3rd place in the Individual Polish Championships

The rivalry in this year’s series of the Individual Polish Championships has finished. In the last round on the track in Lublin, Bartosz Zmarzlik took second place. However, in the overall classification, Bartek won the bronze medal.

In race two, Zmarzlik started from third place and, unfortunately, lagged behind. However, along the track, the Orlen Oil Motor Lublin speedway rider overtook first his club mate, Mateusz Cierniak, and then also Przemyslaw Pawlicki. In the final metres, however, Pawlicki regained second place. Kacper Woryna triumphed in this race. Two points were scored by Pawlicki and one by Zmarzlik. Cierniak was last.

Heat six was won by Bartosz Zmarzlik. On the exit of the second arc of the first lap, Bartek was already in the lead, but had to fend off attacks from Patryk Dudek for four laps. Robert Chmiel added one point to his tally and Jarosław Hampel failed to score.

In run nine Bartek was slow at the start. On the track, Krzysztof Buczkowski did not control his motorbike and fell, but quickly picked himself up and reached the finish line in fourth position. The race was won by Piotr Pawlicki ahead of Bartosz Zmarzlik and Bartosz Smektała.

In the sixteenth race, Bartek once again started poorly, but quickly moved into first place and took his second individual victory of the tournament. Kowalski earned two points and Przedpełski one. Woźniak was the last to arrive.

The nineteenth race had to be re-run. First time, two riders, Bartosz Zmarzlik and Dominik Kubera, fell on the track. The referee ruled Kubera out of the replay as the culprit for interrupting the race. In the second attempt, after a fierce battle for the win, Janowski beat Bartek. One point went to Kołodziej.

Bartek triumphed in the play-off ahead of Dudek. Kowalski and Hampel were eliminated from further competition in this tournament.

The final had to be repeated because Piotr Pawlicki fell on the track. The rider from Zielona Góra was excluded from the re-run. The winner was Janowski, who after a nice fight beat Dudek, who was riding in the lead after the start and was then overtaken by Bartosz Zmarzlik.
