 Good evening and welcome to the bet at Wroclaw if I am speedway Grand Prix of Poland from the Olympic Stadium here The floodlights are on but has to be said half the stadium bathed in sunshine It's a really warm humid day today Calvin Tatum a former Wroclaw rider alongside me first of all kelvin. What an atmosphere Yes, fabulous atmosphere the stadium is full. It's bursting at the seams It's fabulous to see the atmosphere is red hot and the introductions particularly for the Polish riders and particularly the home Polish riders was Fabulous and it's great to be back in Wroclaw if it's a smashing city and The stadium has been re-bamped two years ago for the world games. It's in tip-top condition track looks good Everybody's here thoroughly looking forward to a great night of speedway racing Rafters. Yeah, this home straight really is a sight to behold Main grandstand here in the Olympic Stadium Reminders we head into tonight's meeting side looking off the new deck and that's a cool level At the top of the world championship on 47 points a piece. Let's go racing Yes, a beautiful evening here in François van here is your line up for the first race of the night Patrick Dudek goes off the inside gate one of three riders leading the world championship Matt Isegar goes off to Freddie Lingren goes off game three and Emils Seifu Danalfu Top qualifying last night. He's off the outside gates and he too is on 47 points in the world Championship if the atmosphere has anything to go by in this magnificent stadium tonight kelvin Tatum Well, the racing should be terrific. It's gonna be red hot We're as you say we're bursting at the seams with people and the atmosphere is fabulous We've got a terrific line up everybody's turned up after the racing yesterday Of course that word rather is missing from qualifying But the man on the outside and heat number one joint leader of the world championship with the man on the inside So I put it off right in out of his skin right now Christa Gardell from Sweden is our referee with his finger on the button. We're about to go racing here we go It's a good start from do that watch out for Saifutinoff around the outside. Oh, how easy to make that look that was textbook from Saifutinoff Now do that tries the inside run We've got a good race on already at the start of the night here in Brotswab and it's Saifutinoff on the outside I'll tell you what do that needs to be careful I just wondered whether both his wheels were kissing the chalk on the inside of the circuit there Very close indeed great stuff from Saifutinoff track slick in the opening race Just caught do their cows caught them all our natural bank. It's greasy on top of the surface Coming on strong say go now beginning to wind it on right around the outside So I put enough to settle nicely nice move from Lingon But then do that respond to hanging on you can throw a blanket over the second third and fourth riders into the last lap So I put it off out in front so you go working hard around the outside Desperately trying to get amongst the points, but so put it off got it in the opening race Yeah, he's written a textbook race here He's swept across beautifully and I'm also thinking off in the form of his career Opens up with a victory second place Patrick do that very close for third between Freddie Lingren and Matty as a guy we don't need to see replays of course because the bikes have got Transponders these days in the Grand Prix series and I can't tell you by the way that there have been two or three Borderline decisions on the line this season where referees haven't needed to look at replays Because the timing mechanisms make it obvious. So there you go another step forward for the sport That will say put it off the winner Patrick do dex second Freddie Lingren was third and Matty and Zegar on the back of side food enough with three points Leads a world championship by one point now over Patrick do that Yeah, this is an interesting first race track was slick a little greasy and So I put enough just come sweeping around the outside of the opposition He nearly then gets suckered by do that because do deck then charged up the inside But there's no doubt about it that the track is gonna come to the riders both wheels Just touched it though nice the wheel was over the line just touched it So they'll get away with that do deck very nearly losing it there as they enter the first corner for the second time But so I put it off gently pulls away It was a good moment from Freddie Lingren and it was a tough scrap for second third and fourth But so do deck prevailed Lingren hanging on to a third place with Zegar dropping back to the inside decent opening race But I think there's much much more to come. That's for sure. Yes outside food and off the Man of the moment winning the Speedway of Nations a couple of weeks ago in his home country What an effort of course it was a spectacular effort and they won the Speedway of Nations here last year Russia on this very track When they broke Britain's hearts With a last a gasp of victory Number two is coming up There is a huge roar for the man off the inside who rides for the Brotswaf team here in this Olympic Stadium. It is Ty Woffen and the reigning world champion He's missed two rounds of the series with that vertebra injury night practice here last night Look pretty comfortable. He did he topped the time sheets after his opening gambit in the qualifier He will be feeling a touch nervous I'm sure he will be he's got the backing of this stadium He's off the inside max in driving lots of support for him as well the former world under 21 champion wild card tonight Sonia live back from Sweden is off gate 3 in the White Helmet and Niels Christian Everson of Denmark Going off gate 4 in yellow all eyes on Woffendom raving champion three times world champion He's come back earlier than many expected Here he goes Number two Woffendom wants a top eight finish this year now. That's his target doesn't want to rely on a pig And away they go from the spark star Who's gonna make it Woffendom now allows the drop of the inside for Dramik to challenge him and Everson around the outside It's very tight down that back straight and Everson Lovely run from Niels Christian Everson Dramik is in second place right now Woffendom is trying the outside run of his home Dramik up the inside Charging hard but Everson will be down Dramik a superb move up the inside early doors to get the better of Everson Now Woffendom is riding off hard round Just running out of a little bit of attraction Dramik who was so quick and free practice yesterday leaves the door open for the inside move Everson coming back at the world champion Fabulous race in heat number two the wild card the former of the 21 world champion Leads the world champion. Yeah, Dramik's on his way to victory a dream star for him Woffendom is gonna hold the inside line for second spot here to Brotswap 1 2 and Everson 3rd After leading the race there this stadium is erupted erupted into a sea of noise That was great speedway to tell me heat number two proper speedway in heat number two Action burst into life for two home riders. Dramik has been in terrific form of late with superb yesterday certainly looked very comfortable in practice the wild card and That was very knew exactly where he wanted to be Decisive move on the opening lap. Dramik the winner with Woffendom second Everson third lin back at the back and in his comeback after two months out of action Woffendom was involved in a proper speedway race there. He was indeed We'll see it again He makes a good fist of it initially but elects to run wide in the first corner not quite sure finds himself in a little bit Of no man's land Drabik then decides that he just wants to hug that inside line Everson there initially has hit the front but this inside line works well for Drabik and that quite clearly was Some local knowledge is no doubt about that talking to Max Frick's crew. They did say first four First four races quite possibly they will hug the inside Woffendom and then Electing to do something very similar and comes through into second place actually has to get off the gaffer gas at one point because Nearly running the back of his team mate, but this is one hell of a speedway race And I've got to say that the action is burst burst into full view at this very early stage of the Grand Prix Super stuff a promising start. I think it's fair to say encouraging the action Yes here in Wroclaw this evening Maxim Drabik superb ride and from the extra of course Well, the current world under the current world under 21 champion is Polish as well Yeah, they're coming from all over the place. They are they have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to youngsters And we saw the two reserves here track practicing yesterday as well, and they were mighty quick They were certainly not outclass whatsoever. So they still are producing plenty of talent We've got much more time to watch and hit number three Absolutely right, and we have Max Frick who rides for Wroclaw here right for the Bellevue aces in the UK Be back there on Monday in the UK racing Artem Laguta going off gate two Bartosz Marshalik goes off gate three in white And it's Janusz Kowarty Going off the outside in yellow a Grand Prix winner this year Kowarty But surprisingly outside of the top eight despite that Grand Prix victory Earlier this season where in round five of ten here this evening halfway stage of the world championship Here we go with team number three And away from the start and who's gonna get there will it be Frick off the inside gate He's there at the moment watch out for Smarshlik in white though Smarshlik's going around the outside in the big run Is he gonna get the power and the speed? Bartosz Smarshlik in white lovely run and riding quite beautifully there and Frick's all over the place He's been going to the back here Kowarty Kowarty now Smarshlik repacks the goal Happy in all again Frick's gone from first to last at the end of the first lap bitter disappointment for the homerider Smarshlik out in front now Kowarty sweeps around Bartosz Smarshlik what a performance from him Of course he won the Polish Championship very recently as well winning him The Grand Prix in fine style into the last lap Kowarty enjoying the slick conditions in his opening ride With Smarshlik desperately pushing hard in second Kowarty wants a top eight place no doubt about that Smarshlik's gonna try the outside run to the line, but Kowarty has ridden a really clever line It's a Polish 1-2 in heat number three Max Frick will be gutted about that made such a good start It's quite good this you know. Yeah, it's a good start. It's quite good Max Frick will be gutted about that after leading the race, but then ending up in last place He's a Vroclaw rider of course, so be disappointed with that, but Kowarty and Smarshlik Oh goodness me it was exhibition speedway Kowarty the winner Smarshlik second leguta was third and Max Frick Trailed it at the back three heats gone here and it has been a terrific opening to this Grand Prix It's a frighteningly good to be perfectly honest. It's been superb The track is slick it's giving up plenty of passing which is exciting stuff Smarshlik Ruthless with collage in the first corner and that allows Frick to dominate it But Frick can't get the speed. He can't get the power to the ground and finds himself Renegated to the back before the end of the last lap He gets all untidy there and the boys just come roaring around the Australian Smarshlik hits the front momentarily But he leaves that door open and collage. They says thanks very much And then Smarshlik replaced the compliment, but collage they just got that little bit more grip a little bit more traction And as a consequence finds a little that touch more speed and is able to Fire himself to the front and picks up a very handy win and his opening ride Smarshlik Of course who didn't practice here He did excuse me. He did both these two boys did of course they did He will be pleased with that and collage They're a little bit up and down in the Grand Prix series, but it started with a nice win Yes, and we're up to heat number four now and here's Leon Madsen in the red helmet color who started as one of three riders Leading the world championship and what a return to the series. He's had Madsen off the inside in red Then we have for the 2017 world champion Jason Doyle as well We have a home rider Madsen Yanovski going off the outside gate There's Madsen a man bang in form of course and they're having a wonderful season and what a line-up again For heat number four here Madsen off the inside and Jason Doyle going off to in blue Martin Vashalik in white gate number three He's having a good season as well. Yes, and Matt say Yanovski outside gate in yellow Well, you know skis not having a great season But what an opportunity of this evening in front of his home crowd to put that straight And come up with a big performance hits and I like Madsen will be a major force here this evening The conditions could be right up his street We go Should be another good race this one Away from the start Madsen has made a good one, but gate one has been good so far Watch out for Yanovski around the outside Madsen needs to close the door has done hasn't left any room there Now Yanovski will try to be blast around the outside home advantage knows every inch of this track Yanovski drops the bike on Madsen brilliantly with a sweet move Second place in Madsen that in blue here is Jason Doyle right now But Calv wanna move a bit of magic from Madsen Yanovski there It's not over no knowledge Madsen isn't out of this but in Vashalik also pushing hard Madsen now chopping back to the inside These conditions will be perfect for Leon Madsen he runs wide now Yanovski chops back to the inside The charge for the line Madsen still hanging on out in front Madsen has been a revelation so far this season winning a Grand Prix and a second and third as well He's out front riding brilliantly here. He comes to take