Kurtz Wins Denmark GP But Misses FIM Title By A Point

Article source: mcnews.com.au

Cowra’s Brady Kurtz has come within one point of winning the 2025 FIM GP after taking out round 10 of the GP in Vojens, Denmark on Saturday - his 5th GP win in a row.

Rival and now six time champion Bartosz Zmarzlik of Poland finished second in the GP of Denmark but that was enough for him to hang onto the title by a mere point on the overall standings for 2025 - handing him the crown.

He finished with a total of 183 points compared with Kurtz’s 182 points.

Kurtz said while it was heartbraking to miss the title by such a small margin he was very proud of his achievements in his debut season.

“Obviously it’s tough to come that close to winning, but I am also so grateful and happy to win silver in my first year. To win five GPs is absolutely unbelievable. To get the silver medal is a hell of an achievement,” he said.

“I have to say congratulations to Bartosz.

You have to respect him and admire him.

He’s a hell of a competitor. I am not sure what I have to do to beat him, but I need to keep working on that. Congratulations to him and his team. They did an unbelievable job for the entire year. I am glad to be here.”

“When I won for the first time in Gorzow, I properly started to believe that I could win and suddenly, my starting ability really went up from there. That’s pretty much all that has happened. I have been making good starts and just trying to stay calm.”

“To be honest, I was not worried about winning the World Championship at all.

All I was focused on was just trying to make each start and get to the final. I knew I would have a good gate pick, and after that, it wasn’t really up to me.

I just tried to do my thing, but it wasn’t enough.”
