Motorcycling Australia’s starting line-up has been confirmed for its 2025 FIM Speedway of Nations (SON) semi-final in Poland on October 1.
And it’s a star-studded roster with Speedway Grand Prix trio Brady Kurtz, Jack Holder and Jason Doyle representing Team Australia against Argentina, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France and Ukraine.
The top three from semi-final 2, as well as semi-final 1 on September 30 (Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Latvia, Norway, Slovenia and Sweden), will then join host nation Poland in the final on October 4.

Kurtz is currently in the form of his life, winning the last five SGP rounds as he came agonisingly close to winning the title as a rookie, while Holder and Doyle were a part of the 2022 SON-winning team alongside Max Fricke.
Kurtz and Holder are listed as No. 1 and No. 2 riders, although Doyle can be called into action by team manager Mark Lemon as he chooses.
In the FIM SON semi-finals and final, all seven countries meet each other over 21 heats. There will be four points on offer to a race winner, three for second, two for third and zero points for finishing last, failing to finish or being disqualified.
