GREAT Britain are through to the Speedway World Cup Final after negotiating Friday’s semi-final in Landshut, Germany.
Skipper Robert Lambert scored 14 points from five rides with Belle Vue’s Dan Bewley adding 13 as GB finished nine points clear of the Czech Republic who edged out the hosts for second placed on countback, with Ukraine fourth.
Ipswich star Tom Brennan picked up nine points with Sheffield and Glasgow’s Leon Flint scoring three on his debut at this level, whilst reserve Will Cairns did not race.
Bewley said: “I remember watching the World Cup on livestream in the pits at Glasgow when it was at Leszno in 2017. It has always been a cool meeting.
“I think it’s the peak of speedway – that’s the biggest meeting there is. It’s a World Cup year and racing the Final in Warsaw is something extra special.”
The Final takes place on August 29 where GB will face Poland, Australia and the winners of the second semi-final.
