Zmarzlik finished eleventh in qualifying, but his participation in the Danish Grand Prix remained at stake dozens of minutes before the start of the competition. The judges noted that the Polish motorcycle racer’s uniform was illegal.
He had to use so-called Kevlar with logos other than those stipulated in the Speedway Grand Prix Series regulations. This may result in disqualification and a fine of €600.
There is a lot of doubt about disqualification
The referees informed Zmarzlik of the disqualification, which was met with an unexpected reaction from the other players defending the world champion. They said Zmarzlik’s offense had no impact on the outcome of Saturday’s playoffs. Unofficial reports even spoke of a boycott of the Danish Grand Prix.
In the end that won’t happen and the competition should start without any problems at 7pm.
This type of situation and the exclusion of a competitor from the competition due to an illegal suit occurred for the first time in the history of the series.
This means that Zmarzlik will defend his title during the final competition of the season scheduled for September 30 in Toruń.
