2025 SGP standings

Polish star Patryk Dudek admits racing as a Speedway GP wild card seems to bring out his best form after he picked up third place in the Orlen Oil FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Warsaw last Saturday.Dudek stormed through his last-chance qualifier to reach his first final at PGE Narodowy since 2019, before matching that year’s result with a third place behind Aussie duo Jack Holder and Brady Kurtz.The Torun racer served as a wild card at the 2024 Speedway GP rounds in Wroclaw and Torun, scoring 12 championship points in each and reaching the semi-finals of both events.Racing as a wild card comes without the pressure of being a full member of the Speedway GP line-up and chasing World Championship points. Dudek admits this seems to suit him.He said: “When I finished third in Warsaw in 2019, it was a different feeling because I was racing all of the rounds in Speedway GP. This time, it was just one night, and I don’t know if I will race next time. There wasn’t big pressure for this meeting, so I had big fun.“Last year I had wild cards two times, and my results were not bad. Maybe I must race all rounds as a wild card. It would be better because it isn’t the same pressure as normal.”Dudek could appear later in the series after being named as second series substitute for 2025, meaning he could be called into action if a permanent member of the Speedway GP line-up is unavailable due to injury, illness or other reasons. Denmark’s Leon Madsen is first substitute and will therefore get first call ahead of Dudek.The Bydgoszcz-born man was facing frustration in his quest to get back into Speedway GP after he missed out on SGP qualification at the 2024 FIM SGP Challenge in Pardubice last October.&nbsp;He also couldn’t claim one of Poland’s three places in the Speedway GP qualifiers for the 2026 series at Poland’s Golden Helmet in Opole on April 21. These went to current Speedway GP star Dominik Kubera, double SGP2 champion Mateusz Cierniak and Kacper Woryna.&nbsp;Dudek has, however, received news that he will line up in the Speedway European Championship following Danish champion Anders Thomsen’s withdrawal. This was after the Pole took sixth place in the 2024 SEC series. The top five qualify automatically.The European champion earns a guaranteed spot in Speedway GP for 2026, and it’s a chance Dudek would love to take.He said: “Last year, I fought for a GP place in the Challenge, but it was not my night in Pardubice. I missed out on a place in the qualifiers at the Polish Golden Helmet. But I now have a spot in the Speedway European Championship, and I can fight for that. Let’s see what happens.”

DUDEK: GOING WILD SUITS ME

Swedish star Fredrik Lindgren raced to 13 paid 14 points for Vastervik as they collected a 53-37 victory away to Vargarna in the Bauhaus Elitserien on Tuesday.The world No.3 won four of his five races as the visitors triumphed, with his Speedway GP rival Robert Lambert also dropping just one point to an opponent. He collected 12 paid 14. Polish racer Bartosz Smektala scored nine paid 10 points, while double Swedish champion Jacob Thorssell registered a straight nine.Former World Under-21 champion Jakub Miskowiak topped the Vargarna scoring on 13, with Niels-Kristian Iversen adding 10.Double World Under-21 champion Maksym Drabik starred on 13 paid 14 points for Smederna as they claimed a 46-44 win away to Dackarna.Drabik joined Gleb Chugunov for a vital 3-3 in the final race to ensure the Eskilstuna outfit held on for victory. Danish star Leon Madsen collected 12 for the visitors, with Chugunov adding nine paid 11 and Norway’s Mathias Pollestad scoring six paid eight.Denmark’s Frederik Jakobsen topped the Dackarna score chart on 10 paid 11 points, with Tomas H Jonasson and Rasmus Jensen both bagging eight paid 10 points.Former SGP2 bronze medallist Bartlomiej Kowalski collected 13 points for Indianerna as they won 51-39 at home to Rospiggarna.Former Speedway GP star Szymon Wozniak picked up 10 paid 11 points, with Warsaw wild card Patryk Dudek scoring a straight 10. American international Luke Becker added eight paid nine.Rospiggarna’s scoring was led by 11 points from former Speedway GP world champion Artem Laguta, with Vadim Tarasenko notching nine.In the day’s other meeting, former SGP2 rider Casper Henriksson scored nine paid 11 points for Lejonen as they won a shortened match 40-19 away to Piraterna.Racing was stopped after 10 heats due to track conditions, but five-time Speedway GP world champion Bartosz Zmarzlik won all three of his rides – notching nine points. Dominik Kubera added seven paid eight. Przemyslaw Pawlicki was Pirates’ top performer on six paid seven.For details of Tuesday’s Bauhaus Elitserien results, scorers and the latest league table, <a href="https://www.svemo.se/vara-sportgrenar/start-speedway/resultat-speedway">CLICK HERE</a>.

