Danish racer Mikkel Michelsen picked up a huge last-heat win as champions Torun snatched a 46-44 victory at home to newly-promoted Leszno in the PGE Ekstraliga on Sunday.
Michelsen raced to a 4-2 with partner Emil Sayfutdinov over Leszno duo Piotr Pawlicki and Keynan Rew in heat 15 to seal the points for Torun on a day when both sides produced rock-solid team performances.
Michelsen totalled 12 paid 13 points, including three race wins. He was backed up by nine paid 10 from Sayfutdinov, with Speedway GP star Robert Lambert adding eight and German international Norick Blodorn scoring seven. Patryk Dudek picked up five paid six.
Former Speedway GP star Pawlicki led the Leszno scoring on 11 paid 12, while SGP newcomer Nazar Parnitskyi notched nine and Aussie racer Rew bagged eight paid nine.
The day’s other meeting between Zielona Gora and Grudziadz was postponed due to rain and will now take place on Thursday.
