After two previous editions, which didn’t end successfully, the Dane hopes for a breakthrough and to improve his results. His current form in the PGE Ekstraliga, along with his fighting spirit on the track, suggest he is capable of challenging his opponents and engaging in equal competition with the best riders. Time will tell if his third start in the Individual International Championship of the Ekstraliga Zenon Plech Memorial will be groundbreaking for him. Will the Łódź Moto Arena turn out to be lucky for him?
