Popular in continental Europe and the UK, speedway is one of the most exhilarating motorsports you can watch and bet 0️⃣ on.

The motorcycle sport involves adrenaline junkies negotiating flat oval dirt tracks in an anti-clockwise direction on single-gear bikes, which can 0️⃣ go from nought to 60 mph in just 2.3 seconds. Riders take advantage of the dirt surface by sliding their 0️⃣ bikes sideways into the bends using a method known as broadsiding, helping them to maintain momentum and power down the 0️⃣ straight sections of the track.

Speedway Races

Speedway races (also known as heats) are four laps long, with two teams of two 0️⃣ riders competing for pole position. Some races feature six riders, but this is rare as most modern speedway tracks are 0️⃣ too narrow to accommodate the additional riders safely.

Home team riders wear red and blue helmets, while visiting riders wear white 0️⃣ and yellow/black helmets. The starting area is split into a grid of four equal sections, with riders from each team 0️⃣ taking their place in alternate grids.
