2025 FIM Long Track World Championship Final Four, Speed Centre Roden ๐ณ๐ฑ , Sunday 21st September, 2:00pm CET (1:00pm UK time).
THE DESTINY of the FIM Long Track World Championship will be decided this afternoon at Speed Centre Roden in the Netherlands, with three riders still in contention for the title.
Last year the Dutch saw Martin Smolinski spark huge celebrations as he lifted his second consecutive World Championship and his third in all (see video), but he will not be making it a fourth crown as he has withdrawn from this year's finale due to injuries sustained in Final Three at Scheeรel. This leaves fellow German Lukas Fienhage, who won the Grand Final at Roden last season, as the title favourite, but he is just two points clear of Zach Wajtknecht whose fellow Brit Chris Harris is just two points further back - and the Brits are in top form having won the Long Track of Nations title alongside Andrew Appleton last weekend at Vechta. It will certainly be a nail-biting contest between this trio to see who will take the World title.
Elsewhere home honour for the Netherlands is upheld by Dave Meijerink and Mika Meijer along with Romano Hummel who returns to World Championship action as the wild card, while European Grass Track Champion Kenneth Hansen is joined by fellow Dane Patrick Kruse who makes his debut at World level. Tero Aarnio adds further Scandinavian flavour, and new Under-23 World Cup Champion Timo Wachs is also among the entry.
Follow the action LIVE on Tapes Up TV - racing begins at 2pm CET (1pm UK time).
