Aussie racer Rohan Tungate admits his 2024 Rowe Motor Oil Premiership season with Oxford was “by far my most enjoyable year in British speedway.”Tungate returned to Britain for the first time since 2022, claiming the Spires No.1 race jacket and earning a return for this season.The two-time Australian champion tests himself in Poland’s PGE Ekstraliga for the first time in 2025 as he moves up with newly-promoted Rybnik.He’s also delighted to be back at Oxford, and the former Ipswich, Poole, Swindon, Somerset, Belle Vue and Peterborough man admits his season at Cowley was a career highlight.He said: “I actually loved racing back in Britain. It’s where I started my professional career. It wasn’t so good there just before Covid. But last year, I felt it was a good time to come back for a full season, and I didn’t look back.&nbsp;"I really liked it and loved racing for Oxford. It’s a really good club and I enjoyed going there every week. In the past, I haven’t always enjoyed going to Britain. Don’t get me wrong; I enjoyed racing for most clubs, and I have had good memories in Britain. But last year, it was by far my most enjoyable year in British speedway.“I can’t say anything bad about the team manager, Peter Schroeck. He was spot-on all year and just made us all feel so comfortable. Jamie Courtney, the promoter, was also really nice and made us feel welcome. My teammates were great too. I spent a lot of time with Magic (Maciej Janowski) travelling to and from Britain. We hung out on the day of the matches, and it just made it a good vibe there.“We had a Polish guy, Piotr, who was taking us to the tracks. He picked us up from the airport and we always had a really cool day every time we were there. It just made it way more enjoyable when it was like that. Racing in Britain does not come with huge, huge money. But you have to enjoy yourself and I did that last year.”

TUNGATE LOVING LIFE AT OXFORD

Polish racer Przemyslaw Pawlicki is set for his third straight season with Piraterna in Sweden’s Bauhaus Elitserien in 2025.The former Speedway GP star was confirmed as the Motala club’s latest signing, joining Czech ace Vaclav Milik and fellow Polish stars Oskar Fajfer and Oskar Paluch in the squad, as well as Denmark’s Tim Sorensen and Swedish trio Mathias Thornblom, Jonathan Ejnermark and Ludvig Selvin.Team manager Anders Bylin is backing Pawlicki to emerge as a leader to a youthful squad.He told the club’s official website: “It is really nice to finally have it all sorted out with Przemysław Pawlicki and his team. We've been in contact since the last meeting of last year, but sometimes things take a little longer.“In Przemek, we get a stable heat leader and a rider who in his best moments can beat just about anyone. He truly pushes opponents once the tapes go up. He’s a crowd favourite who will be incredibly useful to the team.“It will be something of a father role in the pits for Przemek as this year's team is slightly younger and less experienced than in 2024. But that’s something we believe he will shoulder well.“With this great signing, there are now only two spots left in the squad. Who will be the next one in? We hope to be able to present next signing shortly.”Elsewhere, Malilla club Dackarna recently confirmed the addition of Danish rider Patrick Hansen to their 2025 squad.

PAWLICKI MAKES PIRATES RETURN

This week, we rewind to the 2024 Orlen FIM Speedway GP of Czech Republic - Prague as Slovak star Martin Vaculik headed to Marketa Stadium, chasing a hat-trick.<iframe width="100%" height="400" src="https://youtube.com/embed/NVyqkucANbc" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

