Polish icon Bartosz Zmarzlik raced to a 12-point maximum for Lublin as the PGE Ekstraliga champions ended visitors Zielona Gora’s play-off hopes with a 63-27 win on Friday.
The five-time Speedway GP world champion went unbeaten over four rides, with SGP star Jack Holder and SGP2 champion Wiktor Przyjemski also registering paid maximums on 10 paid 12 apiece.
Swedish star Fredrik Lindgren collected nine points, with Dominik Kubera scoring eight paid 11 and double SGP2 champion Mateusz Cierniak adding eight paid nine as the pair prepares for Saturday’s FIM SGP Challenge in Holsted, where the top four riders qualify for the 2026 Speedway GP series.
Lublin lead the PGE Ekstraliga standings going into the play-offs, which see them battle Torun, Wroclaw and Grudziadz for the league crown.
Speedway GP first substitute Leon Madsen topped the Falubaz scoring on eight paid 10 points ahead of his wild-card ride in Holsted tomorrow.
Defeat means Zielona Gora finish fifth in the PGE Ekstraliga – level on 15 points with Grudziadz. But Falubaz’s inferior point difference means they will contest the play-downs in a bid to avoid relegation to Metalkas 2. Ekstraliga, while Grudziadz bids for league-title gold after achieving their best-ever PGE Ekstraliga finish.
In the day’s other match, Speedway GP duo Martin Vaculik and Andzejs Lebedevs raced to 11 paid 12 points each for Gorzow as they won 51-39 at home to basement club Rybnik.
Both riders starred ahead of their appearance at the FIM SGP Challenge, where they are joined by Denmark’s Anders Thomsen, who scored a straight 11. Poland’s Oskar Fajfer collected 10 paid 12.
Double FIM Speedway Under-21 world champion Maksym Drabik topped the Rybnik scoring on 16 points, with compatriot Kacper Pludra adding nine paid 11 points.
The two clubs will compete in the PGE Ekstraliga play-downs, where they will also come up against Falubaz and Czestochowa.