a big tree and his opening right at the night It's Leon Madsen of Denmark second place Madsen Yanovski And third in white was Martin Vashalik Jason Doyle at the back on that occasion, but more great speedway We've had four heats every rider has now completed one ride and all four heats have served up some terrific Speedway so far well what a spectacular start to the event this evening superb conditions riders being able to demonstrate their skills To the very best of their ability and we've seen Leo Madsen do that in heap four Madsen Yanovski Vashalik Doyle and winners so far Saifutinov, Kowadze, Madsen and Drabik They are your race winners after four terrific heats and there's plenty more to come Leon Madsen didn't panic here at all because Yanovski certainly rode superbly well at the the early stages here He was able to get the better of Leon and Coming out of turn four in the opening lap just quite dug in there and just got himself to the front But Leon Madsen, you know when it's pretty slick and smooth He has tremendous place and his race winning time was very fast indeed Despite the fact that he had to battle his way back to the front Real good battle going on for third with Martin Vashalik actually getting better the better of Jason Doyle Who just didn't have the set up here We see Madsen now coming through nicely into to hit the front and as hard as Yanovski tries He just cannot make his way back. So here's the move from Vashalik Round the outside of Doyle who will be frustrated with that just had no answer whatsoever But Leon Madsen his form continues look at that means everything Yes, very much so and it means that Saifutinov and Madsen are level at the top of the world championship on 50 points a piece 2-deck just one behind 49 and well, this is a wonderful occasion a packed house look at that for a shot fabulous main stand here Brand new stand isn't it? Yeah, it's good. It was rebuilt in 2017 every inch of this place was renovated and it really is a wonderful stadium these days Yanovski, Dudek, Wuffendon, Vashalik all ready to get out there Wuffendon of course who missed two months of racing and yesterday was the first time he'd been back on a bike Having a bit of a laugh and a joke with the other riders there Maybe that wouldn't be the case if he was in the world title hunt Possibly not but Tai is quite a remarkable man He remains extremely calm and I think that's one of his main strengths But he has this mindset where he can actually just you know alleviate all pressure away from him by remaining very calm And of course in recent times since 2013 he really has been a dominant rider at this level And that's no easy feat to do to remain so good for so long Plenty of water going down that's done now and riders will be ushered out onto the track very shortly Yes, they're being pushed off immediately And as I say, heat number five is quite a tasty liner Could be a very nice race to win this You could quite a feather in your cap if you can pick up three points here Just a little bit, yeah, a lineup like this it's hard to predict as well So so tough to predict a race winner here Particularly after a grading break as well, it was straight out after heat four You can see the water glistening on the surface that will have an impact We saw that in qualifying yesterday where it just tended to make it a little bit greasy But there's a lot of second places here in actual fact from the opening races I think from memory I think they all came second in their opening races So very consistent but somebody's going to win it this time That's for sure that's going to change very shortly Yes, riders at the tapes, two front 12 riders Patsy Anowski off one and Ty Woffendorf three Two riders who've written this track along, Patrick Dudek off two Bartosz Maastrik off four, couple of Polish riders of course Should be a belter, let's hope it is Heat number five Number five it is, can it live up to the opening four heats that we've seen Where it was superb speedway Patsy Anowski off the inside in red Patrick Dudek gate two in blue Ty Woffendorf gate three in white And then Bartosz Maastrik going off the outside in yellow We've had the track grading, some water has gone down Let's see how the boys perform in heat number five Yeah really looking forward to it, a fabulous line up This is a race to be proud to win, that's for sure A real feather in your cap, you can pick up three points here They really boost your confidence All had a second place first time out So they're in the Grand Prix One or two tweaks to the equipment I'm sure But pride on the line here at this early stage These boys know each other inside out Top quality heat number five Yes this is the top table of world speedway right here Heat number five Almost ready to go Christa Gardel with his finger on the button Green light on and they're a worse Maastrik across from the outside Now he's going to try the switch on the inside on Janowski But Janowski's got the line Janowski's holding the line nicely Maastrik second Woffendorf third But Dudek's threatening Woffendorf as well The lead is with Mansi Janowski Who holds that lead, second place Maastrik He's going to try the outside run Woffendorf is third right now And Woffendorf is closing the gap on Maastrik as well Dudek in the back, good stuff here Indeed it is, Maastrik beginning to wind it on Janowski right round the inside Just a little bit greasy after the grading break Ryder searching for great Maastrik now! Just bars himself to the front Woffendorf is now going to check on as well Can he get the better of his teammate in second place But Maastrik on another planet coming out of turn four And he sweeps it back across the opposition Superb sub from Maastrik out in front Yeah he's hanging off the bike Absolutely flying here Brilliant, Gato Maastrik with a spectacular ride And a wonderful, wonderful victory Janowski shakes his head as he goes over the line He's disappointed with that But I'll tell you what, in that situation You just have to put your hands up sometimes And say perhaps Bartosz Maastrik was unstoppable there That was a stunning ride from the pole Bartosz Maastrik very much in world title contention Again this year and that was brilliant Bartosz Maastrik the winner Janowski was in second place there Ty Woffendorf held on to third under pressure from Dudek But what a ride from Maastrik And he moves on to five points from two rides Great stuff Well that's a brilliant ride from Maastrik And a great race to win I don't think the boys were particularly comfortable out there It looked a little greasy with the surface water But there's no doubt that the racing will improve The more races we get But I think that's why Janowski Is much disappointed and frustrated here He makes a good fist of it initially Covers the mood from Maastrik But Maastrik is brave here He elects to go for the big run round the outside Seeing Woffendorf and just blocking the move From Dudek early on But Maastrik is forced to go wide It pays dividends He sweeps across the front of Janowski Who is then not quite able to get back to the front And that's the second time that Janowski Has hit the front and been passed So they'll be scratching their heads A wee bit back in the pit box But for Maastrik five points out of six A terrific start to his Grand Prix Quite clearly fired up for tonight And we saw him in the Italian earlier today So that pizza quite clearly was the right lunch for him I think he might have been on plaster or salad, Kel Well I don't know I reckon it was pizza himself They were very tasty by the way anyway Eight number six Brilliant, yep And not a superb line up Every race is a great line up And it has to be said That that race number five was fantastic There's been passing in all five races tonight Super It's been that good It's not even taken time to warm up It's just been absolutely stunning from the start Jason Doyle off the inside From Australia of course And no rider has got a point on the board here Work should be done Doesn't happen very often Frick going off gate number two in blue Then it's Mate Zagar off gate three And Antonio Lin back off the outside As Kelvin mentioned earlier Some of the boys were in extra-leaguer action last night It was a busy night With four teams in action Last night in the extra-leaguer And a couple of riders missing qualification last night Seven in total Absolutely, here we go He's number six And it's a good start from Doyle off the inside Get it on! Sago had a shake Sago it's got to go for that I think he'll have to go for that He'll have to go for that He lost control of the bike He did into it Antonio Lin back had no chance whatsoever Zagar just straightened up And we keep our fingers crossed that Antonio's OK Zagar's coming straight round to see that he's all right Nothing intended there whatsoever No, just like He lost control of the bike That's a little unusual Because it is very slick out there But he just got caught out And the bike straightened up Yeah, Mate going straight across to see That Antonio is OK Because that was a pure accident Absolute pure accident It wasn't even a racing situation No, and there's limited amount of grip out there So when you hit the surface You're just going to rush across it There's nothing to slow you down He's up And what's Zagar's Yes, he's sort of on his haunches So let's keep our fingers crossed that he's OK Well, he hit the airfowl I mean, I know it's an airfowl scale But just at the gate there It is an awkward place to hit the gate And he slid underneath it So let's hope he didn't hit anything nasty behind it Helmets off Looks like he's just taking a few moments I think Two deep breaths, I think, Kel Well, yeah, don't blame him Here we go We'll see it again Tapes her up and keep your eyes on Zagar Zagar allows the bike to run deep into the corner It straightens up just a fraction And just nails Antonio on the outside He'll go for that Pure accident And the white exclusion light is on So it'll be three riders on it Well, one of those unfortunate situations in speedway That does happen occasionally It's a shame for Zagar Because he needs every world champion point Well, every point he can get And Limbak is also having a hard time You can see how hard he hits there Just bursts the gate open So he felt the full force of that And as I say, because the track's slick And the bike straightens up As the bike goes down there There's nothing to slow it down And as I say He accelerates across the surface And that makes it really quite dramatic The back tire just digging in And boom Thank God for air fences I can tell you When I was here there wasn't one And it hurt when you hit it But he's okay And that's good news And they'll just get themselves organised So the far end The pits are at the opposite end To the first corner There will be a few moments Before Phil Morris instructs the referee To put the two minutes back on Zagar, of course, will be disappointed Bike just got away from him And now he's going to be at no point From two outings, Zagar So he's under pressure He's going to have to produce some big rides In his next three outings To make the semi-finals No major surprise that we're back here Right, Mate Zagar We can hear from him now After the incident Matt Kiering Matt, he's such an unfortunate instant In that heat You went straight over to Antionio To see if he's okay But can you tell us what happened? Yeah, no, I'm really glad Antonio was okay Because I was just caught up with I don't know, some little rut there Or a patch of a bit more dirt Because I was leaning really back On the bike to gain speed But of course I couldn't pull it back no more And unfortunately I really crashed into Antonio So he had nowhere to go So I'm glad he's okay Okay, and I just saw you talking to Philip What was that about? Yeah, because I only heard I got some warning But yeah, that was a mistake So, okay Tell me, was there just no grip Out there on the track? No, there is grip Obviously I found some So I know it's not funny But as I said Antonio's good I got excluded, fair enough Three hits to go Gotta get better All right, thanks Matty There's still a lot of riders Ahead of him in the race For the top eight And we will reach the Halfway stage of the series This evening Exactly, you're right But the problem is You can ill afford To be throwing opportunities away And it's so competitive You can see there Younowski down there On 28 as well Freaking 12 Of course, Segar was Outside the top 12 So it's very tight A big performance somewhere We'll shoot him up the table But he needs to really Just re-focus For the remainder of the evening Yeah, Matty just saying there He thought he had to hit a run Or perhaps it was a little bit of Drive, a little bit of grip I've got an idea of what it was Because when I did the track Before yesterday There's a distinct difference Between the outside and the inside And he was right on the edge of it Where they've really ripped it up And it's quite ripply And the tar grabbed hold of him there And just the bike got away from him So there you are, a little bit of drama For heat number six We've seen plenty of drama In terms of passing and racing And then thankfully Antonio here In the yellow helmet colour Is okay to come back And take his place in the restart Of heat number six here Of the Betard-Rotswab FAM Speedway Grand Prix of Poland Here in this Olympic stadium With a full house here Enjoying the conditions A warm evening here And here we go with the restart Of race number six Doyle away from the inside Gatiebred makes a good one Now coming around the outside Is Antonio Lindback in the drive Will Doyle leave some room? Yes he will around the outside Lindback, now Frick up the inside Really pushing Doyle hard But Antonio Lindback Just a few moments ago Was in that air fence at high speed Now he's got the lead here And that outside run Seems to be working nicely Passing around the rider On the inside And Doyle under pressure from Frick now here Doyle having to work very hard In second place Home rider Frick