BRITISH HERO LAMBERT CLOSES ON SPEEDWAY GP LEAD WITH WIN IN LODZ

Great Britain racer Robert Lambert blew the FIM Speedway Grand Prix World Championship race wide open as he stormed to victory in the FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Lodz on Saturday.

Lambert raced to his first victory since he topped the FIM Speedway GP of Denmark – Vojens podium on September 14, 2024. He is now just eight points behind new Speedway GP leader Brady Kurtz and Bartosz Zmarzlik, who are tied on 109, with Lambert on 101 in third place with three rounds remaining.

The double FIM Speedway of Nations world champion won the very first SGP final at the Moto Arena Lodz ahead of second-placed Polish star Patryk Dudek, Aussie ace Kurtz in third and fourth-placed Danish star Michael Jepsen Jensen.

Kurtz pulled level with reigning Speedway GP world champion Bartosz Zmarzlik at the top of the standings after the Pole exited the event on 11, finishing second in LCQ1. This meant Zmarzlik fell short of a final for the first time since round two of last season in Warsaw on May 17, 2025.

With Kurtz and Zmarzlik picking up an SGP win each in 2026, Kurtz’s two seconds in Prague and Manchester R3 place him above his Polish rival.
