In the second leg of the quarter-finals in the Swedish Bauhaus-Ligan, the Lejonen Gislaved team defeated Indianerna Kumla 52:38 and advanced to the semi-finals. Bartek scored nine points and a bonus in this event.
In the third heat, the visiting pair: Szymon Woźniak, Max Fricke defeated the host duo: Bartosz Zmarzlik, Casper Henriksson. Indianerna’s riders started better than the others and won a well-deserved victory. After three races, the Lejonen Gislaved team was leading 10:8.
Race six was a sure victory of the local riders: Henriksson and Zmarzlik, who defeated the visitors 5:1 quite easily. Krzysztof Buczkowski scored one point, and Rohan Tungate crossed the finishing line last.
Only three speedway riders took part in the eighth race. Because Johannes Stark, who had an accident in heat five, was taken to hospital for detailed examination. Jason Doyle triumphed in this race ahead of Zmarzlik and Henriksson.
In the twelfth run the points were split. Jason Doyle rode for the visiting team as a tactical reserve. However, this change did not bring the expected result. Fricke won the race, Zmarzlik scored two points and Kubera scored one. Doyle finished fourth.
Race fourteen was not particularly exciting. It was won by Doyle ahead of Zmarzlik, Henderson and Grahn.
