Lambert Wins Rain-Shortened
SpeedwayGP of Denmark
G
reat Britain's Robert Lambert
was declared the winner after
the SpeedwayGP of Denmark,
on September 12, in Vojens,
was abandoned Saturday after
20 heat races had already been
completed.
Despite pausing racing in the
hope that the rain would subside
and carrying out track work, the
event was halted in the interests
of rider safety.
Twenty points for Lambert,
plus three from the afternoon
sprint race, mean he now leads
the SpeedwayGP World Cham-
pionship with 142 points, with
Poland's reigning World Champi-
on Bartosz Zmarzlik second with
141 and Aussie icon Brady Kurtz
third with 139.
All three riders are now guar-
anteed to finish on the 2026
Speedway GP World Champion-
ship podium and will battle it out
for the sport's biggest prize at the
DeWalt FIM SpeedwayGP of Po-
land in Torun on September 26.
Lambert was joined on the Vo-
jens podium by Danish star Leon
Madsen in second place, with
Australia's Max Fricke ranked
third.
"If you had said I would be
wearing the Golden Race Jacket
before the [Denmark] meeting, I
would have grabbed your hand
off," Lambert said. "It just shows
that speedway is so unpredict-
able, and you never know what
will happen. If you put your best
leg forward, hopefully things
will work out. Looking at it as a
whole, the season has been super
great for me, and I am going to be
very thankful for whatever color
medal I get.
"It's all going down to the last
round, and it's super interesting,"
he said. "It will be great for the
spectators and for us racing for
it too. It's all open for the gold,
silver and bronze medals. I'm
looking forward to it." CN
