So does Kurtz need to win Vojens with Zmarzlik 3rd? Can't see anybody ahead of Zmarzlik other than Kurtz... today's sprint may come back to haunt Kurtz!

Ridiculous that these stupid sprint points  could decide it.

And how much water Fireman Phil puts on the track...

You will definitely need goggles, or maybe even a diving mask......:D

Holder scores 7, finishes with 14, Fricke scores 11, finishes with 7! It's so wrong!

I don't agree actually. The last 3 races are like the championship rounds in boxing. They sort the men from the boys.

Fricke constantly looks like one of the fastest riders on show but can't do it in the big ones.

Simply because one other aussie and his belle Vue teammate helped him out.  Totally undeserved win for the second division second string

Did that happen in the previous 3 GP too? 4 wins in a row :)

So someone else needs to beat Zmarzlik to stop him winning the World title even if Kurtz beats him in Vojens. Hmmmmm. And it's all thanks to the sprint!

Life use to be so simple in the good old days of a speedway world champion now it is so contrived anyone could scupper an odds on favourite and while the participants give it everything, the media give scant regards to professionalism and simply are interested in numbers. Might as well put a fee paying stream on YouTube.

It seems they are making a concentrated effort to diminish the championship, while inferring they are doing the opposite.

I watched my local team at home today beaten 2-0m deservedly so as they were crap. Not only because they didn't make the effort, but also because they didn't seem interested in making the effort.

Watched this GP and they same thoughts entered my head

There has been plenty of those scenarios this season. Absolute joke of a sport. Even in the final, we had the two top riders on 15 and 13. the other two on 8 and 7 and Fricke sat in the pits watching on 11pts! Surely they have to have a good look and realised they gone it wrong and while they are at it, stop Morris from fu**ing up the track at every GP!!

Well done to every rider who pinned it on the fence tonight, not sure why they prepared the track like that tonight but roll on vojens if nothing else the fight for the world championship is on 

The top two, head and shoulders above the rest...

One being quite probably the GOAT...

A non event without Brady....

First season too...

Fair play, whatever happens in Vojens...

That's like when Buster Douglas knocked Mike Tyson out then... or Rocky beat Apollo, at least Rocky went on to become something 😂

If they have to have a final, which I'm not against it has to be a meritocracy, either every point counts or back to the D, C, B and A finals at least under the latter system your locked into your race scoring qualification points.

Bartosz is a different class.but hats off the Brady he is definitely better than the rest and still has great chance of being World Champ.

Track prep was crap as usual.

MJJ is capable of doing Brady a big favour in Vojens...

Goat possibly in the grand prix era but today its a far cry from the days of Crump, Rikardsson, Gollob, Adams, Pederson etc, and certainly cant compare the GP,s with the one offs with the stupid scoring and now the sprint race. Different eras yes but i turned this off GP,s just dont do it for me im afraid, the novelty wore off a while back, suppose its just personal preference.

You certainly cant compare the eras.
