He is now looking to achieve his third world title in four years and another gold to his fine medal collection that he has since joining the series full-time in 2016. 'Stronger and stronger!' — Zmarzlik top rider from SGP Denmark in Vojens What a weekend! All the best bits from the Speedway GP in Vojens Minute's silence held for Queen Elizabeth II at SGP Denmark All he has to do is outscore rival Leon Madsen and register a minimum of four championship points to win gold.

Zmarzlik currently has 128 championship points, while Madsen is on 108 and Dan Bewley is on 91. Gold may be all but wrapped, but the fight to medal is tight, as Patryk Dudek and Robert Lambert are just behind Bewley with 90 and 86 points, respectively. It isn’t just podium positions that are on the line, as the riders know that only the top six in the standings are guaranteed a spot for next year's 2023 Speedway GP.
