Polish star Kacper Woryna was taken to hospital after crashing out of Poland’s PGE Ekstraliga third-place play-off on Saturday.
Woryna crashed on the first turn of heat one and was taken to hospital for checks, but he returned to collect his bronze medal as Lublin saw off Leszno 56-34 in the second leg for a 100-80 aggregate win.
In his absence, Slovak star Martin Vaculik led the charge on 16 paid 18 points – going unbeaten by an opponent over six rides.
Six-time Speedway GP world champion Bartosz Zmarzlik racked up 14 points, while Swedish star Fredrik Lindgren raced to 11 paid 12 and Bartosz Banbor bagged nine paid 12. Aussie ace Ben Cook tallied 12 for Leszno.
The battle for gold reaches its climax as table-topping Wroclaw bids to overturn a 55-35 aggregate deficit against reigning champions Torun in the PGE Ekstraliga play-off final at the Olympic Stadium on Sunday.
