Despite scoring a maximum 21 points, Madsen could not overhaul Zmarzlik in the race for the world title - losing out by just two points. Zmarzlik was crowned world champion, becoming the first Polish rider to win the title since Tomasz Gollob in 2010 Speedway Grand Prix
Sayfutdinov and Madsen both closed in on overall leader Zmarzlik by claiming 17 points, however the Pole's third place meant he took a nine-point lead into the final round of the year in Toruń (see intermediate classification table below).
