Aussie ace Brady Kurtz warmed up for tonight’s Events.com FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Gorzow by bagging a 12-point maximum for Wroclaw as they won 57-33 at home to Rybnik in the PGE Ekstraliga on Friday.
Kurtz left ATPI FIM Speedway GP of Great Britain – Manchester R5 last Saturday in pain following a crash in his fourth ride.