2024 REPLAY | ORLEN FIM SPEEDWAY GP OF CZECH REPUBLIC - PRAGUE

Polish racer Dominik Kubera insists he isn’t setting any goals for his second FIM Speedway Grand Prix season as he bids to get “the maximum” out of 2025.Kubera finished eighth in last year’s Speedway GP World Championship, reaching three finals along the way, before racing to third place at the FIM SGP Challenge in Pardubice on October 4 to retain his spot in the series.The former FIM Speedway World Cup winner also won Poland’s PGE Ekstraliga with Lublin and Sweden’s Bauhaus Elitserien with Lejonen.Kubera has the chance to build on that fine season in 2025, but he insists his only target is to get the most out of the campaign.He told PolskiZuzel.pl: “I don't set myself a goal. I want to be happy after each season and each competition, to feel that I've squeezed the maximum out of it. And what the result is, I'll see after the season. In October, I'll sit in an armchair and sum it up.”Kubera, who has just returned from a training camp in Malta with the Polish national team, isn’t making any major changes to his preparations for the new season.He said: “I don't like sudden changes; I prefer evolution. The most important thing is the sports result, and this preparation is supposed to help.&nbsp;"I've been happy for a few years now. I have enough strength during the season, so I don't turn the way I prepare upside down. I change things where I see a deficit.”Kubera enjoyed the chance to spend some quality time with his international teammates in the Maltese sunshine away from the intensity of the speedway season.He said: “We have more time than in the season to see each other, talk. This is the biggest advantage of this camp, that we have a moment more time to joke and laugh.”

KUBERA: GETTING THE MOST OUT OF 2025

FIM Speedway race director Phil Morris believes cutting riders’ pre-heat time allowance from two minutes to 90 seconds will increase the pace of FIM Speedway action in 2025.From the moment they are pushed off ahead of each FIM Speedway heat, riders previously had two minutes to head to the tapes and ensure they are ready to race when the clock hits zero – otherwise they face being disqualified by the referee.This has now been reduced to 90 seconds, cutting the time riders have to prepare their starting position – commonly known as gardening – or test equipment and make practice starts.Riders’ pre-heat time allowance will continue to be reduced to one minute at the race director’s discretion in the event of a restart – usually if a heat is stopped due to an unsatisfactory start.&nbsp;<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/441583/conversions/BewleyMichelsenHolderFrickeWaitingArea2515-(1)-large.jpg"/>Having listened to comments from the speedway community, Morris hopes a reduction in this time allowance will see meetings run at a faster pace and finish within the targeted two and a half hours, even if racing is held up by crashes, medical incidents or other delays.Morris said: “We have listened to what the fans have said with regard to gardening at the start line. Riders previously had two minutes in which to do what they wanted, but we have decided to cut that down to 90 seconds. It’s taking 30 seconds of gardening away before every heat. “TV viewers are usually watching the replays of the heat before when riders are preparing their starting position for the next race. But for fans watching in the stadium, it should feel as if the action is progressing a little bit faster. “There is no exact science as to how long a meeting will take. We do our best in Speedway GP to get it done in less than two and a half hours from the first heat to the final. This decision to move to 90 seconds helps towards that.&nbsp;"There’s a chance we could have accidents or incidents, medical treatment may be needed, or there could be damage to the air fence. Having this extra time helps with the flow of an event.”<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/441584/conversions/142_MK_SGPvojens_Kubera-large.jpg"/>The time-allowance change follows the <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/news/new-in-2025-extra-sprint-races-and-high-stakes-head-to-head-showdowns-in-speedway-gp-qualifying">announcement of an exciting new Qualifying format and the introduction of last-chance qualifiers instead of semi-finals for 2025.</a>A detailed summary of this season’s Speedway GP rules can be found <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/sgp/rules">HERE</a>, where readers can find a link to the full 2025 Speedway GP rulebook.

