 It's Scandinavian heavy here with two Danish riders and the sole representative from Australia, Max Frick. Not quite possibly the line-up we expected to see, but nonetheless, a terrific final to finish the night off here in Warsaw. It's been a smashing night of speedway, I've got to say. The noise, the atmosphere, the racing really has done it proud. So it's final time in Warsaw. It's prediction time, Kevin. Oh, thanks mate. It's not an easy call, but I'm going to go with Freddie Linguard, just because of the rollercoaster he's been on throughout the night. Here we see the line-up because of the inside of red. Leon Matsui out of gate two in blue. Freddie Linguard coming out of gate number three in white and off the outside, Max Frick, who chose that. It's the pick, it's the first pick, and it's final time in the Narodovy in Warsaw. I'm going to go with Max Frick. I knocked him off gate four. I knocked him for taking it in the semi-final. I won't knock him this time. No, we can't do that now. He proved us all wrong now. He did a marvellous job. Mikkel Mikkelsen will be a dangerous course he is on the inside. He hesitated. He wasn't quite sure because he made such a great effort in semi-final number two coming out of gate three. So here we see the boys just doing a little bit of gardening around. So Mikkelsen on the inside, Leon Matsui gate number two in blue. Freddie Linguard gate three in white and off the outside, Max Frick. They haven't cracked breath now. They leave it for the final. So there is a little bit of evolution that's gone on in the first two semi-finals. There is a bit of dirt out wide. Frick has used it beautifully tonight. He's got that bike working really well. But Frick also made a really good and clever move on that opening lap where he closed the door on the opposition going into turn three. Gate four just gives you those options. I think that's what he's after. He likes that little bit of extra racing room. Second final of the year. Back in the Narodovy, the pandemic obviously kept us away for 2020 and 2021. It's 2022 and we're back here. One more lap, four laps of action just under 60 seconds. Who's going to win here tonight? Riedlitz on. Takes up and away we go. Mikkelsen makes a good stop and Frick's there as well. Frick's made it from the Australian. He's down to Max Frick. He's brought himself to the front. Leon Matsui. Mikkelsen's down. Riedlitz going to come on. Riedlitz on. I think he took his handlebars. He took his handlebars away. Drama in the final. Somebody's going to have to go now. It's not the first corner. Madsen could go here. Madsen very strong going into that third corner, Chris. Yeah, he was very forceful. I think he may have just taken his hand off the handlebars. We'll have to see that one again. Max Frick must have thought he was going to win here. I think it's the first time we've seen somebody actually get across from gate four. They've made the cutbacks. They've made runs around the outside. But he just went straight across. Absolutely. Fabulous start from the outside. Leon Matsui. No exclusion light on yet, but there will be one coming. We're going to be concerned about Mikkelsen. Leon knows that there's a chance he'll be out there. He's just said he's leaning on me. What do you think? What are your thoughts on that? Need to see it again. I'm not sure if he was leaning on him. It's a final. You wouldn't blame him if he was, you know, but I need to see it again. Well, you can't now. Yeah, here we go, and we can see Leon just coming up the inside of Nicholson. There's definitely contact. But Leon... Leon has got the better of him there. He's got his nose in front of him there, Chris. Yeah, let's just have a look from this angle. I think Nicholson's in front. He's in front. Oh, I disagree with you. No, I haven't looked at it again. I tell you what. If Nicholson went, it wouldn't be a shock, because I think Leon is at this point in front. He's got the better of him there. But he hasn't enabled Nicholson to get in the corner because he can't straighten the bike up. He's going to crash anyway. And the leg is gone. But Leon had nowhere to go. Where was he going to go? He's going to have to go to Centigrade to miss him. Had he overcommitted himself? Look, we could argue about that all night long. Oh, to be a referee. I'm delighted I'm not in a referee this evening because that's a difficult call. And either way it goes, both riders are going to feel aggrieved, aren't they? Yeah, doesn't matter who's excluded. But Leon Batson was just factually in front of him. No, it's gluten, yeah, because the guardel taking his time here. And it's a really tough call. And certainly I wouldn't want to be the one to make it. And it is drama here in the final. Which way is it going to go? Would it be Leon? Or would it be Nicholn Nicholson? They're still attending to Nicholson. Nicholson, we're hearing. I've yet to see the exclusion light come on. So we'll just hang on until we see that to be absolutely confirmed. Still attending to Nicholson on the safety fence. We are. There's a strong suspicion that it is Nicholn Nicholson. But I want to wait. Red is out. Red is out. Nicholn Nicholson goes. Mr Gardell clearly felt that