Łaguta or Zmarzlik? Zmarzlik or Łaguta? The exciting Grand Prix season will end on Friday and Saturday in Toruń. The Pole has a great rival who stands a chance in life and who can block the way for him to compensate for Mauger’s achievement.

Cycle Grand Prix has not seen such an even fight for the title of individual world champion for a long time. In the past, there have been many fierce battles between two riders for the most valuable speedway trophy, who decided everything among themselves at the very end, but there has never been such a dominance over the others with such a minimal difference between those involved. Even before the September tournament in the Danish Vojens WP, SportoweFakty introduced what it looked like in the past, which you can read about HERE.
Artiom Łaguta is ahead of defending the title Bartosz Zmarzlik one small point . They both drove a huge distance for everyone. They have won four rounds this season and have shared the first two places from four. They are the fastest, the best, they were able to get out of trouble and provide spectators with phenomenal duels with each other. The finals during the second day of the competition in Wrocław or Lublin were a display of the Pole, and then the Russian.
Motoarena im. Mariana Rosego has repeatedly delivered the “premium product” during the struggles of the world’s leaders. The circumstances for Friday and Saturday to be the same are almost perfect. A phenomenal title fight with minimal differences on a track that has always allowed good racing at GP events. In addition, mutual respect between Łaguta and Zmarzlik. They have a very good relationship, they spare themselves courtesy and compliments.

The Polish representative is more experienced in the fight for high positions in the IMŚ. His rival from Russia found himself in this situation for the first time in his life. Zmarzlik in the previous two years reached for the world championship, where everything was decided at the end of the last competition. The 26-year-old now has a chance to match to Ivan Mauger . The New Zealander is the only speedway rider in history to win the gold medal three years in a row (1968-1970).
The Polish GP is undoubtedly the event of a sports weekend in Poland. It electrifies many. WP SportoweFakty has already been expressed by, among others, former cycle medalist Ryan Sullivan ( “a spectacle in front of us, for which we are waiting impatiently” ) or his former manager Jacek Gajewski (( “even the last race of the Saturday tournament may decide about championship “) Both indicate the strengths of the candidates for the title, breaking down their profiles into prime factors.
Apart from the battle for gold and silver in Toruń will also compete for bronze. Here, only two points have an advantage Emil Sajfutdinow over Fredrik Lindgren . Both the Russian and the Swede are competing for their third medal of this color in their careers. Both drive the 2021 GP conscientiously and evenly. They reached the final five times. The Russian always reports at least in the semi-finals, the Swede was missing only once at this stage, but he has more places on the podium.
If the newly minted Polish team champion Maciej Janowski will not scoff at the matter and he will avoid any mishaps in the Copernicus City (and best if he repeats the results from last year, when he was twice second), should not fall out of the top six in the general classification. The Pole must watch out for Leon Madsen chasing him . With his head held high and at least one race won, he would like to say goodbye to the cycle Krzysztof Kasprzak , who is only the sixteenth in the scoreboard.
Less than two months ago, in the two-day competition in Lublin, made Dominik Kubera , now we wish the same to Paweł Przedpełski . The Torunian will perform at home with a “wild card” and will do everything to pass a good rub before next year’s ride in the GP as a regular participant. – I think that Paweł can easily be promoted to the semi-finals, and what will happen next, it remains to be seen – he admitted Tomasz Bajerski .
Starting numbers were drawn on Thursday for both tournaments (you will see them HERE ), on Friday a few hours before the start of training will take place in the first run. After that, what is most important will be left, i.e. driving on full throttle. For the championship.