ELITSERIEN | LINDGREN LEADS VASTERVIK VICTORY CHARGE

Czech international Daniel Klima will replace the injured Adam Bednar as FIM Speedway GP of Czech Republic – Prague wild card on May 31.Bednar crashed during Polish club Gorzow’s Under-24 Ekstraliga match with Czestochowa on May 13 and has been ruled out of making his Speedway GP debut at Marketa Stadium.The 17-year-old is replaced by his Prague club teammate Daniel Klima, aged 22, who finished <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/news/kvech-retains-czech-title">third in the recent Czech Championship</a> in Slany. This will be his first Speedway GP appearance over at least five rides.Klima has made two previous Speedway GP appearances as a track reserve in Prague and was also on standby in the pits for the 2024 FIM Czech Speedway GP, but did not take a ride.He qualified for the 2022 FIM Speedway Under-21 World Championship (SGP2) series, taking 19th place. He will hope to make the most of his previous international experience in the biggest meeting of his career so far.The line-up for the FIM Czech Speedway GP will be completed by track reserves Jan Macek and Jaroslav Vanicek, who line up in the No.17 and No.18 race jackets respectively.Tickets for the FIM Speedway GP of Czech Republic – Prague are still available online.

CZECH STAR KLIMA REPLACES BEDNAR AS PRAGUE WILD CARD

Danish champion Anders Thomsen has opted out of this season’s Speedway European Championship series as Patryk Dudek steps in.Thomsen finished fourth in the 2024 SEC standings to secure entry for this season’s four-round series, which sees the winner qualify for the 2026 FIM Speedway Grand Prix World Championship.The Vojens and Gorzow rider’s place is taken by Speedway GP second substitute Dudek, who finished sixth in the 2024 SEC standings. He now withdraws from the SEC Challenge in Stralsund, Germany on May 31, with French international Dimitri Berge replacing him.Dudek’s unexpected SEC call-up opens the door for him to fight for a Speedway GP return after he missed out on Poland’s three spots in this year’s SGP qualifiers. These were secured by current Speedway GP rider Dominik Kubera, double SGP2 champion Mateusz Cierniak and Kacper Woryna.The Torun star raced to third place as a wild card at the Orlen Oil FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Warsaw last Saturday, and Dudek could still play a role in the remaining eight Speedway GP rounds if he is called up as second substitute, with Denmark’s Leon Madsen the first reserve on the list.&nbsp;For the time being, Dudek will switch his focus to landing SEC gold as he lines up alongside fellow automatic qualifiers, two-time and defending champion Andzejs Lebedevs, Madsen, Woryna and the in-form Piotr Pawlicki.Five more entrants will be confirmed at the SEC Challenge, which takes place on the same day as the FIM Speedway GP of Czech Republic – Prague on May 31. The line-up will be completed by five permanent wild cards.The SEC series launches at Polish venue Bydgoszcz on July 12, before heading to German track Gustrow on July 26 and Polish club Leszno on August 23. The final round takes place as part of Czech city Pardubice’s iconic Golden Helmet weekend on September 19 – less than a week after the Speedway GP title decider in Vojens on September 13.

THOMSEN WITHDRAWS FROM SEC SERIES AS DUDEK STEPS UP

Aussie star Jason Doyle has issued an update following his crash at the Orlen Oil FIM Speedway GP of Poland - Warsaw on Saturday.Doyle withdrew from the meeting and was taken to hospital for further assessment after crashing in the opening exchanges of heat 15 at PGE Narodowy.Posting on Instagram early on Sunday afternoon, Doyle wrote: “Firstly…..thank you for the kind wishes and support! Last night ended full gas into a fence.&nbsp;“As you may notice my model career has come to an end! And so has my dancing with the stars day!&nbsp;“I dislocated my left hip and just took a good beating! I'll be back very soon!”We wish Jason a speedy recovery!

