Platinum Motor Lublin defeated ZOOLeszcz GKM Grudziądz on their home track 55:35 on Friday, in an event of the seventh round of the PGE Ekstraliga. Bartosz Zmarzlik scored fourteen points.

Tarasenko made the best start while Bartek lagged back. However, Zmarzlik broke through to the second place on the straight, and Tarasenko landed at the end. The race ended with Max Fricke winning, and one point for the hosts was scored by Frederik Lindgren.

The fifth race was very interesting. Again, Tarasenko had a great start, but Bartosz Zmarzlik overtook him on the second bend of the first lap. In the fight for one point on the straight, Pedersen proved to be better than Bańbór.

Fricke replaced the poorly performing Jakobsen as part of the tactical reserve. The race ended with a 4:2 win for the Platinum Motor Lublin pair. Bartek was the winner. Fricke scored two points. Cierniak came third, and Chugunov was last to arrive.

In the thirteenth run Zmarzlik blocked Fricke on the first bend and scored another three points. One point was scored by Jakobsen because Cierniak did not finish the race due to a motorcycle defect.

The last run was dominated by the duo of hosts: Zmarzlik and Cierniak, who – after a good start – defeated a pair of guests: Fricke and Tarasienko.
