All four Polish FIM Speedway Grand Prix riders have been named in the line-up for the Golden Helmet event in Opole on April 6.
Poland’s national qualifier for Speedway GP, the top riders will battle for the right to compete in the 2027 SGP qualifiers, as well as the 2026 Speedway European Championship qualification rounds.
