LEBEDEVS CONFIRMED FOR CARDIFF
30/08/2023
Latvian racer Andzejs Lebedevs will race in his second straight FIM Speedway GP of Great Britain – Cardiff after double Danish champion Anders Thomsen officially withdrew due to injury.
Thomsen underwent surgery on a broken hand after crashing in the OlyBet FIM Speedway GP of Latvia – Riga on August 12.
Britain’s biggest indoor motorsport event comes too soon for the Gorzow and Vojens star as he continues his recovery, and Speedway GP first series substitute Lebedevs lines up in his third straight round after replacing Kim Nilsson in Malilla and Jack Holder in Riga.
Lebedevs scored six championship points in the 2022 event. After coming close to semi-final qualification at the last two rounds, he will be keen to take the next step in Cardiff.
We wish Anders a speedy recovery and return to the Speedway GP stage.