Beginning to work things out Antonio Lindback forced to change his equipment He's done it with a right favour Bike's absolutely flying in front And he is certainly utilising The second chance And he's going to win comfortably Barring any issues with his equipment He's out front looking good Doyle is just about Can Frick obey And Frick So all these guys will score points For the first time this evening But for Antonio Lindback This is a smashing way to bounce back From a nasty incident Yeah Antonio Lindback Going to take the check and flag here Down to line Doyle holds out for second spot there Ahead of Max Frick in third in blue But that was a fine ride Lindback doing all his hard work Early on going out into the drive And sweeping around the outside And particularly on that first and second turn Cal, that seems to be the way to go But where we've had that delay The water's just evaporated a little bit And just a nice little cushion of dirt Out there Slicker than yesterday But there's no doubt that he was able to utilise it And he ruled away And picked up a very handy three points Yes, Lindback then the race winner He's number six Lindback the winner With a Jason Doyle in second spot Max Frick was third Matty Zegard disqualified of course But that's a fine win For Antonio Lindback needed that He did, and it was a good time as well, Nige Yes, and he moves well and truly up the standings Remember the top eight If you are new to individual Grand Prix speedway You need to get into the top eight on the night To reach the semi-finals Hear what you were talking about This mid-track move Just allows it to sweep round there A little bit drier surface And all of a sudden the bike cooks up And fires himself to the front And Doyle has to work hard here Because Frick was all over him And there's no doubt that the two Aussie boys Really put on quite a battle for second and third But they were former world champion Just about hanging on Not looking totally convincing They need to work harder To try and find a bit more speed But the spare bike here for Antonio Forced to take it Because the first one was bent out of shape He's actually quite pleased about it Yes, well done that man Terrific effort from Antonio Three points Quite a tough way to do it, mate Yes, very much so Had to pick himself up And dust himself down After that unfortunate incident We're up to heat number seven now We have a couple of race winners Leon Matson and Maxine Drabic Ready to do battle here In this one, heat number seven As we look across the grid Artem Laguta inside gate A little bit inconsistent in the world championship Outside the top eight right now Leon Matson goes off gate two In blue in the hunt for the world title Maxine Drabic goes off gate three In the wild car tonight Winner first time out Very impressively done Fuddy Lindgren off the outside In yellow Yeah, Drabic prior to the qualifying For real was the fastest rider on show And he was impressive In his opening ride Here we go, this could be quite a clash here Heat number seven it is Matson hasn't made the best of starts Laguta has got there Watch out for Lindgren in yellow He comes high and wide around the outside Has he got the drive Laguta just holding on to the lead right now Now Lindgren again in turns Three and four tries the outside run Here he comes on the home straight What a move from Freddie Lindgren Superb stuff And now Matson taking up the challenge Chasing hard after Laguta And Drabic in the back Watch out for Matson in blue now Here he comes Really piling the pressure On the man in red Artem Laguta Some great speedway again here The inside run now Matson switches to the last second Fast himself into second place Don't rule Matson out for the win He's going to ride up against the fence Charging at a turn for Freddie Lindgren again showing Fabulous speed round turns one and two Down the man straight for the last turn He hits the front, brilliant stuff Sensational speedway from Leon Matson From third to first Didn't make the best of starts But has carved up the race Stunning swoop From Leon Matson in blue What a great speedway race that was Leon Matson is at it again What a ride Looked like for all That he was having no chance Fast time again 64.9 seconds He is on fire tonight Really entertaining everybody here Coming through the traffic Lindgren tried all he had there Through everything at it But Matson had the answers Here we see it again What a race Brilliant stuff Initially Liguta from the inside This is a good stuff Nij We had a wonderful British final At the beginning of the week And cranked the Grand Prix Every bit is good so far Liguta initially on the inside Lindgren then utilizing that Little bit more grip on the outside Swoops to the front But Matson who missed the start Just settles into the race nicely Feels the bike working Moves to the outside And now begins to strut his stuff Crafty move from the Dane Just that split second decision To sweep up the inside Then the bike digging in And then the speed is generating Out in the dirt here Well it's breathtaking And Matson once again proving To be a really strong force In the Grand Prix And rides like this This is championship winning form Could we see another Danish world champion After the proud pedigree Of the Danes on the top Step of the podium Could Matson join that illustrious List of Danish world champions Matson the winner Lindgren second Liguta was third And Matson Drabic at the back That time Seven races gone here This is a terrific Grand Prix And Leon Matson has won two Out of two And leads the world championship By three points now over Emil Sajputin off But of course Emil has a racing hand Terrific ride Leon Matson Now we're up to heat number eight After this race Every rider will have completed Two outings It really is A terrific night of speedway Crowd loving it It's a packed house Emil Sajputin off Going off the inside in red Niels Christian Everson Goes off gate number two And it's Jarnas Koate Gate three in white A winner first time out And Martin Vashilik off the outside Yeah another smashing line up Trax really coming to the riders there You could see it They're able to ride On that cushion A little bit of dirt on the outside And Matson used it brilliantly Sajputin off this time Going from the gate four In his first ride He gets the inside gate this time Koate could be a danger He was impressive first time Yeah very quick indeed Watch out for that outside run Turns one and two Sajputin off to make the start Now he's going to go white Will he block the challenge Of the man in yellow And the man in blue And charging through That man in yellow Is Martin Vashilik And Emil Sajputin off Is in second spot right now It's Niels Krushenigas in third Watch out for Koate Koate white switches on the inside Water move from Koate Now Sajputin off's coming back For more on the inside What a meeting we've got At our hands here Have we ever Martin Vashilik sharp away from the start Sensational move from Koate And Sajputin off could do nothing about it Got to say this is a big improvement For Vashilik who is disappointing First time and Sajputin off Tailed off at the back With Iverson beginning to put him under pressure But Martin Vashilik can join a great season Out in front and left to go Koate working hard in second place But you've got to say that Vashilik Has got a great, great lead on here Sajputin off really working hard To block the challenge Of Iverson at the back of the race here But that's a terrific ride From Martin Vashilik in yellow In second place Yannis Koate And third Emil Sajputin off What a race What a move that was Yeah, it was brilliant That split second decision That he knew that there wasn't going to be The opportunity to go wide Chopped to the inside Again 64.7 The track is coming to the riders Drying through those first Those block of races And all of a sudden the boys Could really strut their stuff Great ride from Vashilik Very intelligent rider Thought there from Martin You have to think really quickly Using your speedway race as brain Of course And that was fantastic And here we see Manson now Leading the way on six points From two rides We've had eight races Top eight Make the semi-finals Well, this is what Grand Prix Speedway is all about We have had eight races And we've been royally entertained so far We see the action again In heat number eight Sajputin off initially nicely But finds himself just in the Meat of the Sandwich there And Martin Vashilik makes his move He gets that nice run Round the outside Kolodze then following through And actually the Grip on the outside Coming off turn four is good And then that terrific switch To the inside to beat the Russian Into second place You can't quite get to Vashilik As my colleague said It was a very intelligent ride From him out in front It was required, much needed Because he looked a little bit off The pace in his opening ride Yeah, very good racing indeed And we've been really quite Exciting stuff so far It's a terrific Speedway meeting There's no doubt about that Let's hear from Tye Waffendon On his return to action He's now with Curie Bloor Tye, some good points Picked up there Three points after two heats How are you feeling? Yeah, I feel all right Just chasing the set up It's a lot slicker than it Normally is here in the league I was out after the grading After that one So just spun off the start I was just so good to be back on the bike And you know, enjoyed my first race Enjoyed my second one And just chasing a little bit of a better set up So we can have a bit more speed But you can definitely tell I've had two months off the bike You know, just not quite there With the boys that have been racing Week on week So that would just take a time There's some good battles out there Outside line seems to be working well Is that what you've seen? Yeah, that's pretty normal for here So I tried it a couple of times And didn't really have the set up To get the thing to go So I made a couple of changes And we're just cruising tonight It's a good night All right, thanks, Tony Thank you If he gets the set up Don't rule him out He's got three points That's a reasonable base to work from And he's got three heats to come So a possible nine more points And Wolfenden He'll want to make the semi-finals At the very least Here we see Antonio Limbac An impressive race win the last time But he went from gate four that time He's on the inside this time Yep, so heat number nine it is As we build up to the action Dudek doing a practice start And the riders just making their preparations For this first race After the grading break Heat number nine it is Of what has been a superb Grand Prix so far We are eight races in And heat number nine is coming up Very shortly as the riders Make their final preparations For the next set Of four heats here in Francois Heat nine it is Antonio Limbac going off the inside gate Three points to his name That race win after the Exclusion of course of Zegar Martin Vasulic very impressive Last time out He goes off gate two Four points to his name Patrick Dudek goes off gate number three in white And Artem Laguta off the outside Dudek on 49 world championship points He's four behind Madsen now Leon Madsen 53 points Emel Seifert on 51 Bartosz Smarslik and Patrick Dudek Level on 49 points a piece As you can see from your graphic On the screen Very interesting Dudek He wasn't here yesterday But he got drawn for the first number one pick And of course he will get the track Freshly prepared after his break So again we've had a bit of water go down It's glistening on the surface And that's not easy for bike setup And he's going to encounter that Every time he comes out tonight Five times So let's make and see how he gets on here Needs points though One thing we do know that is working Is that outside run Here we go That's a superstar from Martin Vasulic But Limbac has got there And now here's Dudek trying the inside run Watch out for Laguta in yellow now Oh there's no room there And Limbac just closes the door That was some tough move As Limbac just preserved his advantage there Needing to do that Laguta all over him here Vasulic third now with Dudek in the back And that's a blow to Patrick Dudek But Limbac just about holding on Yeah Antonio Limbac Well this is super soft from him He's backing up that previous win They're running really wide there Dudek's certainly finding it difficult To get a good setup He's held off at the back And this is a very disappointing evening For the pole But out in front And Antonio Limbac has had a disappointing campaign so far He's not be looking much much better here But we like it's going to have back to back heat wins And also Laguta chasing him down The boys chasing the dirt much wider this time And Antonio Limbac nice he's got it Yeah Limbac's on his way to a second successive race victory here Closed the door on Laguta down the back straight Needed to do that Vasulic third and Patrick Dudek Well adrift at the back Looking pretty disillusioned there In the white helmet colour And this could be a defining night for Dudek He cannot afford to let Manson pull too clear In the world title race But what about that fella Antonio Limbac Superb stuff Hit the deck hard when Zegas swiped him And he's picked himself up Changed his bike And he's picked up six points Look at that a second slower on the time nudge Laguta Second Vasulic third And Patrick Dudek A second successive last place Unsignificant point you made about the race time, Kel Yeah it's just over a second slower Than one of the times I saw for Manson On 64.9 65.9 He's chuffed to bits of course And he got there From the inside And fair play to him Because there's no doubt With that greasy surface He was able to just slam that door shut He just got the momentum enough At that early stage He throws the bike in front of Atom Laguta Who is a little bit out of shape With the door being firmly shut Down that back straight on the first lap And as hard as Atom tried He just could not get the better of the Swedish man Who picks