Speedway GP in Malilla live stream: Kai Huckenbeck set for another outing

With the SGP4 final (190cc class), in which Levi Pentzek, a German rider, will wear the number 1 jersey, the SGP2 – the opening round of which takes place without any German participation – and the Swedish Grand Prix, Malilla offers a packed programme. Anyone not at the stadium will only be able to watch the Grand Prix at home on TV, as there will be no broadcasts of the SGP2 this season for cost reasons.

For the SGP2, Janek Konzack and Mario Häusl – who narrowly missed out on qualifying – are on the reserve list. As no regular rider has withdrawn ahead of the U21 World Championship in Sweden, the series opener will take place without any German participation. Also absent from the field is defending champion Nazar Parnitskyi, who is now competing in the Grand Prix, meaning a new world champion will be crowned this season.

The Swedish Grand Prix, where Brady Kurtz secured the first of five consecutive victories last year, marks the start of the second half of the season. As three riders have had to withdraw once again, Kai Huckenbeck will travel to Manchester for his second appearance of the year. After Dan Bewley and Jack Holder initially withdrew – to be replaced by Anders Thomsen and Jan Kvech – Fredrik Lindgren has now also pulled out. Although the Swede returned to racing last weekend in Poland following a lengthy injury lay-off, he does not yet feel fit enough to compete in the Grand Prix.

In the battle for the World Championship lead, all eyes are once again on the duel between defending champion Bartosz Zmarzlik and runner-up Brady Kurtz following the Warsaw Grand Prix; they are currently separated by just three points in the overall standings and are, in all likelihood, set to decide the World Championship title between themselves.

The pay-per-view live streams from Malilla will begin on Discovery+ on Saturday afternoon with qualifying at 2 pm. The main event will be broadcast from 6.40 pm, and German commentator Norbert Ockenga will set the scene ahead of the race start at 7 pm.