SPEEDWAY GP STARS ON 90 SECONDS FOR 2025

Former SGP2 star Francis Gusts says international teammate Andzejs Lebedevs’ success has shone a spotlight on speedway in Latvia.The sport has reached new heights in the Baltic nation in recent years, with Gusts and Lebedevs part of the team that took Latvia to its first-ever FIM Speedway world team final in the 2021 FIM Speedway of Nations.Since then, Latvia has reached a second FIM SON Final in Manchester last year and Gusts led the under-21 team that won 2023 FIM Speedway of Nations – SON2 bronze in Riga – the country's first speedway world team medal of any colour.There’s no doubt Lebedevs has been the star of the show, becoming the country’s first-ever full-time Speedway GP rider in 2024, before retaining his place for 2025 by winning his second Speedway European Championship. He also reached his first SGP final in Vojens last September.The form of Latvia’s riders, coupled with the growth of the OlyBet FIM Speedway GP of Latvia – Riga over the past two years, has taken speedway to new heights in Gusts’ homeland. And he is definitely noticing the impact.He said: “Some years ago, no-one knew what speedway is in Latvia. Now, I don’t want to say that people recognise me in the street, but it is close to this. The popularity of speedway in Latvia and Riga is growing. That’s thanks to Andzejs because he is European champion and a GP rider. This gives some more attention to speedway.“The sport’s popularity is going up little by little and step by step, it is getting more popular and more popular. I notice the difference. Our young riders are the future of speedway, so the media talks about us too.”Gusts is also pleased to see a growing number of young riders on track at Bikernieki – venue for the Speedway GP event in Riga, where he first discovered the sport.“You should see how many little guys are at the academy,” he said. “When I started, there were a lot of guys. Then there was a black hole and not a lot of riders were there for a while. Now there are a lot of young riders again who want to try speedway.”

GUSTS: LEBEDEVS' SUCCESS PUTS SPEEDWAY IN LATVIAN LIMELIGHT

Danish racer Michael Jepsen Jensen has his sights set on a Speedway GP comeback for 2026.Jepsen Jensen is no stranger to the sport’s biggest stage, having won the FIM Speedway World Cup, the FIM Nordic Speedway GP at Vojens and the FIM Speedway Under-21 World Championship in an astonishing 2012 season.He also raced in the Speedway GP series full-time in 2015, finishing 11th in the final standings, but MJJ has not appeared in the World Championship since he scored four points as FIM Danish Speedway GP wild card at Horsens in 2018.Second place in the 2024 Danish Final has earned the rider one of his country’s spots in the 2025 Speedway GP qualifiers.Jepsen Jensen ended last year in red-hot form for Polish PGE Ekstraliga club Grudziadz – helping the team reach the play-offs for the first time in its history, as well as winning the Danish Speedwayligaen title with Slangerup.Now the 32-year-old is determined to fight his way through the qualifiers and earn a spot in the FIM SGP Challenge at Danish club Holsted on August 9, where four places in the 2026 Speedway GP series will be up for grabs.He said: “I see it as a good opportunity to get back. I want to make sure everything around me is working. If it is and I feel good, anything can happen. I am super hungry now. It would be really fun to be back in the GPs.“I felt my confidence growing meeting by meeting last year, as well as my trust in myself. I believe I can do something great and if I can continue this, I don’t see why I shouldn’t be able to go back into the GPs and compete.&nbsp;“If I go back into the GPs, it’s not to just finish in the top six. I want to come in and win. If not, I don’t see any point in being there.“Before the season started last time I was in there, realistically I knew it was probably not possible to win. If I go back in, it’s because I have the feeling that I can kick ass and I can win. If not, I would rather have my Saturdays off.”He added: “I am at a point where if I don’t feel I can compete or I don’t believe things can get better, I would quit instead of having all the travel and all the hassle. I would rather get a normal day job if that’s the case.&nbsp;"I am all in with speedway, but if it’s not going to work, I would rather do something else.“If it happens, and I can compete in Speedway GP again, that would be the coolest thing ever. But if I can look myself in the mirror in one, five, 10 or 15 years and say, ‘I gave it this one last chance and did everything I could’, that’s fine. It doesn’t matter if it does or doesn’t work out. It’s just about me and the people around me knowing I have put in the work to make this possible.&nbsp;“If it happens, that’s cool. If not, if I can look at myself in the mirror and say I did everything I could, then I can accept it.”While Jepsen Jensen has been on the world stage for over a decade and a half, the 32-year-old knows he still has time on his side to push for a Speedway GP return.He added: “I have been around for quite a while. My first season on the 500cc bikes was 2009. I think because of this, people think I am older than I actually am. Some of the generation before me is still racing and I still believe I have 10 good years in front of me.”

