On Tuesday, the local league in the Czech Republic was inaugurated with four teams entering this year's competition. The team from Pardubice - with Andzejs Lebedevs as the leading figure - secured a win. The Latvian scored 15 points in five starts.

The Latvian didn't slow down and, a day later, participated in a Danish league meeting. His Fjelsted team competed against Sønderjylland at their home venue. Ultimately, after a fierce match, the hosts triumphed. The 2017 Individual European Champion added 16 points to the team's score. In the second match, Esbjerg faced Slangerup, with Mikkel Michelsen and others appearing on the track. Due to rainfall, the competition was stopped after the first two races. The current European Champion won one of them.

On Friday, the second round of the PGE Ekstraliga began with a meeting between Apator Toruń and Fogo Unia Leszno.

However, this state did not last long, as Toruń quickly gained the advantage in subsequent races. Eventually, Apator triumphed 59:31. The third-highest scorer for the hosts was Patryk Dudek (10+2), while Andzejs Lebedevs added five points to the Leszno team's score.
