CELEBRATE FATHER’S DAY WITH 20% OFF CARDIFF HOSPITALITY PACKAGES

Slovak star Martin Vaculik raced to 13 points for Gorzow as they defied a 15-point haul from Torun hero Robert Lambert to win 50-40 at the Marian Rose Motoarena in the PGE Ekstraliga on Sunday.Vaculik dropped just two points to mastermind a huge victory for the visitors, with Danish racer Anders Thomsen adding 11 and ISS FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Gorzow wild card Oskar Fajfer tallying a vital 10 points.Despite falling short of the British Championship semis and finals in Manchester on Saturday, Lambert hit back in fine style by racking up 15 from six races for Torun, with former Speedway GP star Pawel Przedpelski notching nine paid 11. Emil Sayfutdinov accrued eight paid nine.In the day’s other match, an heroic 15 paid 16 points from former world No.3 Maciej Janowski could not save Wroclaw from a 50-40 loss at Zielona Gora.Two-time Speedway GP silver medallist Jaroslaw Hampel led the Falubaz scoring on 11, with Piotr Pawlicki picking up nine, Rasmus Jensen collecting eight paid nine and Przemyslaw Pawlicki scoring eight. SGP rider Jan Kvech notched five paid six.Janowski followed up his second place at Saturday’s Speedway European Championship opener in Debrecen in fine style for Wroclaw, with Dan Bewley building on his third British Championship win by bagging 10 paid 12.

EKSTRALIGA | VACULIK INSPIRES GORZOW WIN

Great Britain shooting star Tom Brennan admits he will be getting a few tips from Speedway GP-winning stepdad Martin Dugard after sealing the <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/rounds/2024-fim-speedway-gp-of-great-britain-cardiff">FIM Speedway GP of Great Britain – Cardiff</a> wild card in Manchester on Saturday.Brennan finished third in the British Championship Final to earn his spot alongside British champion Dan Bewley, runner-up Tai Woffinden and Robert Lambert at the Principality Stadium on Saturday, August 17.Brennan's family knows all about wild-card winners. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-o52C4rHis">Stepdad Dugard was famously called up for the 2000 FIM Speedway GP of Great Britain – Coventry and topped the podium</a>. He also received a spot in the first-ever Speedway GP event at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on June 9, 2001.Brennan was born nearly a month later on July 2 and will have only heard about Dugard’s heroics from his family or the sport’s history books.But now he has a chance to live his own Speedway GP dream in Cardiff and he’s not heading to the Welsh capital to make up the numbers.He said: “I’m in it to win it, as hard as that sounds. Maybe that sounds unrealistic right now, but I am in it for a reason and why not?

“My stepdad Martin Dugard won a Speedway GP in Coventry in 2000 as a wild card. Maybe I will get some advice from him. I’m sure he will give me some tips after this.

“I am going to Cardiff, and it is a dream come true for me. I will do the best I can. I’ll try and get as much experience as possible. To be surrounded by the best guys in the world is an honour already. It’s a huge opportunity and I’m sure these boys will be showing me the way.

