 Sending down now, hugely important moments here. And Vasoulas just turning around, just as clear as goggles. Crowd really being lit up by the stadium announcer. Good crowd in here. That's really encouraging to see for the youngsters. The noisy crowd too. Yeah. Getting right behind their team. Plenty of excitement in this part of the world for World Championship Speedway. Here we go then. Heat 22, the grand final qualifier. Who's going to join Poland? Green lights on. Tapes up now. And once again, Vasoulas has made a super start out against number two. He's blown away from there. Here comes Goose now. Goose coming through in the third place. That'll do it for Lafayette if he can hang on. Gerald running wide there. Certainly very tight. Oh my goodness gracious me. Goose has got it all to do again now. Oh yeah, he's got plenty of speed. I think he's going to really put plenty of pressure now on Emil Brum. He's got a good run out of this corner. He just can't find the speed. I tell you what, had himself in position as soon as he's doing a great job up front. And Goose now has no answer for the Danes are doing it again. Five points would take them into the final. It would indeed. Goose under pressure. He was the hero in heat 21. Looking like he might just miss out. A lap to go. And Vasoulas at a gate number two has worked a treat. Gerald there hanging nicely in second place. One last chance for Goose. Switches to the outside. Trying to turn back to the inside to the run to the line. Not going to be enough. Den Markle through. Den Markle through. It's a bronze medal for Latvia. We're disappointed not to make the final. But nonetheless they pick up a medal. But Den Markle have done it again. You see it in the race. They have been super solid. We're picking up second and third. And so it proved in the grand final qualifier. Five points for Den Markle. Gerald and Brum doing the business. Riccardo and Vasoulas a surprise winner actually of the grand final qualifier. Picks up the win. But Goose as hard as he tried. It was a good one. And Vasoulas just couldn't get amongst the points. Latvia will be so disappointed with that. Because the tactics worked. And Vasoulas off the inside gate of gate two did his job. He made the start. He got out in front on the first lap. And that was all he needed to do. But I've gone one better than last year, Chris. They were fourth last year. They're making progress. They've picked up a medal and the crowd are clearly delighted with that. That's amazing from the Danish team. Managers proved to be correct. You can't beat his enthusiasm. No, he loves it, doesn't he? He lives and breathes it. And all credit to him. Den Markle in the final being rock solid this evening. See it once again, Chris. Yeah, Latvia's tactics working a dream here. And Vasoulas just makes a perfect start. Doesn't panic, creeps around the inside of the track, gets himself in front. At this point, Francis Goose has done the job. But he can't get across the right and red there. He just can't do it. And he just runs in wide. And to be fair to Emil Bruem, he read it perfectly, crept around the inside. And then Goose tries. He looked up the inside for the cutback. He tried around the outside. Just could not generate the speed. No, unfortunate for Francis Goose as hard as he tried. And we're taking very difficult in there. And the dogged performances from the two Danish riders here. Look how tight that is. It doesn't get any tighter than that. I thought Goose was going to jump on board there from get off his own bike. I desperately want to be in third place. The disappointment for Latvia, although it will be reconciled with the fact that they picked up a medal at home. And the crowd, a warm round of applause for the two gladiators on their celebratory lap. Denmark and Poland then will go head-to-head in the grand final itself. Henrik Muller and Nicky Pedersen just having a chat about it. Looking like they will go with potentially the same lineup, I would think, for the final. We've got just a few moments now. Track will be left alone for the final now. No more track raiding this evening. I don't think there's any question mark over Poland's tactics. Zemskiy off the inside gate. Sheerlek off the outside. There's no question about that. I think the odds are fairly short on that one. So we'll move down to the pit area where we will have the draw for the grand final. And the leading team having the first choice is team Poland and Rafał. The Rutskiy will make a selection. Could you please select your riders and the gate position? Viktor Przyjemski will be starting in red helmet colour. Mateusz Czerniak in blue. And Mateusz Czerniak in blue helmet colour. Thank you. No surprise at all