There was a dramatic crash in heat 6 of the Speedway Grand Prix in Warsaw, Poland when Patryk Dudek collided with Jack Holder as the two men took a corner.
Dudek appeared to lose control of his bike as his front wheel came up off the track and although Holder had the presence of mind to take some evasive action, a coming together was unavoidable.
