Poland speedway team loses 41-49 to Australia in Rybnik test before World Team Cup
Australia defeated Poland 49‑41 in a test match held at the Municipal Stadium in Rybnik. The match, attended by roughly 8,500 spectators, served as a final preparation for the upcoming Speedway of Nations (DPŚ) final in Warsaw on 29 August at the PGE Narodowy. Australian rider Brady Kurtz topped the score sheet with 11 + 1 points, while Jason Doyle and Rohan Tungate also contributed. Poland’s highest scorers were Dominik Kubera and Bartosz Zmarzlik, each earning 13 points, but several riders struggled: Piotr Pawlicki scored zero, Przemysław Pawlicki only two points, and Kacper Woryna managed 3 + 2. Coach Stanisław Chomski expressed concern over the form of the Pawlicki brothers and Woryna, noting the loss raises questions about the team’s readiness for the World Team Cup, where Poland seeks its tenth title. The result follows a 60‑30 victory over Australia in 2023 and now acts as a critical assessment of the Polish squad ahead of the championship.