“I am riding pretty well right now, so that day in Cardiff is definitely something I can aim towards and go and have fun.”<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/392145/conversions/WhatsApp-Image-2024-06-09-at-00.23.45-large.jpeg"/>While Brennan earned the coveted Cardiff spot, he was a little disappointed not to carry off his first British Championship as well.He topped the heat score chart on 13 points to qualify automatically for the final alongside Bewley, who recorded 12. But Brennan admits his inexperience may have cost him in the final as he lined up alongside SGP winners Bewley, Woffinden and Chris Harris, who was fourth in Manchester.He said: “To have the Cardiff wild card is a huge thing, but at the same time, I wanted to win that British Final.“I definitely gave it everything. I got through those heat races pretty well, but a lack of experience in that final situation definitely showed. Big congratulations to the boys on the podium. They definitely showed me the way around in that last race.“I think the main thing is I should have ridden my own race. I definitely rode very tight after that first lap. That’s just part of the pressure. Once you are in a podium position in those finals, you obviously want to maintain it. I was maintaining rather than chasing. That’s just something to work on.“But if you had said I would be sat here in third place before the meeting, I probably would have taken it. For me, to top-score in the heats is a huge thing. I would like to thank everybody – my family, my supporters and my team. They worked really well.“I have managed to get a third and a second in the British Championship. Hopefully it is time for the win soon. We have to keep working to do that.“In Cardiff, it will just be a matter of getting out of the start and riding my own race, and then we will see where we are at. It will be a very good comparison for me against the best riders in the world.”&nbsp;<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/392146/conversions/WhatsApp-Image-2024-06-09-at-00.20.19-large.jpeg"/>Bewley joins Barry Briggs, Ivan Mauger, Andy Smith and Woffinden in an elite club of riders with three British title wins on the bounce.The world No.7 landed his third British Championship with a fearsome charge under Woffinden going into lap three of an epic final, and the Cumbrian star admits he needed it after struggling from the starts all evening.He said: “I didn’t make any starts all night. For the final, I thought I could do with making a better one, but I heard after picking gate one that no rider had won from there. I thought the final would be a good time to turn that around.“I made a decent start, but Tai got a good run around the first corner. Sometimes you get in the right place and get that bit of drive. I was just able to nip up the inside and it just happened.&nbsp;“It’s not the easiest track to lead on, but it was an awesome crowd. To get three titles in a row after Tai and a couple of others have done it is great.”&nbsp;BRITISH FINAL HEAT SCORES: 1 Tom Brennan 13, 2 Dan Bewley 12, 3 Steve Worrall 11, 4 Tai Woffinden 10, 5 Chris Harris 10, 6 Adam Ellis 9, 7 Robert Lambert 9, 8 Charles Wright 8, 9 Anders Rowe 7, 10 Kyle Howarth 6, 11 Craig Cook 6, 12 Connor Mountain 6, 13 Jordan Jenkins 5, 14 Lewis Kerr 4, 15 Drew Kemp 4, 16 Simon Lambert 0.SEMI-FINAL: Woffinden, Harris, Worrall, Ellis.FINAL: Bewley, Woffinden, Brennan, Harris.<a href="https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/fim-speedway-grand-prix-tickets/artist/2232492#important-info">Join Brennan, Bewley, Woffinden and former European champion Robert Lambert at the FIM Speedway GP of Great Britain – Cardiff.