DOYLE ISSUES INJURY UPDATE

Aussie ace Jack Holder was delighted to defy his 2023 heartbreak to triumph in the world’s biggest speedway event as he won the Orlen Oil FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Warsaw at PGE Narodowy on Saturday night.Holder came agonisingly <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/results/2023-fim-speedway-gp-of-poland-warsaw">close to topping the Warsaw podium in 2023</a>, taking a commanding lead in the final, only for the race to be stopped due to a crash, with the Lublin and Sheffield rider forced to make do with second spot behind Sweden’s Fredrik Lindgren in the rerun.But Holder took the chequered flag two years on, beating first-time Speedway GP World Championship leader Brady Kurtz in the final as the pair completed an Australian one-two.&nbsp;Kurtz finished second to move <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/sgp/standings">five points clear of Poland’s Bartosz Zmarzlik at the top of the standings</a>, with Polish wild card Patryk Dudek taking third place on the night and his fellow countryman Dominik Kubera fourth.The night belonged to Holder, who won five of his six races – beaten only by runner-up Kurtz in his final heat. And there’s no doubt he thrived in the white-hot atmosphere of Warsaw’s PGE Narodowy, as he triumphed in front of the sport’s biggest crowd.&nbsp;He said: “We like these events! Of course, we like these big crowds and there is a roof overhead here in Warsaw. There is no rain – the roof takes that off your mind. It’s also one of the biggest crowds and the Polish fans are crazy. It’s a great atmosphere.“It was one of those nights where I didn’t change anything until the last heat when Brady beat me. Before my last heat, I had a really long time because they had a couple of crashes. I didn’t touch the bike until I got that second in the last heat. Then I did something to the bike for the final.“I took a gamble with the inside gate for the final and backed myself. I made the start and just tried to hit every rut as well and straight as I could.&nbsp;“I could hear people buzzing around me everywhere, but I just put my head down, tried not to stuff it up and hoped the red lights didn’t come on. That’s an Aussie one-two – thank you!”&nbsp;<iframe width="100%" height="400" src="https://youtube.com/embed/tpO5QeLcfeg" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>Holder wasn’t the only Aussie celebrating as Kurtz topped the Speedway GP standings on only his fourth SGP appearance. While the 2024 FIM SGP Challenge winner knows he has work to do to stay there with eight rounds remaining, he’s delighted with a fine start to Speedway GP life.“It’s wild to think that I am leading the whole thing,” he said. “I’m not going to get carried away with it. It has only been two rounds, and we have a long way to go yet. It’s definitely where you want to be, so it’s a nice feeling for sure.”&nbsp;<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/459501/conversions/KurtzZmarzlikLambert8311-large.jpg"/>Asked if expected to be in this position so soon into his SGP career, the 28-year-old replied: “Obviously not, but we are all here to win. I came into the series wanting to be world champion – just as the other guys do. I have put in a lot of work and things have been going well.“I am sure there will be some tough ones to follow, and that’s something I will have to navigate when the time comes.”&nbsp;<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/459498/conversions/KurtzDudek9837-large.jpg"/>Third-placed Dudek admits racing as a wild card seems to bring out the best in him as he built on two semi-final appearances as a No.16 last year by reaching his first Warsaw podium since 2019.&nbsp;He said: “Years ago when I made the podium, it was a different feeling because I was racing all of the rounds in Speedway GP. This time, it was just one night, and I don’t know if I will race next time. There wasn’t big pressure for the meeting, so I had big fun here.“Last year I had the wild card two times, and my results were not bad. Maybe I must race all rounds as a wild card. It would be better because it isn’t the same pressure as normal.”&nbsp;<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/459494/conversions/DudekThomsenKubera8529-large.jpg"/>Fourth-placed Kubera has endured some nightmare visits to Warsaw in recent years – crashing out of Qualifying with a back injury in 2023 and scoring two points last year.He was elated to leave PGE Narodowy with a smile on his face in 2025. He said: “It was a really enjoyable night for me. I was really happy to be in the final at this stadium. It was amazing. We were so close to being on the podium.“Before the meeting, if someone had told me I would make the final, I would have said, ‘yes’ and taken it. I have it and 14 points more on my board. We will fight in the next round.”&nbsp;Next up is the <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/rounds/fim-speedway-gp-of-czech-republic-prague-1">FIM Speedway GP of Czech Republic – Prague on Saturday, May 31</a>, preceded by <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/rounds/fim-sgp3-final-prague">FIM Speedway Youth World Championship</a> action on Friday, May 30 as the sport’s top 250cc, under-16 stars compete in the FIM SGP3 Final – also at Marketa Stadium.&nbsp;Next up is the <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/rounds/fim-speedway-gp-of-czech-republic-prague-1">FIM Speedway GP of Czech Republic – Prague on Saturday, May 31</a>, preceded by <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/rounds/fim-sgp3-final-prague">FIM Speedway Youth World Championship</a> action on Friday, May 30 as the sport’s top 250cc, under-16 stars compete in the FIM SGP3 Final – also at Marketa Stadium.Tickets for the Prague event are available online <a href="https://www.ticketportal.cz/event/2025-FIM-SPEEDWAY-GRAND-PRIX-OF-CZECH-REPUBLIC">HERE</a> now.<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/459499/conversions/Tifo7889-large.jpg"/>

