Popular in continental Europe and the UK, speedway is one of the most exhilarating motorsports you can watch and bet ❤️ on.
The motorcycle sport involves adrenaline junkies negotiating flat oval dirt tracks in an anti-clockwise direction on single-gear bikes, which can ❤️ go from nought to 60 mph in just 2.3 seconds. Riders take advantage of the dirt surface by sliding their ❤️ bikes sideways into the bends using a method known as broadsiding, helping them to maintain momentum and power down the ❤️ straight sections of the track.
Speedway Races
Speedway races (also known as heats) are four laps long, with two teams of two ❤️ riders competing for pole position. Some races feature six riders, but this is rare as most modern speedway tracks are ❤️ too narrow to accommodate the additional riders safely.
Home team riders wear red and blue helmets, while visiting riders wear white ❤️ and yellow/black helmets. The starting area is split into a grid of four equal sections, with riders from each team ❤️ taking their place in alternate grids.
