Great Britain star Dan Bewley makes his FIM Speedway Grand Prix comeback at the Deluxe Homeart FIM Speedway GP of Denmark – Vojens this Saturday.
The Cumbrian made his racing return for Polish club Wroclaw in their PGE Ekstraliga play-off semi-final, first leg away to Leszno on Sunday, scoring 10 paid 12 points from five rides as the visitors won 55-35 to put one foot in the final.
Bewley had been sidelined since May 20, when he suffered a broken femur and a compressed vertebra in his back in a crash at a Danish Speedwayligaen event in Outrup.
After months of furious rehabilitation, the world No.3 was elated to make his return. Posting images of the meeting on Facebook, he wrote: “No words right now, just thank you to everyone who supported and believed in me the last three months.”
The meeting also saw 2021 Speedway GP world champion Artem Laguta race to a 15-point maximum for Wroclaw, while Polish champion Maciej Janowski starred on 11, SGP2 series leader Mikkel Andersen scored seven and Brady Kurtz bagged six paid seven.
Aussie racer Ben Cook topped Leszno’s scoring on eight paid nine, with Piotr Pawlicki adding eight and Nazar Parnitskyi registering two.
In the other semi-final, reigning champions Torun took a big stride towards another final appearance after winning 48-42 away to their 2025 final rivals Lublin.
Triple European champion Mikkel Michelsen led their scoring on 12 points, while Emil Sayfutdinov accrued 11 paid 12 and Norick Blodorn collected nine paid 11. Robert Lambert scored six and Patryk Dudek bagged four paid five.
Speedway GP world champion Bartosz Zmarzlik topped the Lublin score chart on 14, with double SGP2 champion Mateusz Cierniak notching nine. SGP star Kacper Woryna added eight, while Fredrik Lindgren collected four.
The second leg of both ties takes place next Sunday.
