Patryk Dudek secures Grand Prix final spot at Speedway GP Challenge

Polish rider Patryk Dudek qualified directly for the Speedway Grand Prix final at the GP Challenge, joining fellow qualifier Brady Kurtz. Dudek surprised spectators by selecting the third gate and a white helmet instead of the traditional red.

The event, held amid uncertain weather, saw organizers cover the track with a tarp that was removed only half an hour before racing began. In the final qualifying races, Robert Lambert and Michael Jepsen Jensen earned places through the last‑chance heats.

Commentary on the GP Challenge highlighted that two current SGP riders, one former participant, and a 36‑year‑old newcomer earned advancement, while criticizing the limited three‑tournament elimination format and calling for broader qualifying opportunities.