up his second win Dudek, yeah, well disappointing run for him Really has had a hard time That pick for him Without doing qualifying yesterday Is certainly back firing And a tough night so far For the pole foot For that man, six points That's a really good return Tell you what, if Manson wins this race Dudek will be seven a drift in the world Title race It's that type of night Which could be a game changer If you like Building up to heat ten Here's Woffendon Who's just cruising along tonight Just relaxing No, not relaxing on a speedway Bike of course But no huge pressure For Woffendon Quite a contingent from the UK Have made their journey over here tonight And a bonus for them to see Woffendon in action Of course Don't forget the British Grand Prix in Cardiff On September the 21st To get on sale right now For the Principality Stadium Five o'clock start Saturday, September the 21st Yannis Kordze going off the inside gate Then it's Woffendon Leon Manson unbeaten so far Two out of two is off gate three And Matty Zegar needs points Yeah But look at the line up against him Off the inside three gates Doesn't get any easier does it It's a tough race That's for sure Manson who's been in sparkling form Can he do it again? He's number ten it is That's a great start from Kordze Now what can Manson do Round the outside here comes Zegar Matty Zegar in the yellow helmet colour Comes around the outside of Woffendon And Manson's got on the inside of Woffendon as well The Kordze right here Manson chops off the front of Matty Zegar That was roofless from the dead Now Woffendon trying hard to get the better of Zegar But the lead here is Yannis Kordze Now can Manson do it again? Well he'll certainly try Kordze having a great night Woffendon's elected to go right round the inside Not sure that's going to work out for him Manson absolutely inspired on the first lap Desperately trying to make his way towards Kordze But Kordze's going great guns tonight Manson running hard and wide in the bottom corner Searching for more grip, searching for more speed Into the last lap Manson again, high and wide Kordze and the Polish fans celebrate And that's Leon Manson's first defeat of the night But my goodness, he closed the gap Dramatically in the closing stages Indeed he did And you've got to give him so much credit Because he's not getting away from the tapes at all Well, was at the back coming out of the last The first corner, excuse me On the opening lap and dived into second place Kordze though, well, good ride Kordze the winner with Manson second Segar was third on that occasion And Ty Woffendon at the back This is what it means, Kordze on eight points Level with Manson, they're looking good now For a place in the semi-finals With a couple of races to spare Yeah, great effort from Kordze Sartney, these conditions are Suiting him down to the ground The inside gate, he gets away Very nicely indeed, that bike He does dig in and go forward Segar, I thought for a moment was going to be How to really make a big move here Gets the better of the world champion Down the back straight Yep, superb stuff And heats a number There we see that move from Leon Manson Just charging through And grabbing that second place It's awfully tight Oh, muchy, Segar there And Segar out of shape, he gets the better Of the champion who certainly It's It was hard for him But Leon Manson coming on strong at the end And Kordze and Manson certainly It was a terrific Terrific run from him But for those two They're working well tonight Just a little bit We move on to heat number 11 here now Yannis Kordze, eight points out of nine We're probably going to see him In the semi-finals a little bit later tonight Here's Smarshlik, superb In his last ride The blue helmet colour here, gate number two And Niels Christian Everson Struggling for the set up according to his interview During the grading break Everson off the inside in red Then it's Bartos Smarshlik, gate two in blue Five from two right Freddie Lindgren, gate three in white And then it's Jason Doyle from Australia Going off the outside in yellow Can anybody stop this fella Everson off gate two He's been very impressive so far And he's very much in the hunt Everson searching for performance You've got to believe that Smarshlik Could well be But there's no doubt The focus of attention Is on Smarshlik in gate two Yep Everson being brought to the tapes By the star marshal here Heat number 11 Very tense at the start Everson has got there Now what about the inside run for Smarshlik Smarshlik gets there He's all over the place And charging up the inside Oh my goodness Freddie Lindgren Almost wiped him out there The lead is with Jason Doyle And then second place Bartos Smarshlik The outside run here is Freddie Lindgren Everson's in red, Lindgren switches to the inside Unbelievable speed We're here again He's come charging up the inside Smarshlik now trying to replay the compliment Pushing on in third place This time Doyle's got himself to the front And the bike's working well Right up against the fence down the back straight Pushing on in front Freddie Lindgren once again Charging hard in second place And Smarshlik has been out, battled here And forced back into third place And Everson's woes continue He is out the back Doyle down the back straight for the last time Can anybody beat Bartos Smarshlik here? Two of them are going to do that Jason Doyle, yes Super right from Doyle Freddie Lindgren in second spot in white And Bartos Smarshlik third It's getting tough out there It's getting ruthless It's world championship speedway No quarter ass door given And who is bravest Bravest battles most And gets the rewards And Jason Doyle there is best rider of the night In heat number 11 from Freddie Lindgren Second place, Freddie was getting involved there Wasn't he? And Bartos Smarshlik That's for sure They came through into the thick of the action Smarshlik was beaten up But an encouraging ride from Doyle And moves on to five points Yeah, that transforms his evening Five points from three rides for Doyle Good ride indeed He's got five from the last two now Jason Doyle Certainly the slick conditions at the beginning Caught him out just didn't have the speed And now all of a sudden Ignition, jetting, gearing They've been working hard And it works nicely Gets the better of Smarshlik by slipping up the inside Smarshlik all out of shape On the back wheel rushing across in front of him Great move from Doyle there in the back straight Charges up the inside Lindgren does something very similar A little later on as well He comes roaring through I tell you what Now if Smarshlik had gone down there I think Dall would have gone It would have been a contentious one But Lindgren does something Have some of that, mate I'm coming through And certainly there was no As you say, no quarter And the concentration On Doyle's eyes there You can see the former world champion winding it on And he's turned his fortunes around Now that was more like it He's enjoying it, he had a great speedway of nations And he's looking now As if he's going to make the semis tonight Yeah, it was brilliant in Russia, Doyle And then of course Australia got the bronze medal Terrific achievement Gives us something to build on as we look Towards heat 12 here Now Emils Seifhutodov needs to try And close that gap on Liam Madsen Madsen leads the world championship By four points right now As we build up to heat number 12 It's Yanovsky off the inside in red Emils Seifhutodov gate two How we cut a four point so far Max Frick gate three And then it's Maxim Drabik Going off the outside Three Vrotslav riders And Emils Seifhutodov Yeah, he's changed his bike You can see that by the transponders He's gone from bike B to bike C So quite clearly not happy With the setup They're going to give this one a run Here we go Seifhutodov has made a decent start To get there on the inside run Here now Emils tries the outside As Yanovsky closes that gap And round the outside Emils Seifhutodov Watch out for the mountain white here Max Frick really having a go now They're all catching up Frick almost loses it Yanovsky now on the inside With his teammate from Vrotslav The man in the back is the wildcard That's Maxim Drabik But normal service resumed Seifhutodov and now watch out for Frick again on the inside Yanovsky just about getting His nose in front Just about getting back in the second place Seifhutodov on this bike Quite clearly in the right decision He's out in front and enjoying a terrific run Frick's not done no nines Is he ready for it again? Oh, so nice On the inside run Well, Yanovsky has Read the move superbly Look at the challenge of his teammate I say teammate in Lig Fichters here in Poland It's an individual competition Don't wish to confuse our casual viewers But what a ride from Seifhutodov Well, it was a good ride And you said it earlier on It's about a speedway brain There's no doubt that Yanovsky Was engaged there on the back straight Because he had it all covered nicely Frick had the speed Was able to block the move But Seifhutodov Seifhutodov wins it That's his second winner of the night Yanovsky's second Frick Drabik who started well But has found life tough since then And Seifhutodov moves on to seven points But the leaders tonight After 12 heats, three rides each Kowabzee and Madsen Quite a lively night, Colt Yeah, I'm enjoying it very much And I think that the majority of this crowd are as well It's been very entertaining so far You see this here Number 12 Certainly it's a lively affair And the inside initially Yanovsky's had a hard time tonight He's solid with second places But he keeps getting overtaken And Seifhutodov quite clearly on that Second bike or the second choice of bike It works a treat That's a great move by Frick there But he can't hang on to second place Just gets a little untidy there And even half a mistake tonight Is punished Frick is able to get back into second place And as hard as the Australian tries He just cannot hang on There's a royal battle here between the teammates But Yanovsky The more experienced one of them Was able to finally seal the deal with the second place And Drabik Well, after a great opening gambit in his opening ride He has failed to score in the next two But for Seifhutodov That was normal surface Resumed for him And he looked mightily impressive Yeah, good stuff from Edel This is the interval if you like Although there's a natural interval After every race Every four heats as a natural interval But quite clearly a little bit more time Taken here for the big track rate Yes, apparently so But I do believe that's I think there was a little bit of a reaction After the last time But here we see But it's just having to be a little bit more patient They're ready, I think this is unexpected Nigel, I do think this is something added On the back of the original track rating Well championship points, Dolly's out here Is in eighth, needs to keep pushing on That's a lovely ride last time Yeah, bad ride first time But five points for the next two rides That's much more like it We've got Smarslik on 50 points Deep in conversation with his brother There on the right And maybe he needs a bit more pizza Just give them a bit more speed Telling me it was pasta Maybe some of that linguine Looked very tasty Whatever it was But Colocce Knight, he's having a hell of a night 37 points, he's in seventh now He's made a significant move tonight Very much so And it's really good to see A man on form like that Shall we say latter stages Of his speedway career Still a young man relatively speaking But shall we say a very experienced Speedway rider now, Giannis Coate But we're building up to heat Number 13, Woopendom watching on Wildcard Out here again as well Heat number 13 on the way next Then heat number 13 After the track grade It's Maxim Drabek who started with a win But then has been Trailed in at the back The young man, then it's Giannis Coate Going off gate number two William Doyle of three Patrick Dudeck Going off the outside gate But Kelv, just for the benefit of our British viewers You notice something different with track prep there Well there was no doubt there was a conversation In the pits and they did some extra grading After the water bowser left the track There is concern about The surface And I do believe that The poles have actually stepped in there And made sure that Some of the material was pulled back over Where the watering had gone on So we'll see how that affects it Dudeck out here has had an awful night so far He needs to pick up his performance Certainly hasn't worked for him Coming out after every track grade That's for sure Yep, so here we go Heat number 13 it is Can Doyle back up his stunning ride Last time out Can Coate continue his fantastic form Here What can Dudeck do off the outside gate Drammix made a beauty Off the inside Watch out for Coate Round the outside but Drammix really held a lovely line And now here comes Dudeck on the inside Dudeck trying the inside wrong Patrick Dudeck giving yellow helmet colour Now trying Patrick Dudeck is sorting himself out And is flying out in front Doing his tail off of the back Drammix looks threatening in third place Coate's form continues But Patrick Dudeck Patrick Dudeck It's a huge race for him Needs the victory, puts him on to five points And Drammix almost loses it completely down the back straight But that's more like it From Patrick Dudeck in yellow Giannis Coate in second spot there And Maxime Drammix Takes third place Jason Doyle pulled up Looks like some sort of issue there Not quite sure what it is I packed up down the back straight And that's this appointment for him after two solid rides The result for this fella Patrick Dudeck bounces back big time A little bit of track grading went on there And that suited him down to the ground, didn't it? He absolutely exploded into action He's had a terrible night so far You can see Doyle just making sure An actual did not finish Is worse than a fourth place So you can understand why he wants to make sure He crosses the