Riders

edit

First reserve Peter Kildemand replaced Jarosław Hampel, who had injured himself during the 2015 Speedway World Cup. The Speedway Grand Prix Commission also nominated Paweł Przedpełski as the wild card, and Piotr Pawlicki Jr. and Bartosz Zmarzlik both as Track Reserves. However, Przedepełski did not race with Pawlicki Jr. taking all five of his rides in the main event.

Results

edit

The Grand Prix was won by Nicki Pedersen, who beat Jason Doyle, Maciej Janowski and Niels-Kristian Iversen in the final. Doyle had initially top scored during the heats, beating Pedersen on countback after both riders had scored 13 points. However, Pedersen had the edge in the deciding race and claimed his third Grand Prix win of the season. Overall, Tai Woffinden was crowned world champion with one round remaining. He failed to reach the semi-finals, however Greg Hancock was eliminated in the semi-finals. This maintained Woffinden's now unassailable 25-point lead at the top of the standings.[2]