Leon Batson had got the better of him. And Nicholson was leaning all over him. A reprieve possibly for Batson. But a tough call nonetheless, Chris. Tough call. I think at the end of the day he could have gone either way with that one. He really could have gone either way with that one. Someone was going to miss out. And yeah, Nicholson, he did stick to his guns, tried to get into the corner. When he saw the slow motion, Nicholn Nicholson's keblars were caught on the footrest of Leon Batson. And there's no question that kind of pulled him in towards him. And unsettled him half way down the back straight. And Leon Batson, when he saw it again, he really had no choice where to go. He hadn't moved over, he hadn't changed his line. He was just coming past. Tough call, really tough call. Possibly the right one though. I think on balance, yes. Possibly the right one. We haven't come to blows at the Contragox yet. Maybe later in the season we will, but not tonight. We're still friends. We're still friends. We see it again, Chris. What's keblars get caught on the bike on the footrest now? You can see it there. And unsettles him. You see it's almost pulling him off the bike. He turns maybe a little earlier than he wants to. And it's that bit where Batson's back wheel just takes his leg away. You think, well, it could be Batson, but that really was a 50-50 call. Someone had to go. You know what, if he'd done his zip up it probably wouldn't have happened. Just the small things. He should have been old school and had the keblars inside the boot. Certainly. He's been in there for the third two weeks ago. He'll be desperately disappointed. He'll still pick up 14 world championship points, so that is some confidence. And so we have some concerns about Mikkel Mikkelsen. He hasn't made it back to the pits. And unfortunately for him there is some concern about his health. So we keep our... We are keeping our fingers crossed that all is well, then. He's not actually laying down, but as I say, attention for Mikkel Mikkelsen is required. And possibly even if he'd been in the rerun, he may well not have been able to take his place in it because it was a heavier fall than we first thought. I think Max Rigg had made a sensational start. But do you know what? This is a sort of time when an experienced head may just come to the fore. Because Freddie Lindgren has got a second chance here. And Max Frick must have felt that he had this race in his back pocket. He must have felt that he was going to win the Grand Prix from there. As you said, he was the first rider all night long to have actually got across from Gate 4. I think Mikkelsen's exclusion probably is advantaged Madsen as far as the first turn goes. He's got no one on the inside of him now. So it's almost like coming from Gate 1. I tell you what, I don't think he'd been able to be in the final anyway. He looks in a lot of discomfort. I think the left arm is obviously clearly a problem. Phil Morris there, Hans Nielsen on the left there with the red top on. The Danish team manager concerned on his face. We keep our fingers crossed that Mikkelsen I'll tell you what, he's unsteady on his feet, isn't he? He really has taken a heavy blow there, Chris, and that is of some concern. I'm surprised they haven't actually put him on the stretcher and lifted him off, but clearly wanted to make his exit on his own two feet and an appreciative crowd there just applauding him away. Nobody's left, and that's to the credit crowd. They haven't got a representative in the final, but they're here to see it right through to the conclusion. So they've got to re-rub with three riders here. So all riders are going to be on the rostrum as long as they linger and guarantee the fourth rostrum on the trot here in the... Good stat, good stat, loving it. Loving your work, Chris. And as I say, I just got a feeling, I don't know why, but just the sort of thing now with this re-run, he might just pop up with this now, but I'm sticking with Max. Yeah, I can understand that entirely, you know, but starting, mate. Although I do feel that Madsen's been given an advantage now without having a rider on the inside of his... Yeah. It's a little tough hotel. So now it's a shame we haven't got four representatives here, but here we see it's final, and it's the restart. And four more laps of action here in Poland in Warsaw to find the winner on the night. These three riders are guaranteed a rostrum spot, of course. We just don't know what order they're going to finish in. And Leon Madsen just making his way round. It's been a good night for Leon. He'll be delighted to be in the re-run for the final. Must have had his heart in his mouth. Must have felt that it was a good chance he was going to be thrown out of the race. But he's in. He's on gate two. And Leon Madsen has won here before. Knows how to win the final. So second time of asking there. Madsen's in two. In blue. Freddie Linglin will come out of gate number three in white. And Max Frick, in the initial start of this final from gate four. Can he reproduce that now? Often we see riders miss out. Second time of asking, it can happen. To reproduce it again. Hence, I've just got a feeling about Freddie might just