After ten rounds, at the Speedway GP of Melbourne it seemed inevitable that four-time World Champion Greg Hancock would take out his fifth championship.

Grey Hancock took the Championship win early in the night, and was forced to later retire.

Needing only two points to secure the win, Hancock didn’t leave the crowd wondering, taking the win in his opening race and securing the Championship early in the night.

The podium race was still up for grab with former series leader Jason Doyle out after sustaining serious injuries at the previous round in Poland.

It was left to Tai Woffinden, Bartosz Zmarzlik, and Chris Holder to duke it out. From the get go, Woffinden and Holder set out to take a stranglehold on the podium spots.

Holder seemed almost unstoppable through the heats while Woffinden remained steady taking three wins, as well as Zmarzlik who crept through the heats almost unnoticed.

After a racing incident earlier in the night, Greg Hancock withdrew from the event giving Australian young guns Sam Masters, Max Fricke and Jack Holder a chance to prove themselves on the world stage.

Both Masters and Holder managed second place finishes in the heats and at one stage, both riders ran out front of the pack gaining valuable experience for their future careers in the sport.

The finals left the best of the best fighting for the GP win, and for some their first of the season.

This left Holder and Woffinden to battle out for the final two spots in the final in semi final 2. After running wide on the first turn, Holder slingshot himself into the lead and never looked back, taking the win in style ahead of Woffinden.

Woffinden had secured a podium finish, but for Holder, he needed to not only win but for Bartosz Zmarzlik to finish fourth for him to steal the podium finish in the championship standings.

Holder did everything he could, grabbing the lead early and running away from the pack. Woffinden hunted him down but couldn’t match the pace of his fellow countrymen.

Unfortunately for Holder, Bartosz Zmarzlik proved too good for Lindback and secured a championship podium spot with a third-place finish. For Holder, it was his first overall of the season and he finished the series fourth overall.

Woffinden couldn’t defend his championship but once again finished second, for the second time in his young career. Bartosz Zmarzlik’s impressive second half of the season gifted him with the third place spot in the championship.
