Polish rider Bartosz Zmarzlik claimed a surprise home victory in the FIM Speedway Grand Prix of Poland in Gorzow on Saturday.

Zmarzlik finished third in 2012 and received a wildcard entry. The 19-year-old defeated Matej Zagar of Slovenia, fellow Pole Krzysztof Kasprzak and Michael Jepsen Jensen from Denmark in the final to win his first speedway GP.

World champion Tai Woffinden withdrew from the event with a broken bone in his hand which left the way clear for tournament favourites Greg Hancock and Nicki Pedersen, but it was Zmarzlik who stole the show to the delight of the partizan supporters.

Hancock remains top of the world standings with 112 points, Woffinden holds on to second place despite not competing in Poland on 98 points and Pedersen is third on 93.
