Holder Wins In Warsaw
A
ustralian racer Jack Holder
won the 2025 Orlen Oil FIM
Speedway GP of Poland at PGE
Narodowy in Warsaw on Satur-
day, May 17.
Holder dominated for all four
laps to overcome new Speedway
GP World Championship leader
Brady Kurtz, who finished sec-
ond, securing an Aussie 1-2 in the
world's biggest speedway event.
Kurtz's win gives him a
five-point lead over Polish star
Bartosz Zmarzlik in the Speed-
way GP standings before the
FIM Speedway GP of the Czech
Republic in Prague on May 31.
Polish wild card Patryk Dudek
secured third place, while his
compatriot Dominik Kubera fin
-
ished fourth after
the pair fought
their way through
the last-chance
qualifiers to huge
acclaim from a
packed PGE Nar
-
odowy stadium.
"I took a gamble
with the inside gate for the final
and backed myself," Holder said.
"I made the start and just tried to
hit every rut as well and straight
as I could.
"I could hear people buzzing
around me everywhere, but I just
put my head down, tried not to
stuff it up, and hoped the red
lights didn't come on. That's an
Aussie one-two!"
