In the first match of this year’s PGE Ekstraliga final. Platinum Motor Lublin defeated Betard Sparta Wrocław 51:39. Bartosz Zmarzlik scored ten points in this competition.
The third race had to be repeated. In the first attempt at the start, Connor Bailey moved and hit the tape. In the replay, he was replaced by Kevin Małkiewicz who unfortunately fell on the track. The referee decided to start the run over without excluding any rider. The winner was Bewley, ahead of Zmarzlik and Lindgren. Małkiewicz arrived last.
The host pair – Zmarzlik and Bańbor – started very well in the seventh heat. Along the track, Pawlicki defeated the Motor’s youth rider and scored two points. Connor Bailey finished last.
Race eight was not particularly exciting. Łaguta won it. Bartek scored two points and Cierniak scored one. Andrzejewski finished without points.
Bartosz Zmarzlik had a very poor start in the thirteenth run. Along the track he passed his teammate Dominik Kubera. Unfortunately, despite his very ambitious riding, he was unable to overtake Bewley and Łaguta. Bewley won the last race in this event. Bartek finished second. Along the track, Artiom Łaguta overtook Jarosław Hampel and scored one point.