line He does so And as I say, is it a puncher? Not quite sure No puncher So I think Mechanical has gone wrong Wrong there, but Super right from Dudeck Just to clarify there What Kelvin was saying about Doyle finishing the race That is better than a retirement Where you don't complete the race And that can come into play in a count back situation Where necessary Giannis Coate now on to ten points Leading the Grand Prix Patrick Dudeck sneaks into the top eight He needed that all right And that's 13 Heats gone, that's more like it from Patrick Dudeck Remaining calm, but it has been a struggle And as I say, coming out after the Track grading every time Doyle is hard on the first corner Look at that shot That is fantastic And as they go down a back straight Patrick Dudeck then switching to the inside And it works a treat because he gets the better of Drabbeck Comes charging up the inside Look at this, allows the bike to run straight Across in front of the opposition And then hopes, keeps his fingers crossed That he can hold that first place He does so Kolodziej follows him through And it's three poles against the Aussie And the poles win out Three abreast down that back straight That really was fabulous stuff With Kolodziej coming through Drabbeck rode hard here Picks up a point for the first time In three outings After a couple of disappointing outings Yep, great stuff 8.13, good speedway Patrick Dudeck with a big win there Five points gives himself a chance Of maybe, just maybe Sneaking a semi-final spot With a win in his last ride We'll see This is 8.14 now Right, there's needing points here Big race coming up Matty Zegar has had a real tough night Tonight, he goes off the inside gate In red, he's not going to make the semi-final Matty Zegar still needs points On his own track Six points so far Niels Krzysztofimisyn of Denmark G3 in white, and Artem Leguta Outside in the yellow helmet Colour four points to his name So, Inovsky off two, Leguta off four They really do need points If they're going to progress through to the Semi-finals here In Wroclaw tonight This is he number 14 Coming up here And that's a good start from Inovsky off two Watch out for Leguta now in the yellow helmet colour Around the outside, down the back straight Leguta, he's got past Iverson Now he's going to dive into that third turn Inovsky needs to take him wide But Leguta hanging on Zegar is third Leguta not giving up But holding that line It's the home rider Born and bred in Wroclaw Matty Zegar What a ride he was He's had three second places tonight He's been passed every time he's hit the front He was determined to clock that move From Artem Leguta this time And so improved He's down the pit end of the track He's out in the dirt, they're queuing up behind him They're into the last lap Artem Leguta working hard in second place But this will move Inovsky onto nine points And surely the semi-final beckons For the home boy Yeah, this is a huge result What a ride from Matty Inovsky Flags being won In the UK And here he is on home territory That is a big result for him, Kel Huge moment in the evening for the home boy Crowd have gone mad Absolutely delighted with that He wins his first race on the night Moving sweetly onto nine points Inovsky super in front Yeah, Inovsky the winner Closed that door on Leguta Just as Leguta looked like Absolutely no way through Inovsky moves on to nine points Now he'll be in the semi-finals And that was a terrific ride From a man who does need points To give it to the Toppe It hasn't been a great season for him That injury at the beginning really curtailed His momentum, big style You see him here, he's had a gate number two He gets the better of Zaga, hugs that inside And then Alex to stay there Pretty much and trust the fact that He will have just about enough grip The speed down the back straight, Leguta Look for all that's set to go around The outside here But Inovsky pushes hard In this bottom corner And the Russian just runs out of room here That was tough on it But you've got to be tough tonight Because you hit the front and all of a sudden You can really stamp your third He's had to come out of the throttle there A little bit untidy, tough speed That's what we want to see Inovsky out in front We'll have a big say into the outcome of The Grand Prix here this evening And for the first time, the homeboy wins the race Clearly pleased Tough way to do it, mind, but There we go Pretty solid, nine points, one race to come Yeah, just a quick mention by the way You mentioned it earlier on the night, Kel That we were at Manchester on Monday In Bellevue For the British final, it was a great night Terrific speedway and a big congratulations To Charles Wright, who's the new British champion, it's a fairytale story For Charles, and he will be the wild card At Cardiff, riding alongside The lights of Matty Inovsky, Patrick Budeck and Leon Mattson on September the Twenty-first, the night Of Charles Wright's career And it's a five o'clock start, tickets On sale right now, make sure You get there to the Principality Stay here, right, heat 15 here In Wroclaw, Martin Vashalic On the inside, five-point Needs points here, Soda, Freddie Ligren Frick on three, Ty Woffenden Off the outside of his comeback Meeting here tonight And now that's a good start from Vashalic Now, what can Ligren do as Woffenden tries To come through the field But charging hard down the back straight Is Frick in white, now Woffenden comes up It's a third, they're all bunched up here But this is a terrific ride from Martin Vashalic Woffenden looking over his shoulder Really challenging hard, tries to block The challenge of Ligren, but then They're all over the place in terms of exchanging And now Frick at the inside, coming on strong! Martin Vashalic just about squeezes him up Certainly Freddie Ligren throwing The bike across in front of Woffenden Woffenden now coming back through Into third place, Vashalic round the inside Frick working overtime Round the outside, roaring down The back straight, Vashalic Just about controlling things And of a scrap for third place as well Into the last lap, Frick Stretching the throttle cable Right round the outside, can he make it work? Oh, he's gaining ground here This is one last throw of the dice He's going to try and kiss the air vents here He's gone so wide into the dirt Now the inside switch for Frick But he's not quite going to get there That's a clever ride from Vashalic And second place, Max Frick Third place, Woffenden gets the better Of Freddie Ligren there Terrific ride from Martin Vashalic again in red Under serious pressure Max Frick, who knows every inch of this track Oh, super stuff Martin Vashalic, well, once again Riding so well, so intelligently Out in front, hanging on Because Frick threw the kitchen sink At him, just a bit Vashalic the winner, Frick second Woffenden was third there And Freddie Ligren at the back That's a blow to Freddie, because now He's outside of the top eight With only one race to go And can miss out on the semi-finals Woffenden won't make it, but of course It's his first meeting in two months Well, exactly It's a Grand Prix So it's quite hard It's easy, this Grand Prix business Have a chat with him afterwards to see what he says No, I'll give that to us OK, Martin Vashalic out in front Max Frick rides very well in second place I thought for a long time that he was going to get to the front But credit to the Slovakian rider Because Martin Vashalic has Red and a Stormer and he's enjoying a good night Now Martin Vashalic, he moves on to eight points From four rides A couple more points to be handy in his last one Frick now switching to the inside I thought for the world he was going to get up the inside Of him, but Martin Vashalic shows great Composure here Sweeping back across that look at this This is smashing stuff And just shows you how brave you've got to be To be a speedway rider And on a track like this it really is breathtaking Stuff out of a battle for third And finally gets the better of Lindgren Had to be quite forceful there And yeah, I'm coming through And he steals third place away But Martin Vashalic Well, yeah Consistent third win, third win Well, it's eight points That's the The two wins are handy Nice aren't they So this is a big race Seat number 16, every rider will have completed Four outings after this one Bartosz-Marslik off the inside In red here, six points Needs, points here So does Antonio Limbakov two Emel Saifutinov bounce back with a win He's off gate three And Leon Manson eight points Out of nine, the top two riders in the world Standings Manson on 55 And Saifutinov on 54 Right here, off gate three and four Brilliant Bartosz-Marslik Off the inside as well Oh, movement! Spread lights on Christa Gardel the referee First time he's really been pulled into it Certainly action there on the start line Antonio Limbakov was moving But it'll be interesting to see Who actually gets the warning here Might be Saifutinov I thought it was the outside gate three Maybe Emel Yeah, there's no doubt that Antonio Was rolling a little bit But Emel Was looking across With Saifutinov, isn't it? Did he touch them first one of the night? Yeah, just a little bit Nervy on the start line Hell of a lineup, of course Because Leon Manson has been outstanding And the two minutes is on And Phil Morris will deliver the warning From the referee to Emel Saifutinov I don't think anybody can argue with that Emel doesn't look happy with it, does he? Can't believe it I don't think he had any complaints at all No, he did jump on the start And Antonio Limbakov did have A little bit of a movement Emel was looking the other way, wasn't he? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's nothing to do with him There's no doubt that it was a Nervy start because it's a hell of a race Those tellering floodlight pylons That have survived the redevelopment here They have, they are the original Barlands that were here in 1936 Wow When this stadium was built originally To be the sort of back-up to the Berlin Olympics stadium It was never actually used But quite handy It was built because Speedway came in Those floodlight pylons remind me of my old Subuteo floodlights Do you have Subuteo calp? Yeah, I do have a Subuteo But I wasn't any good at it, mind I just got bored with it and just kicked it All over the place, I think Beautiful floodlights, I'm in love with them Okay, you know Something every day, I really didn't know That about your nice, but I love old-fashioned floodlight pylons Never mind all these football grounds that have Lights in the grandstand room I get the feeling they've had some new bulbs I think they might have done since 1936 Yeah, they've moved on since then I think they have, this is quite a good lineup It is, yeah, yeah, Schmachslick Lindbach, then it's Emel Seifutinoff, then it's Leon Madsen off the outside in yellow Here we go, heat number 16 Emel's got to behave He's on a warning and he's been left standing There are the stars, Schmachslick has got there That's a good start from Bartosz Schmachslick, now what can Leon Madsen do Seifutinoff's in the mix now, charging hard Coming through, here comes Emel Seifutinoff, high and wide into The dirt on that turns 3 and 4 in the white helmet cut up Oh, Madsen, just the pound Of the mid-smashslick And here comes Emel Seifutinoff Seifutinoff down the back straight He's passed one Schmachslick was ruthless with Madsen there But that slowed the race down And Seifutinoff was able to pound Brilliant move from the Russian down the back straight Schmachslick's back in second place Madsen was beating up there Big time but certainly Seifutinoff, what a move Well, he didn't make a start At all, Emel Seifutinoff I said he was left standing, not quite But my goodness, he picked one off He picked another one off And now he's going to take a big, big 3 points here And put him onto 10 points Emel Seifutinoff, he number 16 And that was some speedway race Special speedway there, speedway out of the top draw From the Russian down the back straight The shenanigans between Madsen And Schmachslick just killed Their momentum left the opportunity Open and Seifutinoff pounds a stunning Move down the back straight from him Superb stuff from Seifutinoff once again Running out of his skin tonight Yep, and he's onto 10 points And he'll be in the semifinals No problem there Third place to Leon Madsen Here's the standings after four rides each Now look how tight it is for that eighth spot Leguta and Limba just about Hanging on there Seifutinoff on 10, Madsen on 9 Dudek outside the top eight right now And we'll have heat 17 Very soon Well I gotta catch my breath here A little bit nice because this was quite good And we'll see it again As you say He didn't make a very good start did he Emel He missed it out He had to sit still of course He's got the warning and he missed out Schmachslick initially has hit the front here With Madsen electing to ride on the inside as well But watch Schmachslick here He just carves up Madsen there Big time going down the straight That just slows them up He needs the door wide open And here comes Emel Roaring off that wide line And crikey did he generate some speed He flies to the front Here he comes Spectacular move We saw him do this in the final of course In Hulslawik something very similar indeed And that sealed the deal that night He really is on a wonderful run of form Calm these days What a lovely fella too And could it be his year He's looking like a champion Of course there's a lot of racing to go But recent weeks Have certainly proved to be very successful For Emel Saifutinoff So heat number 17 will be coming up And it is a big race indeed For Patrick Dudek and the red helmet killer Who is in that title race Is what five points A drift of Emel Saifutinoff We go to Malilla in a couple of weeks time The Spectacular racetrack there With big wide open banking Just hope the weather behaves itself You know because you're right It is a fabulous track But often we find that we get rain there So we keep our