BRITISH STAR BRENNAN BIDS TO FOLLOW IN DUGARD’S FOOTSTEPS AFTER WINNING CARDIFF WILD CARD

Swedish young guns Casper Henriksson and Philip Hellstrom-Bangs will both represent the host nation in the 3P Logistics FIM SGP2 of Sweden – Malilla next Friday after sealing FIM Speedway Under-21 World Championship qualification on Saturday.Henriksson finished fifth in the 2023 SGP2 series and he sealed his spot in this year’s three-round championship with victory at the qualifier in Macon, France on 14 points.&nbsp;Meanwhile, Hellstrom-Bangs took fourth place on 11 in the qualifier at German track Ludwigslust. He will now do double duty, having already been named as second track reserve for the 3P Logistics FIM Speedway GP of Sweden – Malilla on Saturday night.Henriksson was followed into the series by Poland’s double FIM SON2 gold medallist Wiktor Przyjemski, who was second in Macon on 13 and is likely to start as one of the championship favourites as he returns to the SGP2 series after a year’s break.Danish racer William Drejer, who famously finished third in the FIM SGP2 of Denmark – Vojens final as a track reserve last year will now race full time in the 2024 series after finishing third in France.He won a three-way run-off for the last two qualification spots, which also saw Great Britain’s Leon Flint make the cut. Former SGP3 gold medallist Mikkel Andersen was the unlucky man after the trio tied on 12.Ukrainian racer Nazar Parnitskyi, first substitute rider in the 2023 SGP2 series, blazed into the full 2024 line-up with a 15-point maximum, which won him the Ludwigslust qualifier.Jesper Knudsen was second on 12 and follows in the footsteps of his brother Jonas, who competed in the 2022 series. Jesper beat Norwegian racer Mathias Pollestad in a run-off for second place, but Pollestad still qualifies in third, with Hellstrom-Bangs taking the final spot in Germany on 11. Polish star Bartosz Banbor and American youngster Slater Lightcap just fell short on 10.Poland’s Sebastian Szostak booked his place in SGP2 as winner of the qualifier at former FIM Italian Speedway GP venue Terenzano, scoring 14 points.Danish racer Bastian Pedersen – nephew of triple Speedway GP world champion Nicki Pedersen – qualified in second place on 13. Poland’s Jakub Krawczyk and Latvia’s Francis Gusts came through a three-way run-off for the last two qualification places, with 2022 SGP3 runner-up Villads Nagel of Denmark missing out after they tied on 12.British rider Dan Thompson fell short on 10, with 2023 SGP2 star Anze Grmek exiting on nine.The full SGP2 line-up will be confirmed very soon, with the 12 qualifiers set to be joined by three permanent wild cards, selected by the SGP2 Commission, as well as a wild card for each of the rounds in Malilla, Latvian capital Riga on September 6 and Polish city Torun on September 27.2024 SGP2 LINE-UP SO FAR: Nazar Parnitskyi (Ukraine), Jesper Knudsen (Denmark), Mathias Pollestad (Norway), Philip Hellstrom-Bangs (Sweden), Sebastian Szostak (Poland), Bastian Pedersen (Denmark), Jakub Krawczyk (Poland), Francis Gusts (Latvia), Casper Henriksson (Sweden), Wiktor Przyjemski (Poland), William Drejer (Denmark), Leon Flint (Great Britain).LUDWIGSLUST SCORES: 1.

SWEDISH DUO AMONG SGP2 QUALIFIERS

Latvian ace Andzejs Lebedevs made the ideal start to his bid for Speedway European Championship No.2 after winning the opening round of the series at Hungarian track Debrecen on Saturday.The Speedway GP star, who lifted the SEC trophy in 2017, cruised straight through to the final on 14 points, before taking the chequered flag in the final to top the standings with 17.The winner of the four-round SEC series will earn automatic qualification for the 2025 Speedway GP series. And with Lebedevs currently 13th in the SGP World Championship on 22 points – 27 short of the top-six automatic qualification places – a big performance in the continental championship could offer him another route into Speedway GP for next year.Another rider seeking a Speedway GP return is 2022 SGP bronze medallist Maciej Janowski. He finished second to Lebedevs in the final after scoring 10 in the heats, before winning the semi-final ahead of Jacob Thorssell.The double Swedish champion went on to finish third in the final – some result for Thorssell, who only received a call-up for the event after French international Dimitri Berge withdrew due to injury.Janowski left Debrecen with 12 championship points, while Thorssell accrued 11. Former world No.2 Patryk Dudek took fourth place and 10 championship points. He joined Lebedevs in gaining automatic qualification for the final after beating Janowski, Thorssell and reigning champion Mikkel Michelsen on countback after they all tied on 10 points after five rides.Michelsen finished third in the semi and also claims 10 championship points, with fourth-placed semi-finalist Kacper Woryna of Poland scoring nine. He pipped Danish star Anders Thomsen and Poland’s Piotr Pawlicki to the last semi spot after they tied on nine.Swedish international Timo Lahti scored eight, former Danish champion Rasmus Jensen collected seven, Czech charger Vaclav Milik scored six and two-time SEC champion Leon Madsen registered five along with Latvia’s Jevgenijs Kostigovs.DEBRECEN POINTS AND SEC STANDINGS: 1.

