 The FAM Speedway Grand Prix Series rolled into Cardiff and the one so many people look forward to throughout the course of the glorious sunshine and it was a festival atmosphere on the streets of Cardiff in the build-up, in the fan zone, and all the riders know what a big event this is in the Principality Stadium and the 19th staging of the Grand Prix here at this wonderful, wonderful venue. It was fast and furious, as always. Leon Madsen made a nightmare start, five points from three rides, this season was in danger of disintegrating. Ty Woepernan was excluded for crashing into Freddie Lindgren and his opening ride, not the most ideal start for him. Martin Vashnik not happy as well, but the racing, well, it was superb as Charles Wright, the wildcard, celebrating four points from two rides and at that stage Charles was looking to try and maybe mount a challenge for a semi-final spot. Madsen came good, started to come good and score points to really put himself in the frame for a semi-final spot, Vashnik the same as well, but for Woepernan just wasn't making the start. Vashnik continued. It was all about Bartosz Marsik as well and the lead that he had in the World Championship, could he defend that lead, could he even build on it? It was under pressure from Seifutinov and Madsen, as we say, has come good. Robert Lambert, the talented British youngster, won a race which is some consolation to him as well, but Madsen continued and the way Madsen bounced back, he won his last two rides in the qualifying stages. Smartswick though, very impressive once again, picking up seven points from three rides and then eleven from five and when he chasing a world title, that was great form from the pole. Edging towards the semi-final spot, Lindgren safely through into the semi-finals, Madsen again and also Evel Seifutinov as a nearest rival to this fellow Bartosz Marsik into the final they go and what a ride from Leon Madsen. From gate number two, he nailed it. Going to Torren in the four nights time, Bartosz Marsik 118, Seifutinov 111, Leon Madsen 109, we'll see you then.