do something here. But, you know, if there's any justice, you'd like to think that Max Frick will hit the front now. After the sort of start he made, I think it was the best start we've seen all night. He made it at the right time. He did indeed. Yes, absolutely. So, second down. Look at all that dirt up against the safety fence there. Max Frick obviously clearly likes that. That's why he's chosen to go from there. And he really did get a jet-propelled start last time. Can he do it again? Start Marshall just keen for the riders to come forward. Nerves jangling. Keeping our fingers crossed that this is the last four laps of the evening. A clean run to the chicken flag and the winner on the night. So, here we go. Final time in Warsaw. And there they go. And it's another great start for Max Frick off the outside. He's made it. He's hit the first corner in front. Leo Manson's in second place. Freddie Lindgren back in third. This is out. Max Frick, though. What composure. Wow, what a ride from him. He completes the first lap. Leo Manson's pushing hard in second place. Freddie's in third. But Max Frick looks like he's going to win here in the Narodovy. Yeah, fully committed. He's not riding defensively. He's on the edge of the dirt mid-track and he's building up plenty of speed. It's good to see Max riding like this. The Aussie champion deserves a little bit more than he saw in the first round with two points. He's going to take this one. Fantastic stuff from him. Super stuff for Max Frick out in front. Four for the last three outings. He had no hesitation to take that. He made an absolutely dream start away from the outside. And Max Frick is the winner in the Narodovy tonight. What a performance. He failed to score in his first ride. The Australian champion has turned it on in point style. And a fully deserving win. Had to do it the hard way. Had to come out second time of asking. Had to come out second time of asking. And they will be absolutely as enjoyed. And 20 world championship points for Max Frick. That's the most important thing. But what a place to take a victory. It's his second Grand Prix win. And yeah, playing up to the crowd. Great stuff. The crowd are disappointed in the fact that they haven't seen a Polish winner. But they've seen a fantastic race meeting. They have indeed. It's been a thoroughly enjoyable event. They hold the atmosphere, the track, the racing. It's been a super nice of Speedway. And a terrific pleasure to be back here. The winner on the night, Max Frick, number 46. The team are delighted. Of course they are. It's his second Grand Prix victory in his career. And what a stage to do it on. You can be rightly very, very proud to win here in the Narodovy. What a night for that young man Max Frick. Terrific stuff for him. Such a turnaround in form. His league form has not been particularly good. Obviously a disastrous first round in Goroshan. To come out and ride the way he has ridden tonight. And his night started with the last place. He's turned that around completely. Absolutely. Mikkelsen. Although he wasn't in the final. He's got 30 world championship points. I'm just wondering whether that's enough. I'm just going to do a few sums here. Just to see if that actually puts him in the lead of the world championship. We haven't got that up on our screen at the moment. So we're going to have to do it the analog way. But Mikkelsen had 16 and 14, respectively. So 30 points. Sorry, excuse me, that's 28 points. So he's moved on to this 30 points. So 30 points to pick up Mikkelsen. No, I think he's... So I think that will actually lead the world championship. We'll see how many points that Bartels Smalslick got for fifth. He might be very, very close indeed. So he may well have 10 or 12. So it might just be Smalslick still leading away. Here we see the real one again. Yeah, another cracking start for it. It's always hard a second time around, particularly with the disappointment of having a final that your leading stopped. But he does it all again. He says that bike is pulling his arms out on the way to the corner. He has got everything spot on by the end of the night and a deserved winner. He pulled away in the end from his opposition. And another good night, though, for Leon Madsen. And Freddie Lindgren there just having to put the brakes on us. Into turn three. Leon turning fairly early. Absolutely. Leon Madsen, of course, who is under pressure he might well have been thrown out. He picks up 18 world championship points to add to his 12 that he had in Croatia. So he'll be chuffed to bits with that points haul. He moves on to 30 championship points as well. So it's awfully, awfully tight. It's a tie for the top. I do think that Bartosz Schmarzwick is going to be just in front as we leave here this evening with 32 points and we've got two riders on 30 points respectively. But Max Frick, wow that was some night of speedway for him. I see Thomas Krasinski there celebrating. He's working with Max now. He's spent his whole career with Thomas Gollum passing on a wealth of experience. Seems to be paying off. Indeed it does. Max Frick, this win for him will live long in the memory. To win on a stage like this is a terrific thing to do.