SEC | LEBEDEVS TOPS PODIUM AT EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP OPENER IN HUNGARY

British shooting star Tom Brennan is bidding to punch his ticket for the FIM Speedway GP of Great Britain – Cardiff on August 17 and make up for his 2022 heartbreak at tonight's British Championship Final in Manchester.The 2021 FIM Speedway of Nations gold medallist heads to the National Speedway Stadium, as one of the favourites to win the national title and finish as the top non-Speedway GP rider to claim the coveted Cardiff wild card.With reigning champion Dan Bewley, Robert Lambert and triple Speedway GP world champion Tai Woffinden all in action, it’s the strongest British Championship line-up in recent memory. But Brennan is ready to take the fight to his international teammates on the Manchester track, where he spent three seasons racing for Belle Vue.The 2021 British Under-21 champion was cruelly denied a spot in Britain’s biggest indoor motorsport event in 2022. He was jointly leading the British Final with Bewley and Chris Harris on eight points until it was halted due to rain with no winner declared on August 1.&nbsp;This saw 2021 British champion Adam Ellis handed the Cardiff spot for August 13, 2022, and Brennan then finished second to Bewley in the British Final restaging on September 18, which would have been enough to secure him the FIM British Speedway GP opportunity had it still been on offer.After being denied two years ago, Brennan would love to take possession of the famous No.16 race jacket in Cardiff this time around.He said: “I actually got it two years ago and, unfortunately, I never got my chance. But we move on from that and I wouldn’t be in it if I didn’t think I could win it tonight. I’m there for the win.“It would be a huge opportunity for me. I am breaking through in Sweden and Poland now, so getting to Cardiff is one of those targets for me for sure. Obviously it’s an aim for any rider to go and win the British Championship. We will be giving it everything.”Cardiff 2022 winner Bewley’s place at the Principality Stadium is already secure as a full member of the Speedway GP series.&nbsp;But the stakes are still high as he heads to Manchester chasing what would be his third straight national crown.He said: “Winning the British Championship for the second time was such a thrill and it would be cool to do it for a third time, but it’s going to be a tough night for all of us.“I’m okay with being the guy with the target on his back. It motivates me to be even better than before, but anything can happen and there are 15 other guys who are capable of winning.”The British Final line-up also features former Speedway GP stars Harris and Craig Cook, plus 2023 Monster Energy FIM Speedway World Cup silver medallist Ellis, and two more former British champions, Rory Schlein and Charles Wright.BRITISH FINAL LINE-UP: 1 Drew Kemp, 2 Robert Lambert, 3 Chris Harris, 4 Simon Lambert, 5 Craig Cook, 6 Connor Mountain, 7 Adam Ellis, 8 Tai Woffinden, 9 Lewis Kerr, 10 Steve Worrall, 11 Dan Bewley, 12 Anders Rowe, 13 Rory Schlein, 14 Tom Brennan, 15 Charles Wright, 16 Kyle Howarth. Reserves: 17 Freddy Hodder, 18 Matt Marson.

EKSTRALIGA | MADSEN LEADS LIONS TO HARD-FOUGHT WIN

Polish racer Oskar Fajfer is set for his first FIM Speedway Grand Prix rides for 10 years after being named as ISS FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Gorzow wild card.The Stal Gorzow star dons the famous No.16 race jacket in his home event at <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/rounds/2024-iss-fim-speedway-gp-of-poland-gorzow">Edward Jancarz Stadium on Saturday, June 29</a>.Fajfer previously made one SGP appearance at the 2014 FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Torun, taking two rides as a track reserve to replace the injured Michael Jepsen Jensen.The 30-year-old was also a track reserve at the 2023 Gorzow event but did not take to the track.