fingers crossed that that stays away And we get a great run through We will do if it's The weather behaves itself We'll have a look at the championship points Here we see Putinov's now of course Neck and Neck with Mattson That's him coming out for his fifth ride now Looking to try and Once again to lead the way Smalslick solid with eight points But Dudek you've got to say Is hanging on by his fingertips tonight If he can finish on eight points That will be salvaging the very best From an awkward night I don't think they've enjoyed it Coming out after the track rating each time That has presented problems But last time was Really impressive So can he Produce something similar Like yesterday And of course he was Handed that draw He didn't have a choice So I possibly wouldn't have chosen it So As Enjoyed the best But you can say that Leon Mattson Wasn't here either He's enjoying a better night than Dudek Yes and these Grading breaks are longer than normal Has to be said They're helmet and goggles on for quite some time Just waiting to be pushed off And here they are now Leon and Mattson On nine points Two wins a second and a third So he will go into the semi-finals Whatever the outcome here But the big focus will be on this fella Patrick Dudek He's already up at tapes He wants to get on with it He's had a tough night Dudek He's had a second two last A win last time So he'll be hoping the inside gate Proves to be a winning one this time Nudge Yep, heat number 17 And the final round of four heats before he moves it Moving to the semi-finals It's on the way With heat number 17 then Patrick Dudek Going off the inside Win or bust for Dudek it seems here Leels Christian Everson just a one point To his name tonight He's at nine points so far He's off gate Max Frick off the outside It's not quite sure that gate one Is all that right now He's going to be tough for him He's going to make a big decision Does he just come into the inside run And hope that he can get enough speed Coming off turn two Because they do come at you hard Coming down the back straight from the outside Plenty of track grading going on Of course we've had an extended break once again Just going to see how it works out It worked out a lot better for him last time Certainly did He hit the front and stayed there But Leo Madsen is a major threat Madsen coming from gate three Got beaten up last time by Schmarzlik And Sibutinoff looking to bounce back One point out of the lead for the championship Wants to leap frog Sibutinoff Going into the semi-finals Yes, here we go then With race number 17 New trace for Dudek off the inside gate Here in Proslav It's round five of the Speedway Grand Prix The world championship series Here we go First turn Dudek has made a nice start He can't do much more than that And he's just going to hope that pinning the inside line Does the job Now Madsen is coming on strong Leo Madsen going out wide Piling the pressure on Dudek holding on the inside line right now And now Madsen will come on strong again Leo Madsen in white He goes out towards the fence Has he got the speed? Has he got the drive? We know he's got both Will he get there? Madsen hanging on and trying to come Just about getting up the inside there Patrick Dudek riding out of the top draw There's Madsen was finding it on Coming from the outside Even some back in third and Frick out the back Patrick Dudek showing great character here Bouncing back With two super rides Is a stunning ride from Patrick Dudek And the serious pressure Madsen second Coming down to the line Evenson gets a point in third But that was a huge huge ride From Patrick Dudek Under pressure from Madsen Dead right Nigel He needed to deliver and he does Keeps himself well in the hunt Two wins in his last two rides Certainly bounced back to top four Superb ever for Madsen Back here got time but Dudek Top draw stuff from him Dudek from Madsen from Evenson from Frick and Leon Madsen Now on 11 points from Five rides couple more points to his World championship tally Is a point ahead of Seiflutinoff in the world Title race and Dudek now That is a huge huge result For Patrick Dudek In the red helmet color Off the start and he commits to the inside I said he had a decision to make He clearly made it Trusted that he would just have enough speed The boys with the freshly prepared track Had to go very wide indeed The middle of the track very greasy After the water that's gone down But here you see two Clearly distinct lines Madsen going for the outside Dudek then realizing he's gonna have To block the move kill the momentum That was the moment that sealed the deal You're dead right Nigel And Dudek read it well That timing was perfect Evenson in third place Frick desperately trying to get amongst The points but Dudek there That was a very clever ride Difficult conditions but certainly He proved that he was Able to come up with the goods Back to back wins might just be Enough might be Yes terrific stuff from Patrick Dudek eight points And puts him into the top eight Tonight And he's at level on eight now With Vaculik and Smarslik And here is Bartos Smarslik And he's off gate one as well Like Dudek was in the previous race He'll need to produce something similar here Zagar with Some last minute bike work here Just changing the ignition Less than 30 seconds To be up at stage ready to go It's been a desperate night for Zagar Just got two points from four rides Got that exclusion of course No it didn't Hasn't really got going So just making a bit of a tweak So he's set up coming up to take He's there now Yes here we go with the line up then Bartos Smarslik on the inside gate Eight points to his name Scores here he'll be in the Certainly final Zagar And Vaculik on eight points as well Here we go he's number 18 And away from the start Smarslik's made a good one Now watch out for Vaculik in yellow As he goes high into the dirt And coming through in white They're all bunched up Smarslik has been moved to one side He's in the back now Smarslik in the back of Vaculik And now Smarslik For the first two laps Magic Vaculik momentarily again Oh Smarslik where did he come from there Well he turned left on him He did A very wise move from Smarslik to turn left Speaking way to all about that Smarslik into the last lap Has ridden out of the skin to get there Vaculik steady in second place But Smarslik can move on to 11 points now He's into the semi-finals Martin Vaculik is Joining him as well And Drabik who led the race Early on has finished stone last Can you believe it Unbelievable speedway Unbelievable stuff Dead right Smarslik and Vaculik putting on a fabulous show there Ryder's really having to dig deep Think on their feet effectively Because you've got to go inside Outside Desperately trying to stop the run And momentum of the other Ryder But Smarslik this time with that Stunning move hits the front Picks up a big win there Yeah level on 11 with Mattson now At the top of the leaderboard But Saifutinov and Kowadze In 10 and they have a race in hand So Smarslik and Mattson lead on 11 All about getting in the top 8 Remember And it has to be said That it's looking good for Dudek to sneak in After that win in heat number 17 Yeah that could be Martin Dugu so possibly could leapfrog him If he wins his last outing But we'll wait and see Here we see the first corner again Of course Smarslik now drifting across the track Finds himself swamped With riders as they get down to the end Of the back straight he comes across here Look at that brilliant stuff Martin Vaslik just able to switch His line to the inside at the vital moment Drabik hits the front but he can't stay there He gets relegated to the back Martin Vaslik there working hard Here we see it again But incredibly Smarslik goes from last to first In less than half a lap there That really was stunning stuff Martin Vaslik then into it On the back wheel it's all action stuff And Smarslik then really Is having to work hard here Because he comes off the outside And then sweeps across the front Here we see it Going to that first corner for the third time A great effort from the pole Martin Vaslik riding strongly as well Disappointment for Drabik But Smarslik 11 points He'll be pleased with that What a night here in Bratwab Sensational speedway Great stuff from him Third in the world title hunt Right now on 55 Level with Dudek Right now there are three points In fact four points Separating the top five in the world Brilliant Lindgren inside Kouade off two What a night he's had again Yanovsky off three Delighted the crowd Antonio Lindback we've seen glimpses Of the best of Lindback tonight He's off the outside in yellow Some atmosphere here by the way And here just confirmation 58 Madsen Vaslik in fifth On 54 Four points between five riders In the world title race This is brilliant stuff He's 19 Away Into that first turn Lindgren has got there Now Who's going to make the first move Out into the dirt Kouade is giving it a real go Now here comes Lindback on the inside Kouade charges through He's looking for the gap At the inside here Madsen Yanovsky But Kouade has that lead Magnificently here for the pole Superstuff again from Kouade Ginovsky's working overtime They were charging his name As they build up for the race He's come through pretty Lindgren another big move from him Antonio Lindback replaced the compliment Back up the inside It's all action here It's all going on And they're all in it Unbelievable stuff once again Kouade's having a great night It's tough to be way out the back That's for sure But Yanovsky Kouade Into the last lap He's comfortable He's going to win another race tonight Ginovsky working overtime In second place Well Kouade's going to lead The Grand Prix on 13 points With one race to go Hit number 20 That's coming next But Yanovsky Kouade And Madsen Yanovsky lead the way The poles are absolutely Lapping this up tonight They're going barmy In the crowd They absolutely love it Fans of all ages here In Probswav tonight Loving every minute of this What a night for Ginovsky Kouade Producing some stunning riding again Clearly the conditions have suited him Down to the ground And moving on to 13 points That's a fabulous effort from him Yanovsky working so hard For second place And Lindback third And Freddie Lindgren at the back But a tough night for Freddie And here we see now Back into eighth place On seven points But then we have Artem Laguta on six And Jason Doyle on five Going into heat number 20 Just hovering outside the top eight Yeah, interesting to see Laguta wins it And he will then leapfrog him But we'll see this again Spectacular stuff Yanovsky Kouade I'll tell you what He really has got that bite Hooked up brilliantly Initially it's Freddie Off the inside Sweeping across That then leaves that door open And Kolodziej pounces Yanovsky also hugging the inside And he then comes through Into second place With Antonio Lindback Then battling hard with Freddie The two Swedes Really working hard For just for a solitary point Yanovsky He's had a lot of second places I think he's had four Second places tonight And a win So pretty consistent But he'll be looking For a touch more speed Because Kolodziej Well, he is looking like A winner tonight That's for sure Really is going great guns Yes, fantastic speedway And Kolodziej on 13 points He started the night Outside the top eight In the world championship He's now well and truly in the top eight He's not now On 42 points He's gone into the seventh Seven ahead of Matse Yanovsky So a big night for Magic You know To Mr. First round Of course this year And here's a fella Who's missed two rounds Ty Woopendon And what about Emel Saifudonov Going up the outside gate In the yellow helmet colour He's seen Matse Have a great night And go on to 11 But Emel is on 10 And only a point behind Matse In the title race It's Ty Woopendon Got two world champions On the inside gate And then two world champions On the outside From the speedway of nations Ty Woopendon Jason Doyle Artem Laguta And Emel Saifudonov A terrific lineup For heat number 20 Yeah, very good lineup Little champions everywhere Spoilt here, aren't we? This is going to be some race I'm sure It's like Woopendon Looking for a win To top the charts Yeah, heat number 20 Final race of the Qualifying heat city like Woopendon's made a nice Star there On the inside But watch out for Emel Saifudonov Now Woopendon goes wide But it has Saifudonov Got the drive On the inside Woopendon Just went on one wheel There Then has allowed Saifudonov through And Woopendonov Come on Woopendon getting back Into the groove Now here And Emel Saifudonov Tries the inside Switch down the back Straight he's got the speed What a race between These two guys Brilliant staff 2013 All over again When these two boys Went head to head For the title Woopendon of the inside No Won't quite get there Saifudonov Just a bit Ty Ty The third and fourth Woopendon Coming on again In that second place We've got just Over a lap to go Saifudonov in front After the goons are searching To try and get through In the second place Great speedway again Here Woopendon getting drive And speed there Now he's going to try One last roll of the dice Into the dirt Has Emel done enough Perhaps he has here now As Woopendon charges hard But Emel wins comfortably In the end Great stuff From Saifudonov The Russian rocket Brilliant stuff From him And he moves on To 13 points And leads alongside Yannis Koate Going into the semi-finals Tonight That was good speedway Between those two Terrific demonstration Of top-class speed Between two world-class riders And certainly Emel Saifudonov Is riding superbly well Looking for another win This evening Breathtaking stuff Here in Brotslav Saifudonov Woopendon Laguta And Doyle And Dudek Has made the semis Woopendon now Just starting To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through To try and get through but we'll see much more from the champion that's for sure. Let's see Heat 20 again. It's a good initial start from Wuffendon on the inside, but there's no doubt that Emel Saifutinoff is fired up, and it's a terrific display of real class stuff. There you see Wuffendon slamming against the dirt up against the fence down the back straight. It's a little bit of extra drive, but Saifutinoff there allowing the bike to run across in front of the champion. Champion squares it off, hits the front again. It's like poetry and motion, this is. Brilliant, isn't it? Almost like ballet, this is. Really? Yeah, I do believe so, yes. And a strange form of ballet, I would say. It's a stretch, but I'm going there. Loudest ballet ever, of course. Yeah, well, you know, a bit of noise, don't do any harm. But there we go, Emel Saifutinoff, the Russian. Well, he is enjoying a wonderful period of form. It's great when you ride like that, it just seems so easy. Yeah, and he retakes the lead in the world championship. 