there. That's the format that's been working well for them tonight. And next to make a selection is Henrik Muller and team Denmark. Please select your riders and the gate position. Here we're going to have Isbun Jail on gate 2 in white. Then we're going to have Jesper Knudsen on the outside in yellow gate 4. And Jesper Knudsen in yellow helmet colour. Thank you. So Denmark using all three riders in the last two races. Knudsen coming back in for the grand final. He'll go from the outside gate. I'm not sure if he's going to thank Niki Pedersen and Henrik Muller too much about that, but nonetheless he's got a chance. And that's the way they've been performing. The luck has been with them on occasion and they've managed to sneak into it. Second and third to keep their gold medal helps alive. Poland in the driving seat. They have been a class apart here. Clear favourites coming into this final. Absolutely. With the starts he's been making off the inside and Sienak will do whatever it takes to get past. Only overconfidence I believe will beat Poland. There's a line up for you. Victor Przembski with the red helmet colour. Mattias Sieniak with the blue helmet colour. Espen Jerolde with the red helmet colour. Mattias Sieniak with the blue helmet colour. Espen Jerolde in white. And Jespen Nutsen coming into the grand final to replace Emil Brem in yellow. Last race of the evening to determine who's going to be crowned world champions here in Riga. Speedway of Nations in 2023. DeWalt, FIM Speedway of Nations. Mattias Sieniak has been sublime. He has been a class apart, has ridden superbly well, hasn't had the best gates, has had to do the hard yards coming through the traffic, but he's made like work of it. He's been stunning at times, inside, outside, working the bike so well. Can Roland make it 10 under 21? Well, team titles on the truck. Well, if the record that would be. Fabulous record they have at this level. 15 victories already out of 18. 10 in a row. That would be truly superb. Very proud nation, of course. They're a powerhouse of Speedway these days, Poland. Winning the Speedway Cup in Wroclaw very recently. The leader in the world championship, the world champion in Szmarzlik, of course. So they are totally dominant at world championship right now, Poland. But can Denmark do something about it? Four laps, I say, only overconfidence. Maybe a little bit of complacency. Possibly creeping in. But I think it's unlikely. They seem very focused. Denmark were the last team to beat Poland in this competition. They'd be ironic if they were the ones to do it again. Yeah, they have won it twice. Poland. Excuse me, not Denmark. They won it twice more than that. Yeah, they have. One lap is not good, is it, tonight? Denmark has won it in 2010 and 2013. So they will be keen to try and do it again. Of course they will. But nonetheless, a silver medal will be still a fine effort. But Nicky Pedersen, he's a winner. As he jogs up to the start position now where they're released, he'll be trying to instill some of that killer instinct that still lives strong in him, doesn't it? Even in his mid-40s, Nicky's... Diminishing. No, it doesn't. Poland. Tosiemski there, the 18-year-old, beginning to make his mark. Highly rated in Poland. And he's got a lot of publicity about Vick to Tosiemski. Sometimes that can be a negative, but he's certainly responded superbly well to keep Kowalski out of the side here in the latter stages. De Bruycki very happy with his pairing. They have worked very well with the fast-starting Tosiemski and Shearniak being able to strut his stuff coming through the traffic. Rene Schaefer now. Look at Nicky Pedersen. Look at the intensity on his face. He knows that Denmark have got a chance here. He knows that the Danes are beating the Poles already tonight. They know the time the Poles have been beating. Time of the evening. Speedway of Nations, two gold medals on the line. A world championship up for grabs. Poland are the holders. The true Poland have pretty much owned this event forever. So the line-up, Vick to Tosiemski for Poland in red. Manchester Shearniak for Poland in blue. Espen Yield for Denmark in white and Jespen Knudsen coming in to replace Emerl Brand for Denmark in yellow. Interested to see which way they go here. Will they put Knudsen off gate number two and put Yield off the outside round? A few moments of time we'll be able to confirm that for you. I think that's the way round I would have looked. Knudsen works here inside quite well. The riders up at the tapes doing a bit of gardening. Looks like Knudsen is going to go from the outside here. That's the way they've gone. Prezemski on the inside. No real surprise there. The Shearniak out of gate number