A small Swedish town became an important place in the 21st century on the map of the world speedway. Finally, the Saturday tournament was already the nineteenth rank Grand Prixwhich took place in Malilla. The local facility heard “Mazurek Dąbrowski” in as many as eight cases. Tomasz Gollob (twice), Jarosław Hampel, Rune Holt (both after a while) and Dominator – won there – Bartosz Zmarzlik (four times).
It was natural that it was the five -time individual world champion and at the same time leading in the general classification after the previous six events was the main favorite to win the victory at the Dryrotfrag Arena for the fifth time. Many pairs of eyes looked at the same time what his most dangerous competitor could afford – Brady Kurtz. The debutant as a permanent participant in the world cycle does not hide that he intends to dethrone Zmarzlik.

The best speedway in the world began racing in Sweden GP Quite calmly, from two other places. Together with Dominik Kubera They had four points, presenting themselves very solidly. Australians impressed. Jack Holder And Kurtz, filming incredible times, were complete in eight runs. Their compatriot also looked very good, Jason Doylewho even had Zmarzlik on the schedule.
The clash of the leader and vice -leader of the Individual World Championships 2025 took place in the eleventh race race. It was a moment after Holder fell into the Zero account, and Doyle won the full pool. Zmarzlik, wanting to think about promotion to the finals immediately after the basic round, had to try to defeat Kurtz so as not to lose more points.
After changing the motorcycle, as well as the change of ruts, from which he finally started at the start (for two repetitions were needed after the slip Andrzej Lebedev i Maxa Fricke’a), the Australian managed to defeat, but the two best players of this edition of the GP escaped cleverly after leaving the first arch, the representative of Latvia. And it is he, starting for a location on a daily basis Dackarnytogether with Doyle were now in the first two classification of the Saturday tournament.
It should be mentioned that after Friday and Saturday rainfall, the 305-meter track was not particularly pleasant to drive for speedway riders. Holder in an interview with Eurosport did not hide that he was treacherous and that if you ride the front it is one thing, but when you ride on further deposits, the situation gets very difficult to overtake. You can certainly say with all firmly that in the past you could watch GP tournaments much more interesting in Malilla.
Sometimes you could fortunately watch an interesting fight. The passionate duel was fought in sixteenth edition of Zmarzlik with Holder. Everything was happening behind the back Roberta LambrtaSo the main prize were two points. The fourth time of such a Pole, who showed the lion’s claw on the route, tamed the Australian. At that moment, however, it was certain that the individual world champion would go in the semi -final. Only the second this season, because in other tournaments he jumped to the final from time after five starts.
Returning to Lebedev. In the race with Zmarzlik and Kurtz he certainly could talk about a great dose of happiness. The slip at the first arch in the first attempt was without contact with anyone and the judge undoubtedly Craig Ackroyd He should exclude him. This did not happen, so Latvia took advantage of it one hundred percent. In the fourth series he won another “three” and was one step away from the grand finale. Just as effective Doyle, which impressed with starts.
However, the basic round was won by neither the current individual European champion nor the former individual world champion. Kurtz did it, who suffered only once, winning the other four runs with his participation. The Australian has already checked in in the final for the sixth time in the final without having to drive in the semi -final. With him he jumped into the two of Doyle after the number twenty in the race, although he reached the finish line in him, defeated Lebedev.
The top ten ran out of Kubry, which, apart from the first start, did not stand out. The 26-year-old became a victim of a new recipe, which came into force this year. He had the same achievements and partial points as Kai Huckenbeck. He even defeated the German in a direct clash, but he achieved … worse time. The Pole will return to the country, very uncomfortable. This is his fifth in a row in a sluggish performance in GP 2025.
Zmarzlik was juggling motorcycles in Malilla, but also accelerated. In the fifth series of the basic part of the competition he went on the third unit and finally won. In the semi -final he chose the field as the second, after Lebediew. The player from Latvia was one step away from the fight for the podium to finish the competition only in ninth place. In the semi -finals he reached the finish line, far behind Zmarzlik, who, choosing a yellow helmet knew well what he was doing. He fueled on the outer and on the second arch of the premiere lap he scored a phenomenal ride, stripping from illusions Yesterday Kvecha and Holder. The latter after two wins at the beginning then clearly went out.
The cast of no weaker moment that did not join the cast of the finals throughout the evening Daniel Bewleyconfirming that the Swedish town of 1-5 thousand is his happy. The British threw out of the decisive run Fredrika Lindgrena. The Swedish favorite was mainly looking for happiness in his outer style, but on Saturday for overtaking this way it was extremely difficult.
The final was played twice. In the first attempt, two giants began to fight with each other – Kurtz and Zmarzlik. However, the fall was made by Doyle and you had to go again. In the replay, the Australian left no illusions to the Pole. He quickly escaped and fell into the finish line with a huge advantage. Thus, he had a second tournament triumph in a row. And he confirmed again that he was interested in only one thing this season. Title.