AUSSIE STAR HOLDER’S WARSAW REDEMPTION

Australian racer Jack Holder gained redemption for his 2023 Warsaw heartbreak with victory in the 2025 Orlen Oil FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Warsaw at PGE Narodowy on Saturday.Holder was cruelly denied victory in the 2023 Warsaw event after the final was stopped due to a crash – with the Lublin and Sheffield rider leading convincingly.But Holder dominated for all four laps two years on to see off new Speedway GP World Championship leader Brady Kurtz, who was second to deliver an Aussie one-two in the world’s biggest speedway event.Kurtz’s victory hands him a five-point advantage over Polish icon Bartosz Zmarzlik in the Speedway GP standings ahead of the FIM Speedway GP of Czech Republic – Prague on May 31.Polish wild card Patryk Dudek picked up third place, while his compatriot Dominik Kubera was fourth after the pair battled their way through the last-chance qualifiers to huge acclaim from a packed PGE Narodowy.For the full Speedway GP World Championship standings, <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/sgp/standings">CLICK HERE</a>.Full report to follow soon …

AUSSIE ACE HOLDER SEALS WARSAW WIN AS KURTZ TOPS SPEEDWAY GP STANDINGS

Czech champion Jan Kvech is determined to take his sprint finish into Saturday’s Orlen Oil FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Warsaw after winning Friday’s Qualifying showdown at PGE Narodowy.The Prague racer triumphed in the Warsaw sprint race ahead of Aussie ace Brady Kurtz, who collected three championship points for the second sprint on the bounce. Great Britain’s Robert Lambert finished third to net two points, with his compatriot Dan Bewley collecting one in fourth spot.The world’s top riders, including Polish trio Bartosz Zmarzlik, Dominik Kubera and Patryk Dudek, will line up in front of around 50,000 fans under the iconic PGE Narodowy roof on Saturday.Kvech – now ninth in the standings on nine points – is in only his second Speedway GP season, and a rider who retained the Czech Championship on Wednesday can’t wait to build on his sprint finish to Qualifying.&nbsp;He said: “I am very happy with the win in the sprint race. I enjoy racing here in Warsaw and I like this track. I just feel good. My bike is working well. Today was just Qualifying; tomorrow will be the GP. I am ready to race.”&nbsp;<iframe width="100%" height="400" src="https://youtube.com/embed/ovC4m-IPQmE" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe><img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/457554/conversions/Kurtz1763-large.jpg"/>Qualifying runner-up Brady Kurtz moved up to second spot in the Speedway GP World Championship on 20 points after bagging three points in the sprint race.&nbsp;Asked if there was any secret to his Qualifying success after repeating his result from round one in Landshut, Germany, he smiled: “I’m always fast on the track – there are just people in the way! In Qualifying, there is no-one in the way. I feel good. I quite enjoy trying to go fast on the track. It has been nice to get into two sprint races and get a few points on the board.”As well as accruing six championship points from his two sprint races, Kurtz racked up 14 for taking <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/results/wwk-fim-speedway-gp-of-germany-landshut">fourth spot at the WWK FIM Speedway GP of Germany – Landshut on May 3.</a>The 2024 FIM SGP Challenge winner is in his Speedway GP debut season and knows there will be challenges ahead – even if he has started 2025 in red-hot form throughout Europe.He said: “It’s easy to say you are enjoying it after one good GP. I’m sure there are a few tough ones to follow throughout the season, which I am going to find some ways to overcome. But so far, so good. I am feeling comfortable, and the bikes are working well. My team is doing a good job and things are going well.”&nbsp;<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/457556/conversions/Lambert1468-large.jpg"/>Lambert’s second straight third place in the sprint – matching his Landshut performance – moves him up to fifth place in the standings on 13 championship points. A man crowned British champion last Monday hopes to continue a fine week with another big performance on a PGE Narodowy track he is enjoying.The Norfolk racer, who was third in the 2024 Warsaw round, said: “This was a good way to start the weekend, with a few points on the board, which is important. The track has improved a little bit since last year. It is a little bit wider and a bit of a replica to what they did in Cardiff.“I think that’s going to help with creating some more lines tomorrow, so I am looking forward to it.“Winning here is always something that you want and strive for, but you have five hard races, and you want to do well in them to try and get straight through to the final. We’ll see how things play out tomorrow and try to get a couple of steps higher after the final.”&nbsp;<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/457551/conversions/Bewley2248-large.jpg"/>Bewley slipped to third place in the standings on 19 points, despite claiming a championship point in the sprint race. But he can’t wait to make his Warsaw return on Saturday evening.He said: “I am looking forward to tomorrow night. Warsaw is always a track I like coming to. It’s just so cool as a rider to come to a stadium like this. Just walking in here is pretty special.“The track is pretty unique. It’s almost like a different sport compared to your typical Polish league track. Places like here are a bit of a leveller. No-one rides here any other time. But I’ll hopefully put a good result in and enjoy it after – that’s the plan.”&nbsp;<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/457552/conversions/Kubera3036-large.jpg"/>Polish star Kubera hopes to deliver a Warsaw night to remember after missing the 2023 round due to a crash in Qualifying and scoring two points in 2024.He said: “I am really happy to be here. Maybe the track and stadium hasn’t always been good for me, but I feel good on the bike, and I feel better than last year. I will try my best, and we will see what happens tomorrow. I will work with my team and maybe this will be a successful year for a Polish rider. But I must concentrate all the time and fight to the line.”&nbsp;For full Qualifying results, <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/results/orlen-oil-fim-speedway-gp-of-poland-warsaw">CLICK HERE</a> and for updated Speedway GP World Championship standings, <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/sgp/standings">CLICK HERE</a>.Tickets for the Orlen Oil FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Warsaw are still available online.