2.60 points, he hits now nice, that's great. And 58 to Madsen, we see the Smarslik on 55, do next done well, he was looked like he was out of it, didn't he, those two zeros in his second or third ride. Martin Baslik hanging in there, Linguins had a hard night. Kolodzay, though, that's a really good move from him. And Jason Dawg not quite being able to put a really big Grand Prix together at the moment. Yeah, I think Inofsky will probably overtake him with a race in the semi-finals here, but we'll see. And he really is a fascinating world championship, with just a weight confirmation from the FAM jury as to the semi-finalists. It does look as though 7 points will be enough for Limbac. I spoke to you about it earlier, about race wins. And that proves to be very important for Antonio Limbac. 7 points to get into the semi-finals with two race wins for Antonio. We're waiting for the boys just to get themselves organised for the picks, of course, for the semi-finals. It's been a good night of speed, right? It's been brilliant, Kel. It really has been. And now, yeah, it's time to find out the line-up for the two semi-finals. Let's hand down to Kiri. Well, the atmosphere continues to buzz down here as our four riders line up for semi-final one. So, Emile Saifudinoff, when you are ready, you have first pick, and he heads straight for Redgate. OK, Leon Madsen just having a look, just having a ponder at those gates. And he's putting his clipboard down and heading over to pick his gate. Gates two, three or four. Leon is yours. I think he's going to head to Yellow as he says, and he picks, well, he's just having a moment. Just having a ponder there, Leon. It is a tough decision. All the pressure counts on this semi-final. OK, and then he chooses gate four. Yellow gate, gate four for Leon Madsen. OK, Martin Bachelet getting straight in. I think he knows what he wants. It is gate two for Martin. Patrick Duda, that is your gate chosen for you. That is gate three, white gate for Patrick Duda. OK, that is your semi-final one chosen there for you. Just to remind you, Emile in Redgate, Leon Yellow, Martin Blue and Patrick Duda in white. OK, we're lining up our next four riders, and it is Yanis Kalodzi with first choice. So, Yanis, when you are ready, I think he knows where he wants to go. It is Redgate for Yanis. OK, Bartos. Ready, Bartos Smalsek heading over to pick yellow gate there. And then it is a magic, magic. Well, he's got two choices left. Is it blue or white? So, Magic Yanoski, where does he go? Where does he go again? And there's a long choice for him. I'm not sure he knows either. A little liquid back to see which gate. And there we go, white gate for Magic. OK, so Antonio Limbat, the choice has already been made for him. It is a blue gate, too, for Antonio Limbat. OK, so that is your semi-final two. Chosen Yanis Kalodzi with red, it is Bartos with yellow. Magic Yanoski in white and Antonio Limbat in blue. That's semi-final one and two. And we can now hear from Ty Woffendern with Kiri. Well, Ty, just before semi-final one starts, you've come back to form pretty strong tonight. Yes, you know, when you chuck yourself into the deep, and you actually don't appreciate the level that we ride out in this championship when you're mid-season. So me coming in after having a two-month break, it's like, wow, like, these guys are fast. But I'm normally that guy. So, he's a positive takeaway from today. Learned heaps, learned a lot about my own track that I've raced for eight years. Enjoyed myself and the points I scored. I wouldn't have scored and, you know, I wasn't meant to be riding Thursday morning and then Thursday afternoon I was. So, yeah, I'm stoked. Fantastic. Good to have you here, Ty. Thanks. Cheers. Great attitude, and there'll be much more for him to come. Yeah, good to see Ty Woffendern back on a bike. As we build up to the first semi-final here, and then the title race, the leader, Emils Seyfrieden, from 60.2 ahead of Leon Manson. And they are both in action in this first semi-final. Wow, what a line-up. Emils Seyfrieden of the World Championship leader goes off the inside. Gate number two is Martin Abashulik, who's fifth in the world standing right now. Patrick Dudek, fourth in the world standing right now. And Leon Manson, second place in the world championship, two points behind the man on the inside, Emils Seyfrieden of. What a fascinating line-up it is. There's a tough line-up. Not easy to call this. Seyfrieden of doesn't hesitate. He went straight for the inside. Manson went for the outside. Dudek was left with gate three and we saw briefly the stats on the starts. Gate three has only had one winner so far tonight. So Dudek, once again, up against it, but he's done really well to get this far. Martin Abashulik riding strongly as well. But certainly Manson and Saifutinov, the top two in the world championship, going head-to-head here in the first semi-final, head of a race in front of Zeonite. Yeah, it's been a wonderful night of speedway and we have the semi-finals in the final to come here to the halfway stage of the world championship round number five. Who's going to get there? It's a very tight first turn. Can they all stay on the bike? They can. Abashulik is there. And now here comes Manson in yellow. Leon Manson comes through. Abashulik has that lead in blue. Then it's Leon Manson tries the inside run. Now here comes Dudek around the outside of Saifutinov and Manson takes the lead. This is unbelievable speedway as Abashulik comes back for more. Oh, man, Abashulik and Manson, Manson riding superbly well. Manson, Abashulik forcing Manson wide. Does that lead the door open for Saifutinov? Not quite. Head of a race out in front. Saifutinov just hugging the inside line. Will it pay off? Manson, once again, pushing hard. As his chance gone, we're into the last lap. Look how close they are. There's not much in between the four of them. Abashulik and Manson down the back straight. Well, the two up front are looking good at this stage. But in the closing stages of semifinal one, Martyn Abashulik from Leon Manson and Saifutinov takes third. So that's Saifutinov, the leader, and Dudek out of the final. Wow, Martyn Abashulik and Leon Manson through the bike and each other there. Great respect between the boys. Look at that, that's great to see. Superb race knowledge. Once again, Manson just going through it, enjoying the race. We've got a bit close there, boys. We did indeed. We had to just breathe in a touch once or twice. Super racing in here, semifinal number two. Got a feel for Saifutinov, he misses out. After scoring 13 points, scores 14 on the night, but won't make the final. Nor will Dudek. And a lap of honour for Patrick Dudek and Amal Saifutinov. I'll tell you what, at the end of the night, all 16 should come out and do a lap of honour because this has been one heck of a speedway meeting. Patrick Dudek salutes the crowd on the back straight and really had a tie. Woffin and with his lap of honour earlier as well, was superb to see. Abashulik and Manson are first two finalists for the better Rotswaav FIM Speedway Grand Prix of Poland. Wow, what a night of speedway. It has been thoroughly enjoyable, that's for sure. And Amal Saifutinov has ridden very well and he'll be disappointed not to make the final. He's just got trapped on the inside there. Martin Abashulik, great effort from him. He wants to see the replay. Amal doesn't get away well. He spins up on the inside and it's tight and argy-bargy in the first corner between Abashulik and Dudek there. Now there, you could throw a blanket over all four of them. You could indeed. And you see the commitment and the determination from Abashulik to get to the front and he does match them once again, not getting off the line very well, but the speed he's got becomes charging through into second place. I thought for a moment he was going to be able to win this race, but incredibly, Martin Abashulik rides really strongly and he's able to keep the Danish man back in second place. He's talking wide here, Kel. Yeah, he had to. He had to kill his momentum. I thought at that stage, yeah, it was tough, wasn't it? We've seen one or two tough moves tonight, that's for sure. Just respecting each other. Yeah, great racing between the two of them. Safe conditions, really racing close. Great move from Martin Abashulik. He's like tough to bits to be in the final. Well, well, well, Speedway at its best. A wonderful sport. And we love it when it's like this. We had a great night in the UK and Manchester and Bellevue on Monday for the British final. We followed it up by coming here tonight as well. Wherever you are in the world, get along to your local track and give Speedway a try. It's a fantastic sport. We love it. And we're up to semi-final two here. Jarnas Kowadze off the inside. Then it's Antonio Limbak, gate two in blue. Matse Janowski, gate three in white. Can he produce a bit of magic to go with his nickname? And Bartos Smarsvik is off the outside gate in yellow, currently fourth in the world standings. And it really is a fascinating line up here, Kel. Indeed it is. Janowski once again being charged by the crowd, desperate to make the final tonight. Here we go. Away from the start, Kowadze has come there from gate number one. Watch out for Smarsvik in yellow now. He's made it look easy there. He's gone across the outside. And now it comes Janowski off the inside. Is there any way through on Kowadze? The pole's really putting it on the line here now. And Kowadze holds second spot. Smarsvik has the lead. Kowadze is second. Is there a gap there for Janowski down the back? Yeah! Kowadze just losing momentum, leaving the door open. And Matze Janowski took the opportunity and he's through. Smarsvik's away. He's comfortable out in front. He's looking like a finalist, and Janowski, can he hang on to second place? Well, where does Janowski go? He's going high into the dirt here. Is that the right way? No! Kowadze just passed it. Now Janowski's repassed it! Wow! Now Kowadze tries the... Nothing! I'll do it again. Wow! Which way is he going to go? And semi-final two. Oh! Janowski and Kowadze literally swapping places every corner. Smarsvik unaware of the far words that were going on behind him. Disappointment for Janowski in the end. Kowadze, who has had a great night, just hanging on to second place there. What a race that was! And another lap of honour this time for Janowski. Yeah, this will be good. He's a very popular man here. Lives here, of course, born here. He was a spectator here in 2007 when the last Grand Prix was held. And this night... I'll tell you what, the finals got some living up to do, hadn't they? We've seen a couple of decent semi-finals there, that's for sure. Anybody who says Speedway is just all about gate and goal, whoever makes the start wins the race. Not tonight. No, not tonight at all. Janowski's ridden strongly. Disappointed, of course, not to make the final. But for Smarslik and Kowadze, their night continues. Smarslik and Kowadze make the final. Martin Vashalik and Leon Madsen join them. And that will be coming up in a few moments' time. Wow! Wow, yeah, we've had a few of those this evening. And rightly so, because Smarslik was outstanding here, going from the outside gate. He gets the better of the opposition initially here through that first turn, and the bike worked great. But the battle between Kowadze and Janowski is... is genuine world class. They must have passed each other about three or four times that easily. I thought for a while, Kowadze had this all under control. But he then just drifts wide a little bit. I think it's now that's it there. And Janowski's then able to get up the inside. The fair play to Kowadze. He didn't throw the towel in, did he? He came back at Janowski, and it was a hell of a tear up for second place. And the veteran Polish rider, Kowadze, comes through and gets the better of the hometown favorite just by about half a length there. But it was a hell of a duster. Smarslik looking like a potential winner. And it's going to be good to see how he goes in the final. But this scrap for second and third really was good. Janowski will be disappointed. He gets so close. And of course, he would have been desperate to make the final of his home club, but it's not to be tonight. But this is a significant moment for Bartosz Smarslik. He's up to third in the world championship, and he's on 58 points. Saifutinoff is not in the final, so he can draw level with Saifutinoff. And Martin Vashalik also can really close in on the top. It's awfully tight at the top there, that's for sure. Look at it, 61, 60, 58, 57. Dudek's on 55. He started the night as joint series leader, and he's now six off the lead. Yeah, it's an incredible night. But I'll tell you what, if eight or nine points is the worst you're going to do over the course of the season, you've still got a half a chance. He hasn't had a great night, but he dragged it back with those vital wins in his fourth and fifth outings. Credit to him for that. Smarslik, though, this is a move, a significant move, particularly if he can win. But Leon Madsen is still a very dangerous man, and Martin Vashalik is looking really good as well. Tough