Republic, which was curtailed after 16 heats due to heavy rain.With 2022 champion Leon Madsen finishing fourth in his opening ride, Michelsen’s victory in heat 11 meant he had done enough to be certain of becoming the first triple European champion of the 21st century, as well as earning a spot in the 2024 Speedway GP series.Michelsen topped the podium on 52 points, with Madsen taking the silver medal on 44. The world No.2 reeled off three wins from his final three rides to take third place in the meeting on nine points, overhauling Michelsen in his final outing to make the Pardubice podium on countback.The event was won by Poland’s Janusz Kolodziej on 11 points as he secured the bronze medal overall on 42, despite missing the opening round in Czestochowa due to injury.Poland’s Patryk Dudek scored six points on the night to end up fourth overall on 33 – level with Latvian ace Andzejs Lebedevs in fifth, who scored five this evening.&nbsp;Both riders did enough to secure the top-five finish needed to guarantee their SEC spots for 2024, joining Michelsen, Madsen and Kolodziej in gaining automatic qualification.DeWalt FIM Torun Speedway GP wild card Dominik Kubera finished second in the Pardubice round on 10 points.&nbsp;But having sat out the opening round in Czestochowa following his crash in Orlen FIM Warsaw Speedway GP Qualifying Practice on May 12, he narrowly missed the top-five cut on 30 - along with Germany's Kai Huckenbeck in seventh, who also ended on 30.FINAL SPEEDWAY EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP STANDINGS: 1 Mikkel Michelsen 52, 2 Leon Madsen 44, 3 Janusz Kołodziej 42, 4 Patryk Dudek 33, 5 Andzejs Lebedevs 33, 6 Dominik Kubera 30, 7 Kai Huckenbeck 30, 8 Kacper Woryna 27, 9 Antonio Lindback 25, 10 Dimitri Berge 24, 11 Adam Ellis 22, 12 Andreas Lyager 20, 13 Szymon Woźniak 18, 14 Vaclav Milik 16, 15 Grzegorz Zengota 16, 16 Jan Kvech 13, 17 Niels-Kristian Iversen 9, 18 Maksym Drabik 9, 19 Timo Lahti 5, 20 Norick Blodorn 3, 21 Petr Chlupac 1, 22 Kacper Pludra 1.PARDUBICE SCORES: 1.

He stormed to second place on his World Championship debut at FIM Lublin Speedway GP round five on August 6, 2021, before following up with third place in round six, part two of the double-header, 24 hours later.&nbsp;Kubera’s last Speedway GP appearance saw him reach the FIM Swedish Speedway GP semi-finals in Malilla on August 14, 2021, finishing with 10 championship points.He lines up in Torun alongside Lublin teammates Bartosz Zmarzlik, Fredrik Lindgren and Jack Holder, <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/sgp/standings">who will all be battling for medals</a> in what’s set to be an epic final showdown of the season.The line-up for the DeWalt FIM Torun Speedway GP is completed by two of the world’s top under-21 stars, double FIM SGP2 champion Mateusz Cierniak at No.17 and No.18 Bartlomiej Kowalski, who won FIM SGP2 bronze. They will take to the track if any of the main 16 riders are forced out of a race due to injury, illness, a starting offence or other reasons.<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/347710/conversions/kowalski-mcierniak-ratajczak3834-large.jpg"/><a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/news/video-cierniak-clings-on-for-fim-sgp2-title-in-dramatic-vojens-finale">Lublin star&nbsp;Cierniak sealed FIM Speedway Under-21 World Championship gold for the second straight season at legendary Danish track Vojens&nbsp;on September 16 – becoming only the fourth rider in history to win the title twice.</a>He was named as a track reserve for the 2019 FIM Wroclaw Speedway GP, but he did not take a ride – meaning he would make his Speedway GP debut if called into action in Torun.Meanwhile, Wroclaw racer Kowalski will hope to build on reaching the FIM SGP2 rostrum after pipping Australia’s Keynan Rew in the battle for bronze.&nbsp;He has made two previous Speedway GP appearances, most recently replacing Kubera following his Warsaw crash and scoring a very creditable four championship points at PGE Narodowy, where he stormed to a very popular heat win.<a href="https://kstorun.kupbilety.pl/">Tickets for the DeWalt FIM Torun Speedway GP can be purchased online – subject to availability.
