Andzejs Lebedevs triumphed in the third round of the TAURON SEC 2024 in Güstrow. Leon Madsen and Rasmus Jensen completed the podium.
Lebedevs made a lightning start in the first race of the day, kicking off the competition with a victory. In the second race, the large crowd witnessed a thrilling battle between Jacob Thorssell and Rasmus Jensen, with the Dane coming out on top.
Jensen continued his winning streak in the second series, unexpectedly defeating Mikkel Michelsen and Piotr Pawlicki, who were among the top contenders at the halfway point of the TAURON SEC. Along with Jensen, Andzejs Lebedevs remained unbeaten. The Latvian rider capitalized on his speed and confidently dealt with Kacper Woryna and Leon Madsen in the eighth race, despite starting from the disadvantageous first gate.
Despite a rough start to the competition, Maciej Janowski made adjustments that allowed him to join the leaders. 'Magic' passed Patryk Dudek on the last lap of the tenth race. Dimitri Berge once again added three points to his tally, and after twelve races, the top competitors included Leon Madsen, Kacper Woryna, and Rasmus Jensen, all with seven points each.
An unusual incident occurred on the second bend of the third lap in the thirteenth race when Mikkel Michelsen's motorcycle broke down while he was leading. The three-time Individual European Champion suffered a dangerous-looking crash and was forced to withdraw from the rest of the round.
Ultimately, Andzejs Lebedevs emerged as the winner of the main phase. Along with him, Leon Madsen advanced to the final. Rasmus Jensen and Dimitri Berge took the two remaining spots in the 'last chance' race.
In the final, Leon Madsen made a phenomenal start and led confidently for the first two laps. However, the Dane made a mistake, which Andzejs Lebedevs seized upon. The Latvian rider maintained his lead and won his second round of this year's cycle. Rasmus Jensen crossed the finish line in third place.
