Ekstraliga with Polish club Rybnik. He also claimed FIM Speedway of Nations silver with Australia and helped Swedish side Dackarna to Bauhaus Elitserien silver.<\/p>\n<p>But sealing his spot in the 2025 Speedway GP series with a 13-point tally in Pardubice is the icing on the cake for Kurtz.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>When the rain started falling, the Cowra-born racer believed it could be his night. He said: \u201cThe tough conditions normally suit me. I have been fast everywhere in Europe this year and when I saw that it was wet and heavy, it looked like Belle Vue (Manchester) in the rain all over! I don\u2019t really have any worries in tough conditions, and I think that\u2019s where I got my advantage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been a really good year. Years like this don\u2019t come around too often. We won with Rybnik, we won with Belle Vue on Thursday, and I am so happy I got it done here too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kurtz has worked hard behind the scenes to bring together all of the elements needed to succeed at speedway\u2019s highest level.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cI would say there are a lot of moving parts that go into the wheel. I haven\u2019t had all the parts in previous years. I worked hard in the winter to make everything a little bit better, and I think I achieved that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got rid of my bad matches this year. I think I was always capable of having really good matches. But then I would have a bad one a week later for no reason. That\u2019s what I have tried to eliminate. I think I pretty well did that, and my equipment was so good this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have been working hard with my engine tuner Ash (Ashley Holloway) for I don\u2019t know how many years. But we have tested so much stuff and I think we have finally hit the nail on the head. My mechanics in the pits have been perfect all year. I don\u2019t remember having any bike problems the entire year and it has just been a dream season really.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2869\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2869\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2869 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/speedwayhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/t1PtZqIpHY6UCl4It4Rts0wCu37l1l-metadGhvbXNlbjMzNTQuanBn-large.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/speedwayhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/t1PtZqIpHY6UCl4It4Rts0wCu37l1l-metadGhvbXNlbjMzNTQuanBn-large.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/speedwayhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/t1PtZqIpHY6UCl4It4Rts0wCu37l1l-metadGhvbXNlbjMzNTQuanBn-large-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/speedwayhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/t1PtZqIpHY6UCl4It4Rts0wCu37l1l-metadGhvbXNlbjMzNTQuanBn-large-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2869\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">FIM SGP Challenge runner-up Anders Thomsen.
