Speedway Grand Prix 2022: Dan Bewley ready to 'have some fun' in medal hunt at conclusion of 'special' season

Dan Bewley is set to cap off a remarkable breakthrough season at the 2022 FIM Speedway Grand Prix final round in Torun but remains level-headed over his successes. The 23-year-old hotshot wasn’t originally scheduled to be among the permanent riders this season and only got the call-up off the back of suspensions to Russian pair Artem Laguta and Emil Sayfutdinov over the war in Ukraine. Ad Grasping his chance with both hands, Bewley has literally raced up the standings and sits in fifth place, seven points behind Patryk Dudek in a bronze medal position.

If we don't, it doesn't really change anything. It's been a really good year. And whatever happens, it won't affect that it's been a good year.

“But for sure, if we're going to go, we might as well go and try and put a good result in and give us the best chance possible for a medal also. “I think the position I'm in now, I'd have to have a pretty good night to finish third overall. So for me, it's kind of just go and have some fun and try and mix it up on the track to just try to have the best result we can.