CZECH CHARGER KVECH DELIVERS SPRINT FINISH IN WARSAW

Polish icon Bartosz Zmarzlik admits he has learned to embrace life in the FIM Speedway Grand Prix limelight as he gets ready for the Orlen Oil FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Warsaw this Saturday.Since the world’s biggest speedway event – raced in front of around 50,000 fans – debuted at PGE Narodowy in 2015, Zmarzlik has made a meteoric rise from relative rookie to become one of the sport’s all-time greats.With the five-time Speedway GP world champion chasing a record-equalling sixth gold medal this season, he has undoubtedly become one of biggest sporting stars in his homeland.This comes with a level of attention the relatively shy Zmarzlik has had to adapt to over the years. But the 30-year-old says this is something he embraces as he bids to become Poland’s first-ever Speedway GP winner at PGE Narodowy.&nbsp;“Every year it’s easier because I understand more about this,” he said. “I know what to do and the attention is a positive because if you don’t like this, what are you doing in the sport?“I think ‘wow’ sometimes when people come over, and it’s a nice feeling. Sometimes it’s hard, of course. But why not? If other people want something from me, why not open up and give time to these people?“It is nice because I also do my racing for the people and these people come to the stadium. Everybody is welcome because with no people, there’s no racing.”&nbsp;<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/457033/conversions/Zmarzlik3464-large.jpg"/>There will be no shortage of fans cheering on Zmarzlik, who holds a <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/sgp/standings">six-point Speedway GP World Championship lead</a> over Great Britain star Dan Bewley in second spot heading to Warsaw. He is joined in flying the famous white and red flag by Lublin and Lejonen teammate Dominik Kubera, as well as <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/news/polish-star-dudeks-warsaw-date">wild card Patryk Dudek</a>.All three Poles are set to receive huge backing from a partisan Polish crowd, while the international stars will also enjoy plenty of support from fans travelling from all over the world.&nbsp;But Zmarzlik is keen to focus on his job rather than the noise as he <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/results/2024-orlen-fim-speedway-gp-of-poland-warsaw">aims to better the second place he achieved at PGE Narodowy in 2024</a>.“This is, of course, a special meeting,” he said. “But I will go into every meeting like I always do. It doesn’t matter where we go; I always want to do a good job. I always do the best I can.”&nbsp;<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/457031/conversions/Kubera4637-large.jpg"/>Kubera will also be hoping for a big night in Warsaw, having scored two points in the 2024 event and missed the 2023 round at PGE Narodowy due to injury, after crashing in Qualifying.The tight and technical Warsaw circuit is unique as it is constructed in the week leading up to the event by Danish triple world champion Ole Olsen.Some riders adapt to the circuit faster than others, and Kubera proved his class on a temporary track when he finished <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/results/2024-fim-speedway-gp-of-great-britain-cardiff">fourth at the FIM Speedway GP of Great Britain – Cardiff last August.</a>The Leszno-born star raced to three fourth places in 2024 and is determined to get back on the SGP podium for the first time since he made his debut as a wild card in the 2021 FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Lublin double-header, finishing second on night one and third on night two.“Of course, I want to make all the finals and take the trophy,” he said. “One goal for this season is to be in the final and not be the last one. I want to be on the podium like I was in Lublin because I think about it all the time. I want to get this feeling back because it is awesome, and I would love it.”&nbsp;Tickets for the Orlen Oil FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Warsaw are still available online.
