Sixth round of Polish PGE Ekstraliga behind us. In the main event of the round, SPAR Falubaz Zielona Góra lost to Fogo Unia Leszno 36:54 at their home track. Host team could not use Grzegorz Walasek as a starter due to injury. Leszno, however was pleased with a comeback of Tobiasz Musielak (after collarbone injury). We had 2 derby meetings in that round: KS Toruń - MRGarden GKM Grudziadz and PGE Stal Rzeszów - Unia Tarnów. Both were taken by the hosts. Still no points for the current Polish Champions - MoneymakesMoney.pl Stal Gorzow, who lost in Wroclaw with the local BETARD Sparta 40:50.

After really poor round for Nicki Pedersen in Holsted, Emil Sajfutdinow and Peter Kildemand felt their chance to win European Champion title.

In the second, very interesting match Holsted won with Esbjerg Motorsport with only one point. Nicki Pedersen and Niels Kristina Iversen stood opposite each other.

Two rounds – two victories, that was Nicki Pedersen’s result. He was aiming to a victory in Speedway European Championships series. The third round took place on his home track so experts agreeably claimed – “Power” has to ensure the title in Holsted…
The fourth round of Swedish Eliserien ended with full set of hosts’ victories. Teams from Ekilstuna and Motala won full set of points for the first time this season.
