Speedway GP rookie Patryk Dudek has had a pretty awesome debut season in the Speedway Grand Prix series but there was one thing missing from his burgeoning resumé – a victory.
He’s been second, third and even fourth but the top step had alluded him all season long, until he produced one of the best GP performances of the season to finally get his hands on the gold and in the process he shook up the world championship picture.
Dudek trailed leader Jason Doyle by 22 points heading into the penultimate round and the Australian only needed to match Patryk’s score to win the title, but ‘Duzers’ had other ideas and slashed Doyle’s lead to 14 points with one round to go.
It’s a pretty big ask to claw that back but he has at least piled the pressure on and as he soaked up the winning feeling in the aftermath of his big night, he told us that it was the best moment of his career to date.