DANISH STAR MJJ UP FOR FIM SGP CHALLENGE

This week, we rewind back to round three - the night Danish star Mikkel Michelsen ended his wait for a first FIM Speedway Grand Prix victory at the Trans MF FIM Speedway GP of Germany - Landshut.<iframe width="100%" height="400" src="https://youtube.com/embed/0G9cCtPoFWU" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

2024 REPLAY | TRANS MF FIM SPEEDWAY GP OF GERMANY - LANDSHUT

Former world No.3 Maciej Janowski has been dropped from the Polish national squad for 2025.Polish speedway bosses confirmed the news on the national team’s official website after Janowski departed their pre-season training camp in Malta without permission, before returning after a brief trip home.Posting a video on social media on Saturday, Janowski confirmed he headed back to Poland to attend a friend and sponsor’s wedding, as well as obtain a new passport and the visa needed to compete for British club Oxford this season.The PZM main board hit back with a statement confirming Janowski is out of the squad for 2025, when the Poles will go for gold at the FIM Speedway of Nations Final in Torun on October 4.Ireneusz Igielski, chairman of the GKSŻ and head of the Polish national team, said: “I am very sorry that this situation has occurred. Representing the country is the highest possible honour and that is how it should be treated by the riders. Removing Maciej Janowski from the squad was a difficult decision, but there could be no other.“Before leaving for Malta, coach Rafał Dobrucki gave all riders specific information regarding their participation in the training camp. He did this because we did not want to have situations like the one with Maciej Janowski.“In addition, Maciej Janowski had a conversation with the coach before leaving for Poland. He (Dobrucki) reminded him of his previous commitment and informed him about the possible consequences of leaving the camp. I would not like to talk about the reasons why Maciej Janowski decided to leave, because it is a private matter of the rider. However, in the opinion of the coach and also mine, there was no premise that would allow for consent to such a trip. It was not a sudden family situation, nor an illness or injury.”Explaining his decision to leave the camp, Janowski posted: “A week before arriving in Malta from Tenerife, I called the coach to ask for leave from the last three days of the camp, on the pretext of a few things I had in Poland.&nbsp;“One of them was to collect a new passport and apply for a work visa in England. The second thing was the wedding of my friends, who are also sponsors, with whom we have very good relations, and I really wanted to attend the wedding. It was not a birthday, so the wedding seemed like a pretty good argument to me.&nbsp;“In response, the coach said that I should lie to him, which surprised me a lot. Of course, I could lie and blame it on some family issues, which would certainly make it a lot easier. However, it seemed to me that the truth is also some kind of expression of respect towards the coach. I have always been guided by the fact that I rather build my relationships with people on the truth, not on lies. The coach said ‘Okay, okay, but we'll talk more at the camp.’“We met after a few days at the camp. The day before the flight, I went back to the coach and said that I was determined to go, because there were only two training days left, because we would be back on the third day. The coach was not entirely happy, but I decided to go, because many riders had done it in the past and it had never been a problem.”Along with being dropped from the national team, Janowski has also been threatened with being frozen out of the Golden Helmet meetings, which traditionally decide Poland’s entrants for the Speedway GP qualifiers.Janowski is far from happy with the storm that has ensued. He added: “I thought that I had stronger relationships with some people, but then I saw all these articles ... Nobody even called me from the PZM. In reality, we are destroying the team from the inside even before the season. I don't know why there is such aversion to me.&nbsp;“I thought that for all these years in the team, for the medals won together with the guys, there would be greater respect for me. I don't want to close the door to the Golden Helmet. It will definitely not be a nice day. It will be a day of confrontation. I want to hear why they did this to me, why the matter was referred to journalists.”Despite the PZM’s decision, the riders selected by Polish boss Rafal Dobrucki and every other national team manager at this stage of the season form only a provisional squad. They reserve the right to select riders beyond their pre-season list when they choose their five-rider squad for the FIM SON four weeks before the tournament starts with Semi-Final 1 on September 30.This leaves the door open for Janowski return and chase Poland’s first-ever gold medal in the FIM SON, should Dobrucki and the PZM have a change of heart.

JANOWSKI OUT OF POLISH SQUAD
