For the second time in his career, Andzejs Lebedevs has claimed the title of Individual European Champion. The podium of the TAURON SEC 2024 was completed by Leon Madsen in second and Kacper Woryna in third place.
The first race of the day began with a dangerous incident involving Tom Brennan. The British rider took a nasty fall on the first bend, but after a moment, he managed to get up on his own. All of the first four races were won by riders starting from the inside lane. Leon Madsen, Anders Thomsen, Robert Chmiel, and Patryk Dudek all took advantage of the favorable inside starting position.
Madsen had a great start to the competition, which he confirmed by winning the fifth race after battling with Anders Thomsen over the distance. The final race of the second series went to Jacob Thorssell, who, after a strong start from the fourth lane, scored a 'three'.
The start of the third series was dramatic for Maciej Janowski. The Polish rider lost control on the last corner of the ninth race and collided hard with Jacob Thorssell in front of him. 'Magic' was immediately transported to the hospital. In the eleventh race, Andzejs Lebedevs secured a crucial win over Kacper Woryna, further solidifying his position at the top of the overall standings. The third series ended with Tom Brennan securing his first-ever victory in the TAURON SEC.
In the thirteenth race, a direct showdown between Lebedevs and Madsen took place. After an exciting battle, it was the Dane who came out on top. Once again, Anders Thomsen shone at the Śląski Stadium.
The fifth series began with a surprise victory by Robert Chmiel over Leon Madsen. The Polish rider, replacing Janusz Kołodziej, brought great joy to the fans gathered at the Śląski Stadium, finishing the main phase with ten points. The small margin in the overall standings between the Latvian and the Dane meant that in the twentieth race, Andzejs Lebedevs secured his second Individual European Championship. Anders Thomsen won the main phase, with Leon Madsen taking the second spot, qualifying for the final.
The newly crowned champion's journey in the fourth round of TAURON SEC 2024 ended in the 'last chance' race, while the final was completed by Kacper Woryna and Patryk Dudek. The final was won by Anders Thomsen, who lost only one point throughout the event. Leon Madsen finished second, with Kacper Woryna rounding out the podium.
