As a Teams Declared[5] was two changes. Pole Sebastian Ułamek (who broke a shoulder blade riding in the Swedish Elitserien) was replaced by Krzysztof Kasprzak. Polish manager Marek Cieślak said: I watched the Polish Championship semi-final where Krzysztof scored 13 points. He also had a very good performance in the Polish Ekstraliga before that.[6] Injured was Australian Rory Schlein, who broke a collarbone and wrist in the British Elite League. Teenage Darcy Ward was an option, but he was injured also.[7] Schlein will be replaced by Davey Watt.[8]

It will be a SWC debut for five riders: two the British Lewis Bridger and Daniel King, one Pole Adrian Miedziński and two Slovenian riders Aleksander Čonda and Maks Gregorič.
