However, the top 4 riders qualified for a final and the points for all other riders determined their finishing position in the meeting and therefore their championship Grand Prix points. The 4 finalists scored 20, 18, 17 and 16 points, with the remainder scoring 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1. ## Qualification for Grand Prix The 1995 season had 17 permanent riders (2 as track reserve) and 1 wild card at each event. Each event also could feature 2 reserves who were available to compete and qualify for full points. The 17 riders selected for the 1995 Grand Prix were the top 10 from the [1994 World final](/source/1994_Individual_Speedway_World_Championship), 5 seeded through who were (Sam Ermolenko, Chris Louis, Tomasz Gollob, Gary Havelock and Andy Smith) and 2 wildcards (Billy Hamill and Mikael Karlsson).[7] The permanent riders are highlighted in the results table below. ## 1995 Event Schedule and Winners Round Date City and venue Winner Runner-up 3rd placed 4th placed Results 1 20 May Wrocław , Poland Olympic Stadium Tomasz Gollob Hans Nielsen Chris Louis Mark Loram results 2 17 June Wiener Neustadt , Austria Stadion Wiener Neustadt Billy Hamill Tony Rickardsson Hans Nielsen Mark Loram results 3 8 July Abensberg , Germany Motorstadion Tommy Knudsen Hans Nielsen Billy Hamill Gerd Riss results 4 12 August Linköping , Sweden Motorstadium Tommy Knudsen Tony Rickardsson Greg Hancock Hans Nielsen results 5 9 September Vojens , Denmark Speedway Center Hans Nielsen Sam Ermolenko Tony Rickardsson Tomasz Gollob results 6 30 September London , Great Britain Hackney Wick Stadium Greg Hancock Sam Ermolenko Mark Loram Henka Gustafsson results ## Final standings Qualifies for next season's Grand Prix series Full-time Grand Prix rider Wild card, track reserve or qualified reserve Pos.
