PEDERSEN, HOLDER & TUNGATE LEAD RYBNIK SQUAD

Newly-promoted Rybnik has named former Speedway GP world champions Nicki Pedersen and Chris Holder in its squad for the 2025 PGE Ekstraliga season.

There will be plenty of competition for places in the side as Danish team manager Pedersen and Holder are joined by Aussie star Rohan Tungate – one of the club’s Metalkas 2. Ekstraliga title-winning heroes, who hopes to make his PGE Ekstraliga debut in 2025.

With only two spots available in the starting line-up for senior foreigners, one of the trio will be forced to sit on the sidelines for each match.

Double FIM Speedway Under-21 world champion Maksym Drabik joins Gleb Chugunov to form the club’s senior Polish duo, with two riders vying for the under-24 berth – Poland’s Kacper Pludra and Danish SGP2 star Jesper Knudsen.

The squad is completed by Polish juniors Paweł Trześniewski, Kacper Tkocz, Kamil Winkler and Paweł Wyczyszczok, who line up at No.6 and No.7.

Elsewhere, former Speedway GP winner Piotr Pawlicki has been unveiled in the Czestochowa side for 2025 as he makes the switch from Zielona Gora.

And Gorzow has extended Czech sensation Adam Bednar’s contract at the Edward Jancarz Stadium. While the Pardubice Golden Ribbons winner was already in the side for 2025, he will now race in blue and yellow in 2026 too.
