Aussies set to take on the World at Monster Energy FIM Speedway of Nations this weekend

Eight times FIM Speedway World Championship race winner, Leigh Adams said; "Max (Fricke) is really hitting form right now, which is a huge plus for the team," he said.

The ten times Australian Speedway Champion also noted the unique lack of banking at the Russian track due to the stadium hosting ice racing there during the winter: "It's going to be a big advantage for the gaters to get out and make some clean starts and get out in front. That is what Max has been doing. He has been flying in the last four weeks," concluded Adams.

To date, the Australian Speedway team have won the FIM's premier Speedway Teams Championship four times, in 1976, 1999, 2001 and 2002.
