 Round two of the FIM World Speedway Championship went back to Kursko in Slovenia for a 14th visit. A beautiful sunny evening greeted the riders on parade. Who could beat the brilliant Patrick Dudek, Bartosz Smarsnik, Leon Manson, all superb in Warsaw in the opening round. But Taj Woffen and the Rating World Champion arrived on the back of a sickness bug overnight on his journey from Poland where he'd been racing in the Polish extra-league and vomited throughout the night. But at one stage it looked as though he was going to withdraw from the meeting but he did arrive and Woffen and battled off. The action was fast and furious, as you would have expected. The riders really get pretty good on the line. And Bartosz Smarsnik in Poland, he was worth the admission money alone with some spectacular moves at high speed, trying the outside run, trying the inside run and really having a go at every angle. And even the wild card Mati Čivisic getting really stuck in as Slovenian. A rare struggle for Freddie Lindgren now after a wonderful round of four-night earlier in Warsaw Lindgren really struggling to get to grips with the track and is set up to really make an impression. As the meeting progressed, Smarsnik was the star of the show with a string of fantastically entertaining rides. Four wins out of five to get through to the semi-finals on 13 points. Emil Seifutinoff back to his brilliant best. And what about young Robert Lambert, two race wins, seven points and he made the semi-finals on count back. This, a young rider in for Greg Hancock, who is unavailable for family reasons. A terrific atmosphere, crowd really enjoying it. Packed down the back straight for this carnival type atmosphere and a really enjoyable night of speedway. What's he getting a win late on? That was his penultimate ride, but ultimately he missed out on seven points because Lambert had two race wins and got the better of him on count back. Some good stuff in the latter stages from Jason Doyle with a race win. Matson won the first semi-final and in the final it was Bartosz Smarsnik who delivered the goods with a terrific race to win the Kershko Grand Prix.
