Polish icon Bartosz Zmarzlik cemented his spot in speedway’s most elite club after storming to a record-equalling sixth FIM Speedway GP World Championship by just ONE point at Vojens Speedway Center on Saturday.
On the night the home of Danish speedway celebrated its 50th anniversary, Zmarzlik, 30, took his place alongside late New Zealand hero Ivan Mauger and Swedish legend Tony Rickardsson in the realm of six-time FIM Speedway world champions after finishing second at the Deluxe Homeart FIM Speedway GP of Denmark – Vojens.
He also became the first rider in the sport’s history to win four world titles on the bounce, adding to his 2022, 2023 and 2024 triumphs, along with his wins in 2019 and 2020.
Australian star Brady Kurtz completed an astonishing Speedway GP debut season by sealing the silver medal after becoming the first SGP rider in the series’ 30-year history to win five rounds on the bounce in Vojens – adding to his wins in Gorzow, Malilla, Riga and Wroclaw and surpassing the four in a row won by Rickardsson in 2005.
Great Britain racer Dan Bewley bagged the Speedway GP bronze medal – his first-ever podium finish in the World Championship.