POLISH STAR FAJFER SET FOR SPEEDWAY GP RETURN AS GORZOW WILD CARD

Speedway GP star Jan Kvech is set for his UK debut after agreeing terms with Rowe Motor Oil Premiership side King’s Lynn for the rest of 2024.It is unclear who Kvech will replace at this stage, but the 2022 SGP2 and SON2 silver medallist steps up on an assessed 6.00 average as the Stars battle a rider shortage following Vadim Tarasenko’s departure and injuries to Tobiasz Musielak and Michael Palm Toft.Kvech made his full-time SGP debut this year after qualifying at the 2023 FIM SGP Challenge in Gislaved and follows Birmingham recruit Fredrik Lindgren in making the move to the UK this move.The 22-year-old already competes for boyhood team Prague, as well as Zielona Gora in Poland’s PGE Ekstraliga. He's set to make his Stars debut against Oxford on Monday, June 17. And King’s Lynn operations manager Dale Allitt admits two former Stars riders Tomas Topinka and Filip Sitera helped them get the deal over the line.He said: “We actually completed the deal on Wednesday evening when Tomas was celebrating his 50th birthday, so many thanks to him for putting that on hold, as well as to Filip. Both have strong connections with King’s Lynn of course, and they have both given us great assistance in this matter.“We all feel that Jan’s style is very much one which should suit English tracks, maybe more so than some of the riders who have only ever ridden in Poland.“Jan is a Grand Prix rider, he’s 22 years old and if you were going out with a shopping list for a rider on a 6.00 average, you would look at Jan Kvech and he ticks every box.“He’s an exciting rider with everything going for him, and other than Robert Lambert, it has been a long time since King’s Lynn has had a GP rider in their full-time one-to-seven.“I hope this shows the fans that we won’t be giving up by any stretch. It’s been an absolutely terrible start to the season, but we feel this is a show of intent and also something that will be good for British Speedway, with yet another GP rider now in the UK.“With Freddie Lindgren also coming in, we’ve now had two GP riders coming to the UK in the space of a week, and that’s brilliant for the profile of the sport here.“As far as the team is concerned, it’s very much a signing to strengthen following the problems we’ve had with the loss of Vadim (Tarasenko), the injury to Tobiasz (Musielak) and now with Michael (Palm Toft) ruled out. We will re-declare at the appropriate time.”

KVECH SET FOR UK DEBUT WITH KING'S LYNN

Swedish star Fredrik Lindgren says he heads to Britain seeking a challenge as he makes his Rowe Motor Oil Premiership comeback when Birmingham travels to Ipswich tonight.The world No.2 has not raced full-time in the UK since he competed for Wolverhampton in 2017, but he has joined the Brummies for the rest of the season as he bids to roar into top form, building on his second place at the Orlen FIM Speedway GP of Czech Republic – Prague last Saturday.It’s the first time Lindgren has competed for a British club other than Wolverhampton, where he raced from 2003 until 2017, missing only the 2014 campaign.But with Wolves currently searching for a new home after losing their Monmore Green stadium, Lindgren makes the move across the Midlands, reuniting with former teammate Sam Ermolenko, who is now Birmingham team manager, as well as his assistant Chris Adams, son of legendary Wolves boss Peter Adams.Lindgren, who also rides for Polish champions Lublin, admits British racing offers him a different test than he would have faced had he opted to compete in Sweden, and he can’t wait to get started.He said: “I felt like I needed a challenge – a bit more racing. Many have asked why I didn’t go to Sweden because I am Swedish. But I have not raced in Britain for seven years. I felt like I needed something different. The tracks and the shale in the UK are very different. Now there are some tracks that I haven’t really raced on much.“That will be a challenge for me. I will have to switch on my mind and find new solutions, and hopefully that can make me sharp.”Lindgren isn’t expecting an easy ride on his UK comeback. He added: “I hope I can be an asset to the team and score the points they need. It’s not going to be easy. The British league is tough now. There are a lot of good names coming back into British speedway.“I don’t expect to get on the bike there and just score a lot of points. It’s going to be a lot of hard work. I haven’t raced in Britain for so many years and it is different – the shale and the tracks are different. It’s going to be a challenge, but I look forward to it.”Lindgren is pleased to be back among familiar faces in the Brummies pits. He said: “I raced with Sam when I came into the UK as a young guy with Wolverhampton. I have also worked alongside Chris Adams for many years, and I know him very well. It’s good to have some familiarity. I will be staying in the Midlands as well.”Lindgren returns to his homeland next week for the 3P Logistics FIM Speedway GP of Sweden - Malilla on Saturday, June 15.<a href="https://secure.tickster.com/sv/v3whk621b29u55c/selectproductgroup">Tickets are still available online - secure your spot at an epic weekend of racing, also featuring SGP2 and SGP4 action, HERE.</a>
