 2019 FIM World Speedway Championship started in Warsaw in Poland, the legend Thomas Golubin attendants riders on parade looking to get off to a good start to their world championship trail for the new season. Ty Woffenden of course is the reigning world speedway champion. Could he get the effects of his title off to a good start after not practicing the 84 because he was in league action. Well the action was fast and furious early on and the shape of the track encouraged riders like Antonio Limbac to go outside and inside plenty of passing to keep the FIMs entertained. Martos Smarslik was off to a good start and the poles really did dominate in the early stages but then Niels Christian Everson of Denmark started to group into the equation and also Freddie Lindgren of Sweden riding well, riding nicely and really putting pressure on the home riders but it wasn't the best of nights for Ty Woffenden in the start of the defence of his world title. He missed out on a place in the semi-finals, he was struggling to make the start and not the best of openings in the world championship defence. The action got better and better as the night went on Niels Christian Everson winning races, looking good. Martos Smarslik winning races and Patrick Dubeck at Poland was the most consistent until his five rides with poor wins along the way. Late on he got very tense in the business end, he's 17 to 20 as riders went for points to hedge to just edge their way through to the semi-finals places. Got very tight, very tense, Lindbac having a real go and some real drama between Lindgren and Lindbac at one stage there. Dubeck no going into the semi-finals in good shape and Robert Lambert at Great Britain getting his first ever race win, getting into the semi-finals as well. Lindgren won the opening semi-final ahead of Dubeck, second semi-final, that was a win for Niels Christian Everson with Leon Manson second and then in the final it was Leon Manson who picked his moment superbly to get the victory and win the opening Grand Prix of the Year.
