The 10th round of the PGE Ekstraliga is behind us, which brought a lot of emotions and unexpected outcomes. First of all, the victory of KS APATOR Toruń over ORLEN OIL MOTOR Lublin and the high win of the newcomer from Zielona Góra over FOGO UNIA Leszno.

  • Emil Sajfutdinow had an outstanding performance, scoring 13 points in 5 races. The Toruń leader faced and defeated Jack Holder twice. Interestingly, Sajfutdinow has a streak of 9 consecutive victories over the Australian. The last time Holder beat Emil was in 2021. In PGE Ekstraliga, they have competed 19 times, with a score of 14:5 for the current KS APATOR Toruń rider.
  • The match between ZOOLESZCZ GKM Grudziądz and BETARD SPARTA Wrocław was a breakthrough for Kacper Pludra. For the first time this season, he scored points in every race he participated in.

  • Marcel Kowolik also had a breakthrough in Grudziądz. It was his first away points in his PGE Ekstraliga career, scoring 3 points.
  • For NOVYHOTEL FALUBAZ Zielona Góra, it was already the 5th match of the season at their own stadium. Interestingly, it was the 5th time the riders competed according to the second starting set.

  • Martin Vaculik has been phenomenal at the stadium in Częstochowa in recent years. Since 2019, he hasn’t scored zero at Olsztyńska. The last time was during the match for 3rd place #CZEZIE. Since then, including this 10th round of the 2024 season, Vaculik has an average of 2.444 points per race at the stadium in Częstochowa.
  • On the other hand, Daniel Bewley definitely doesn’t like the track in Grudziądz. The BETARD SPARTA Wrocław rider has notched 6 points and a bonus in 5 starts over the last 3 years. His average at the track in Grudziądz is only 1.300 points per race since the beginning of his career.