three. Tentz time saw Raffael Dubrochi. Will he do the double? Looking likely. His tenure as team coach for Poland. He was under pressure coming in to the Speedway World Cup. Got out of that. But a skippish tee by a stunning move from Matse Janowski late on in the final. But here in Riga tonight, Poland who have dominated proceedings throughout the event. Four laps to go. Who's going to clinch gold? Nicky Patterson desperate for his team to do it. Still will be a fine effort from his charges. Three new riders coming in. Picking up silver as a minimum. That's still a very, very good result. Yeah, absolutely. We have got the top two teams from the qualifying heats in this grand final. But there's eight points difference between Poland and Denmark. Here we go then. Final term of the night. The grand final to determine who's going to be world champions. Tapes are up into the first corner. Poland showed cleanly. Prezemski off the inside makes another star. Shearniak there alongside them. They are in dominant form here. They really have been a class apart tonight, Poland. And they are controlling the final out in front. They are comfortable out in front. Gerald back in third place with Newton out the back. But Poland is set to be world champions again. Shearniak so aware of what's going on on that opening lap just looking for his teammate. And they are doing a brilliant job. Really riding above his years and riding so nicely as well. Just looking at him, enjoying himself, hanging off the bike. Just backing the side. Waiting for his teammate. That's a little bit soul destroying when you are the other guy doing a great job. Into the last lap then Poland. Set to be crowned world champions once again. Shearniak absolutely superb out in front. Prezemski coming in. Has done a terrific job as well. One last blast through the last corner. And Poland are champions again. Speedway nations of two world champions. Many congratulations to them. Plain sailing in truth in the final. Denmark just not able to land a blow there. But Shearniak and Prezemski have done the business. Shearniak in particular. Has been so, so good this evening. At one stage there he almost selectively reverse going down the backs. He was off the throttle for so long. He just stayed off the throttle for a long while just to close the gap and keep his teammate close to him. But Poland just dominating in every format at every level. And the 21 speedway of nations champions this evening. Speedway World Cup champions. Smartznik leads the speedway Grand Prix. What a year they're having. Now I'm enjoying a fabulous season of speedway. That's for sure. 10 in a row for Poland now. At under 21 level. Terrific performance from them. Incredible record they have. And Shearniak and Prezemski. Kowalski out there as well. Enjoying what's just happened as well. Must be a touch disappointing. But nonetheless it's been a fine showing. And who can stop them? They seem to have this conveyor belt of youngsters coming through. They encourage it. They focus on it. Denmark certainly coming to the four here. They finished fifth last year with 26 points. They pick up Silva this year. So much improvement there. Here's the results for you of the final. Poland pick up a maximum score with 7 matches Shearniak and Victor Prezemski. Gold for them. Silver medal for Denmark with Espen Gerald and Jespen Knudsen. A team effort from Denmark using all three riders throughout the evening. At all scoring points. That's an encouraging sign for them. But there was just no holding Poland. So a great moment for them. And they'll be chuffed to bits with this as we see it again. Ruffle to Bruchy, Polish team are just bringing the changes in their 30. Bringing Prezemski in and sticking to the format. Prezemski off the inside here in red. Just doing a great job off the start once again. Kind of just felt the way he's been starting that that cannot go wrong that format. He has a little look for his teammate. Realises that Shearniak has made a very decent start off gate three. Just runs around the inside stopping anyone creeping around the curve. There we can see both riders just looking across at each other exactly the same time. Looking perfectly as a team. The Danes have done a good job all night. Just nowhere near as good as the Poles. Absolutely. Dominant performance from Poland. Worthy champions. That's for sure. And they'll celebrate this royally. They maintain that incredibly high standard. And just look at the reaction from Mattius Shearniak. They're clearly delighted with that. And he'll be looking forward to now trying to retain the GP2 World Championship. I forgot to add that to the list. He's a clear leader of that. He's in commanding position with that.
