Russia shocked the Speedway world to win the #MonsterEnergySWC Race Off and qualify for tomorrow night’s final in Leszno, Poland.
The Russian team were depleted of one of their strongest riders before the meeting with Grigori Laguta failing a doping test, but their young guns stepped up to the plate and produced a stunning performance to knock out pre-meeting favourites Australia.
The Aussies, boosted by the return of World Championship leader Jason Doyle, were expected to book their place in the final but they had no answer to the Russian charge.
