The play-off phase of the 2024 PGE Ekstraliga season will begin this coming weekend. Undoubtedly, huge emotions await the fans. But before the final battle for medals begins, let’s return for a moment to the regular round.

ORLEN OIL MOTOR Lublin – the current Polish champions comfortably won the regular round. Fredrik Lindgren had a significant impact on this. The current runner-up in the world can boast as many as 18 bonuses, which is the best result in the entire PGE Ekstraliga. In 14 matches, 10 had at least one bonus: 7 at home and 3 away.

BETARD SPARTA Wrocław – the team didn’t fare well away. They suffered 6 defeats, only drawing in Częstochowa. The last time Wrocławians didn’t win away was in 2015. Interestingly, they became Polish runners-up then.

ZOOLESZCZ GKM Grudziądz – Grudziądz team achieved a great success. They advanced to the play-off phase. This feat would have been difficult to accomplish without Kacper Łobodziński, who is having the best season of his career. He has the 3rd best race point average among juniors and the best by a youth rider on the team since the club’s return to PGE Ekstraliga in 2015.

NOVYHOTEL FALUBAZ Zielona Góra – interestingly, for the first time since 2007, none of the riders representing Zielona Góra made it to the TOP10 best race point averages in PGE Ekstraliga.

KRONO-PLAST WŁÓKNIARZ Częstochowa – Częstochowa team had the fewest wins in the regular season since 2014. Back then, it was 3, this year, 4.

FOGO UNIA Leszno – Leszno team left PGE Ekstraliga after many years. Among the riders, one of the leaders was Andzejs Lebedevs. Interestingly, the Latvian scored as many triples as in the previous season (16). He was ranked one place higher than in the 2023 season and had a better average by 0.01.
