19.07.2024 20:48During the first match of the 11th round of PGE Ekstraliga, ORLEN OIL MOTOR Lublin hosted KRONO-PLAST WŁÓKNIARZ Częstochowa on their track. Ultimately, the Polish Team Champion won the match 48:42. The best junior of this clash was Wiktor Przyjemski. Lublin secured the bonus (99:81).
Right at the start of the event, Jack Holder fell after a tight start when Dominik Kubera widened his driving line. Fortunately, the Australian got up under his own power, and in the rerun Kubera led from the start, effectively blocking Michelsen and fending off Holder‘s attacks.
The third race was interrupted due to an uneven machine start. In the rerun, Zmarzlik closed the entire pack at the first bend and took the lead. Madsen, accelerating with each lap, spectacularly overtook the Pole at the last bend, passing him right by the fence.
A dramatic accident occurred in the next race, where two guest riders fell on the track. Woryna and Kupiec collided at the first bend, causing their fall. The first one got up by himself, but the junior had to be taken away by ambulance. In the rerun, Woryna led confidently, and Cierniak, riding wider, couldn’t catch up to him.
In the 9th race, the hosts made a better start, but Madsen immediately chose a wide line and took the lead on the opposite straight. Meanwhile, Michelsen skillfully drove under Cierniak on the second bend, which allowed KRONO-PLAST WŁÓKNIARZ to regain points.
A sensation occurred in the 11th race, where the pair of Michelsen – Woryna defeated the hosts 5:1. On the final straight, Kubera tried to attack the guests but was unsuccessful. In the next race, Bańbor moved on the start, penalizing himself, and a moment later left the track. Holder dominated with a huge lead. On the third lap, Halkiewicz had a defect – his rear tire punctured – but despite this, he managed to bring one point to the finish.
In the final race of the day, the guests started much better, forcing Zmarzlik to chase. Madsen quickly pulled away and confidently secured three points. The Pole managed to overtake Michelsen, but ran out of time to catch Madsen. The match ended with a score of 48:42 for the Polish champions.
