BARTOSZ Zmarzlik is one title away from matching the legendary exploits of Ivan Mauger and Tony Rickardsson but after hoisting the World Championship trophy aloft for a fifth time in Torun on Saturday night, the Polish star revealed just what it takes to attain No. 1 status. In this week's magazine, he admits: "On the whole, it has cost me a lot to be in the place where I am now. I have always been told that if I wanted to be the World Champion, I had to eat, sleep and live speedway. There is just no other way. It is about dedicating yourself to this sport 100 per cent. I sacrifice myself because I love it. And once I feel I can't give 100 percent, I will take up something else. There are never easy seasons – sometimes you are up and sometimes down. Getting another trophy is great, but each defeat brings new lessons. My win in 2024 tastes better for this reason. Yes, five titles in the space of six years speaks a lot, but this has not been the easiest time. Each title has shortened my sleep time because I know I need to spend more time on preparations to fight for the next medal."

SPENDING most of the season on the sidelines recovering from injury is a rider's nightmare, but at least Ipswich’s Jason Doyle can take some big positives from 2024, not least of which was a Grand Prix win in Warsaw in May. In this week's magazine, the Australian reveals: "(It was) the emotion of thinking that I was the only one that believed I could win a Grand Prix again. I know that I had a lot of backing from my mechanics and family. But I thought I could win one when no-one else did. A lot of people were saying 'get out of the Grand Prix, you're too old'. That really gave me a lot more drive to win one. You see Freddie (Lindgren) now, he's flying at his age. Age now has gone to 47 or 48. Previously most people retired at 38 or 40, or 42 max. This year I came in with a different mindset. I had the right people around me. I can let them think about set-ups. Having a bit of confidence with the guys in the pits just allows me to sit on it and ride it. In the Grand Prix and Poland, it's small margins now. All these kids are so quick."

BRITAIN'S Robert Lambert says he will be setting his sights even higher after finally winning his first Speedway Grand Prix in Denmark on Saturday. On a night when Bartosz Zmarzlik claimed his fifth world title, it was Lambert who stood atop the podium in Vojens following his maiden GP victory. "Like Bartek said, the first win is always the best one," he said afterwards. "I am the kind of person who is never happy with where I finish. I'm happy for the moment but we obviously push for the next one now. I have finally done it, I can tick that off in my career book and move on to bigger and better things. Winning another one would be awesome. Let's start collecting them up. I hope I go on to win more and more. It's obviously a goal of mine to be in Bartek's position one day. I'm going to keep pushing and fighting and doing all I can to be in that position. We don’t know what will happen in the future, so I can only act in the moment. We will work on it, keep pushing and the hunger will never go away."

THE showpiece individual meeting of the Cab Direct Championship season looms large at Redcar on Sunday – and in this week's magazine, we talk to a man who knows what it’s like to win the event. Oxford's No. 1 Sam Masters has two second division riders' titles on his CV and will be aiming for a third this weekend. "Everyone wants more," he says. "If I can keep going out and enjoying myself and winning races, then I'll be happy. Obviously, you want to reach the Grand Prix series. But I don’t really set any goals or targets like that. You can only win as many races as you can. If you're winning everything, then you can go to that next step. People say to me you need to get out of the Championship to go forward. But I think that's a load of crap. Why do I have to drop the Championship to make the GPs? I don't really think about it too much – I'd probably dishearten myself!"

THE countdown is on to the play-off semi-finals in the ROWE Motor Oil Premiership – and in this week's edition, we look ahead to the last four match-ups in the company of a man who knows a thing or two about winning the league. Former Wolverhampton team manager Peter Adams runs his rule over the contenders and offers a few tips along the way: "I wouldn't be talking about how many points my team has to get (in the first leg). I have never believed in that because if you sit your team down and say, 'look, we have to win by 20 points' and you win by only 12 points, you are on the back foot straight away. If you have told your team you have got to do this, and you don't do that, they can think automatically that it's game over. All you have got to do is score more than the opposition over the two legs."
