Looks to be a more exciting series than the SGP this year. Bomber 1 round away from becoming World Champion! I'll admit I didn't think he'd have the consistency or mechanical standards to do it but he's made me eat my words, and I'm happy to eat them, let's hope he can bring it home in a couple of weeks... shame it's not getting the publicity it deserves.

Is the final round available to watch anywhere?

Tapes Up TV

It's the big one, the 2023 FIM Long Track World Championship title decider.  Just a point separates former Speedway Grand Prix winners Chris Harris and Martin Smolinski, the only two remaining contenders.  We will be live on Tapes Up TV from 13:30 local time.

LAST ROUND DECIDER

Both Harris and Smolinski have made every Grand Final since Ostrów in June, delivering in the process one of the most enthralling title fights in years, with never more than three points between the top two.  For Smolinski this is familiar territory, because he won the 2018 title by just a point over Dimitri Bergé in the Final at Muhdlorf.  The German has since been unable to regain the crown, after a collarbone injury ended his 2019 challenge, then he lost the 2020 and 2022 seasons altogether due to a hip injury.  Harris, meanwhile, transitioned in to FIM Long Track after his final Speedway Grand Prix season in 2016 and has made steady progress, claiming his first podium at La Réole in 2019, two further trips to the rostrum leaving him world number three in 2022, while his first victories - back-to-back at Ostrów and Marmande - have been the basis for his title challenge in 2023.

FORM GUIDE

It is Harris who leads the Standings, despite defeat at the hands of Smolinski in Morizes two weeks ago, with Smolinski yet to win a Round this season.  But the home favourite was the winner at Muhldorf in 2018 and 2019, and had previously been on the podium there in 2014 and 2016.  Harris finished second to Mathieu Trésarrieu in Muhldorf in our first visit since the global pandemic last year.

It's not that live... has it started?

Trying to find anything out about this event is like it was trying to find out about speedway in the 80's at least we had Ceefax back then :D
