Woryna Wins in His
SpeedwayGP Debut
P
olish racer Kacper
Woryna made a
spectacular full-time FIM
Speedway Grand Prix
debut, winning round one
of the FIM SpeedwayGP
in Landshut, Germany, on
May 2.
Woryna raced his way
through a tense last-
chance qualifier to reach
the final on his first ap
-
pearance as a full-time
SGP rider.
The win was extra
meaningful for Woryna,
as his grandfather won
the event twice, in 1967
and 1971. Woryna senior
also became Poland's
first-ever FIM Speedway
World Championship
medalist when he bagged
bronze in Gothenburg in
1966, a feat he repeated
in Wroclaw in 1970.
"Obviously, it's really
something special for
me," Kacper Woryna
said. "I knew I was com
-
peting in SpeedwayGP
60 years after that first
bronze medal happened,
and it's special.
"My grandpa was a
legend. You can't re
-
ally beat what he has
achieved in Speedway.
I am not trying to com
-
pete with what he has
achieved, but I have
always said it is a privi
-
lege to have the same
surname at least."
Six-time overall SGP
winner Dan Bewley
settled for the runner-up
spot, battling from last
to first in an extraordi
-
nary heat 19.
Defending Speed-
wayGP World Champion
Bartosz Zmarzlik made a
strong start to his quest
for a seventh World title
with third.
Britain's Robert Lam-
bert finished fourth.
