The line-ups of all the teams which will compete in the Grand Final of the European Team Championships in Grudziądz have been announced. The competition is scheduled for Saturday, 6 April at 2.00 p.m. Apart from the Polish team, the teams of Sweden, Denmark and the Czech Republic, which won promotion in Saturday’s finals A and B, will compete for medals. Tickets on sale online at tickets.speedwayevents.pl and at ebilet.pl.
Grudziądz will host an international event of this stature for the first time. It is in the city by the Vistula River that the medals of the European Team Championships, which are being held for the third time in history, will be handed out. In both previous editions, the White-Red triumphed. In 2022, they took the gold in Poznań, and a year later they proved to be the best on the track in the German city of Stralsund.
The Polish team did not have to fight for promotion to the Grand Final, because, as the host, promotion was assured ex officio. Rafał Dobrucki had a very difficult decision to make. According to the regulations, each team can only include one rider competing in the Speedway Grand Prix series. In the end, he appointed Bartosz Zmarzlik, Patryk Dudek, Przemysław Pawlicki, Piotr Pawlicki and Wiktor Przyjemski for the Grudziądz competition.
The managers of the other teams nominated the same riders for the line-ups who competed in the A and B Finals.