to call this final. Gate position will play its part, but the overtaking we've seen tonight has been outstanding. And I've got to say, the track has held up brilliantly, and the fans have loved it. And so have we, you know, if it's like this every week, it really is a pleasure to be shouting and screaming about it. It really is. Yes, the crowd in a real carnival-type atmosphere tonight. We are just awaiting news of when the riders can go and pick. In fact, we can do that now. Let's find out which gate positions for the final. Here's Kiri. Well, the crowd's just quieting down after Magic departing for just one sec. Our four boys lined up and ready. Bartos Mazzalik, when you are ready, he knows what he wants. It is a yellow gate that Bartos heads over to. He is in a rush. Indeed, Martin Vashalik chooses gate one, red gate. Okay, Yanis Kalodzi, when you are ready, two more gates left, and it is. He knows what he wants. He wants the blue gate. Which Leon means your gate is chosen or ready? It is the white gate for Leon Madsen. So Martin Vashalik picks red gate. Leon Madsen picks white gate. Bartos Mazzalik yellow, and Yanis Kalodzi has picked that blue gate there. That is your final. Well, an exciting final to look forward to. One or two big hitters just missing out in Saifutinov. And certainly Matse Janowski will be disappointed not to have made it. And Patrick Dudek, but fair play to Vashalik. Kalodzi possibly a surprise tonight, but has ridden superbly well to make his way to the final. Vashalik on the outside there, chose it without any hesitation. He wanted gate four, and he got it. And he won the semi-final nicely from there. Can he reproduce that in the final? Wouldn't put it past him. He's looking for a win, and he's dug in. Leon Madsen in gate three. Another dangerous rider, of course. Terrific lineup. We can hear from Matse Janowski now. Who's your carry? Magic, still not bad. Collecting some of those points. The fans absolutely love you here, either way. Yeah, I'm very appreciated. You know, I would love to be in the final, but I was not enough quick and maybe not enough smart in the last hit, but that was an amazing night for sure. Yeah, for sure indeed. Well, like I said, a good collection of points still keeping you in the mix there. Yeah, that was the most important, collect more points. I can be happy with the points, but if I think about a much better position, I will need to collect much more. So I'll wait for the next round. OK, thanks, Magic. Thank you. But he hasn't done too badly, because Janowski's moved into eighth place in the championship now, so that's a good move from him. Kolodrzej has gone forward. Darlas dropped down, and there's no doubt that it's awfully tight, both at the top and in that middle pack as well. But Janowski has moved forward, and he's more than capable of... With the upcoming Grand Prix, he knows how to win anywhere. So it will use this possibly as a bit of a base to move on from. But the final beckons Nigel, and it's quite a line up. Kolodrzej, I would say, is a bit of a surprise package. But I wouldn't have predicted him to make the final tonight, but he's written very well. And he wins, it's two Grand Prix wins in five rounds of the World Championship. And he's in seventh in the World Championship. He is on 44 points. He could actually catch Freddie Lingam with a win here. So he's done very well tonight. Here we go, boys are on their way out. Push-off time, yeah. Final episode of this evening's entertainment. What a story it's been. Yes, it has. It's been brilliant. The man there in the camouflage outfit will be coming out. Could well be his second win of the season. He's won the Polish Championship, won in Prague. He won in fine style that night. The canny win in Brotswaw here. And a beautiful evening. Boys up at tapes. Terrific final ahead. Yes, it's a terrific line up. Who will be the World Championship leader going into Milila in a couple of weeks' time? We know that Emel Seifudinov cannot just do anything here in the final. All he can do is stand and watch. And the culmination of a terrific night of Speedway is on the way. It's the grand final here in Brotswaw. And it's Martin Vashulik, the Slovakian, off the inside game. Giannis Kovace, can he make it two Grand Prix wins in five rounds? He's off two. Leon Mattson, a point behind Emel Seifudinov in the title race. He's off game number three. And Dato Smarsalik, three points behind Emel Seifudinov in the title race. He's off the outside gate. Well, the three boys on the outside gates are all looking for their second win this year in the Grand Prix series. So it might possible on the odds that one of them will do it. Of course, Martin Vashulik may have something to say about that who rode so well in the semi-final to make sure that Mattson was kept behind him. He's ridden very smart. Hasn't he, tonight, the Martin Vashulik? He's covered all the moves from the opposition coming at him from behind. And he's riding well this year. Elevanada Speedway, we've thoroughly enjoyed it. We've got 65 odd seconds to come. Action pack, let's hope. Yes, it's a massive line-up here in the Grand Finals, the halfway stage. Oh! Has made the start, and the lights have not come on. The race continues. Mattson made a real quick start there. Vashulik has to lead right now. Watch out for Vashulik in yellow! Move from Vashulik like a tall pedo going into turn three on the opening lap. Charged on the inside of Martin Vashulik, took him by surprise. Mattson's out the back. Thought he might have had a roller, but he's penalised himself in the end. But what a move from Vashulik. He's hit the front like he did in the semi-final, coming from the outside. Colotsa back in third place. Can Mattson do anything about it? Can he get himself on the rush road? Smarslick with a win here will be level with Saithukenov for the World Championship, but Mattson's come through into third. And now Colotsa is going to try and return the compliment. One left to go here. Smarslick has the lead. Vashulik is second. Then it's Leon Mattson in third. A point from Mattson will put him level with Saithukenov. Once again, we're going to go into the next round of the World Championship with three riders level on point to the top. It's Barthas Smarslik who takes the victory. Martin Vashulik second. Then it's Leon Mattson third. And that means that Smarslick is on 61 points. Also, Emils Saithukenov and Leon Mattson all on 61 points. A three-way tie at the top of the World Championship at the halfway stage. And it's many congratulations to that fellow. Brilliant, brilliant. Barthas Smarslik. What a knock for Barthas Smarslik. It was a three-way tie coming into tonight on 47 points. It's still a three-way point. Not all the same protagonists, but 61 points leads to the championship. Smarslik's move down the back straight was sensational. He just torpedoed the opposition and fired himself to the front. Mattson couldn't quite get there. Koadsik just misses out on the rush room and little disappointment for him. But joy for Smarslik. What a night for him. Smarslik the winner, Vashulik second. Mattson third. Koadsik at the back on that occasion. Three riders level in the World Championship. But Smarslik is the winner here tonight after a stunning night of speedway in Vrotova. Duot night. I just saw the heat time. 64 and a half seconds. That's possibly the fastest time of the night in the last race. 23 races. That was unbelievable stuff. And the move down the back straight from this man, well, that on its own deserved a win. He was struggling a little bit earlier. I'm not quite there. And you sensed he was looking for a bit more. But the rides in the semifinal and the final really were top stuff. You saw that start from Mattson. I think he was a little bit fortunate to get away with there. But actually, he then gets himself in the wrong place in the first corner. Doesn't really utilize it. And you just see him get carved up. He finds himself there with Smarslik coming around the outside. Vassalik on the inside with Kolozzi. He forces him wide, but this is the move. It is stunning. He just squares it off long, long straight. And here he comes. Martin Vassalik knew what was going to happen, moved out of the way, had to. And from that moment on, there was only going to be one winner. Good scrap with Leon Mattson coming through into third place. Mattson who got just out battled in the first corner on the opening lap. Mattson pushing hard in Martin Vassalik, who has ridden superbly well, and he hangs on for second place. So very tight. 61 points leads the championship, Nigel. But there are three of them on it. Yes, and we have five rounds to go. We move on to Sweden and Malilla in a couple of weeks time. But it really is a fascinating title race. And Bartos Smarslik can hardly believe it. He's absolutely thrilled to bits. Second win of the year, of course. He won in Slovenia and rode well that night. But here this evening has really turned it around. Gorzhov fans here tonight. And he is a Gorzhov rider, of course. And that is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant from Bartos Smarslik this evening. Crowd absolutely loving every minute of this. Nobody's left. And they're all going to watch the presentations. Going to be quite stunning scenes here. And the fireworks, but we've got plenty of fireworks on the track. Oh, crikey. Yeah, they've had fireworks all night. And there's more to come, of course. But there's no doubt that this has been a superb night of speedway. Let's hear from our winner Bartos Smarslik with Kiri. Bartos, congratulations. What a fight to the finish. The fans love you. On to the cheers. Good evening to all of you. I did it for you. And that's what I dream of today. Thank you very much. Okay, I'm Bartos for all of our viewers in English now. What a night. This night is unbelievable for me. But I stand up today on the bed. And I think so today, so no bad day. I'm feeling. And now I'm very happy. Congratulations, Bartos. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Brilliant night for him. Yes. Quite clearly felt that he got out the right side of the bed this morning. That's for sure. And the eggs and bacon clearly have worked to treat. And the Italian at lunchtime has just given him the power and energy to go through and win tonight. 61 World Championship points. What a night. Two points separate the top four. Six points separate the top five. Crikey. Who's going to win the world title, Kel? Well, I fancy Smarslik at the beginning of the year. Yes. I'm going to stick with him. But there's no doubt that Saifutinoff will have something to say. And Leon Madsen is very much in the mix as well. But hell of an artist speedway. That's what it's all about. Can't beat that level of entertainment. And the crowd have loved it. And with a Polish winner, it gives it that added spice and extra special feeling for these people who just love the sport. Great reaction. He's not a home rider. He's not from this neck of the woods, of course. He's up further up country in Gorszów. But nonetheless, this is actually, he's a Pole and actually replaces his Grand Prix, doesn't it? But see, he comes here and wins in fine style. Yeah. Congratulations, Bartosz Smarslik of Poland. Being used to that, we might have to get used to it a lot more if this man keeps that sort of form up. Leon Madsen cocky. He forced his way onto the Rostrum, didn't he? With that move against Kaloczy. The sponsors giving Bartosz just an added gift there. But we've got the official trophies to come now. The place on the night, Nigel. Leon Madsen, consistency, mate. And again, his championship winning form. Madsen's not going away. Another solid score of 14 points tonight for Leon. And it's a great effort from him. Much so. Martin Vashalik has ridden quite beautifully. And it's great to see him in such great form. He's a smashing guy, Martin Vashalik. Runner-up tonight here in Gorszław. Only two points out of the lead. Absolutely, mate. 59 points. Five rounds to go. Yeah, he's in there fighting. He's very much in the mix. And Vashalik, two Grand Prix wins. Joint leader of the championship. Martin there, chuffed a bit. Road last night, of course, Martin. At the Dashacross country to be here today. Vashalik delighted. His name is announced. And here comes the ace, the trophy, President of Brotswaw. Making that presentation. Great city here. Really is a great weekend. Delighted to be here. But not as delighted as Bartosz Vashalik and his fans. No. Who've just witnessed something special. But I think it's fair to say welcome to all 16 riders. Yes. Who've put on a terrific show tonight. Yeah, it's been an outstanding run. Three and quite possibly the best. Chanting his name. The atmosphere still absolutely fabulous. And the Polish fans making their chant heard. Going around this glorious stadium. Bartosz Vashalik. Champagne time. You don't want that stinging your eyes if you can help it. That really is quite uncomfortable. That is a downside of being on the washroom. You get filled in with champagne. Yes. Fabulous scenes though. These are fantastic. Let the celebrations begin. Congratulations Bartosz Vashalik. Winner of the Brotswaw FIM Speedway. Grand Prix of Poland. Great pictures here. Wow. Can't see them. Can't see them. I do hope they're okay. I'm sure they've coped with all seven heats tonight that they've been in. I'm sure they can cope with that. A stunning move up the inside to hit the front. And now the selfie time. Overjoyed. Yeah. Some of them are riding tomorrow. Some of them rode last night. Busy time of year of course. With all the leagues in full swing. Also three Grand Prix in August. Plenty of championship speedway coming up. And Georgie Covnery has always kelp in terrific speedway here tonight. We move on to Malilla in a fortnight's time for round six of the FIM Speedway Grand Prix Series. We'll take a look back at the highlights of the night. But for now from Kelvin Tatum and myself. Thanks for joining us. We'll speak to you in Malilla in a fortnight.
