He did however win the2018 Speedway Grand Prix of Slovenia and secured a permanent slot for the2019 Speedway Grand Prix, where he finished 8th.
After finishing 12th during the2020 Speedway Grand Prix season Dudek suffered a leg injury, which resulted in him missing the 2021 season.[4] In 2022, he finished in 7th place during the 2022Speedway World Championship, after securing 102 points during the2022 Speedway Grand Prix season, which included winning the German Grand Prix.[5] Also in 2022, he was a member of the Polish team that won the inauguralEuropean Team Speedway Championship.[6]
