Riders

For the third successive Grand Prix first reserve Fredrik Lindgren replaced Jarosław Hampel, who had injured himself during the 2015 Speedway World Cup and was not fit to compete. The Speedway Grand Prix Commission also nominated Anders Thomsen as the wild card, and Mikkel Bech and Mikkel Michelsen both as Track Reserves.

Results

The Grand Prix was won by Maciej Janowski, who beat Chris Holder, Tai Woffinden and Nicki Pedersen in the final. Greg Hancock had top stored during the 20 qualifying heats, but was eliminated in the semi-finals after making a mistake. Despite finishing third, Woffinden joined Holder at the top of the standings on 39 points after outscoring his rival on the evening.[2]
