Janusz Kołodziej with promotion to the Grand Prix! Iversen and Lindback are back after a year of break!

It is almost a tradition that there is only one Pole in the GP Challenge competition. Five years ago, in 2014 in Poole, Krzysztof Kasprzak made his dreams of entering the elite of his dreams. In the 2015 season, Bartosz Zmarzlik and Piotr Pawlicki were promoted in the tournaments played at Rybnik. A year later, in the Swedish Vetlanda, Patryk Dudek won the promotion. During the 2017 season, on the Russian soil in Togliatti, Przemysław Pawlicki enjoyed the admission to the elite. Now Janusz Kołodziej has joined the group of lucky ones.

Fogo Unia player Leszno has had a big appetite for the fans from the start, and in the first three rounds he was second to none. He was not impressed by the desperately prepared trail that, after heavy rains, was torn apart. Krzysztof Kasprzak was not able to cope with the conditions, but he did not finish the race twice, and once he dropped out and passed the finish line far and wide. behind everyone. A moment later, he finally withdrew from the competition. Phil Morris treated Saturday's tournament in Landshut as a baptism of fire for players aspiring to fight for the world championship.

In addition to Kasprzak, Matej Zagar also started a terrible competition. The Slovenian in the first start scored two points, but after the next race in which he fell, he had to withdraw from the competition. In the corridors, there is a knee injury and a big question mark before Sunday's match in Wroclaw.

The Czechs, Vaclav Milik, had a big dream for the first three. The runner Betard Sparta hits the cycle of the Grand Prix in recent years, but without success, because every year he is lost in the most important tournament. This time it was similar. On the challenging Landshut trail, Milik failed to use even the advantage of the first starting number. He ran twice from the first starting grid, winning only three points in the red helmet

Niels-Kristian Iversen was the most serious rival of Kołodziej. After the fourth round, the Dane even chased the Pole into the overall standings and before the start of his last race, he could take advantage of the promotion to the next year 's cycle. He left the last race, which was enjoyed by Kołodziej, winning the entire competition.

Piotr Pawlicki has long been a good candidate for the promotion, who after three starts was at the top of the table, with seven points. Leszczynianin, the last two races, however, broke down, arriving at the third finish line. This determined the lack of promotion to the extra race for the third place bonus. He competed with Antonio Lindback and Craig Cook. The Brit was on the rise for more than two rounds, but to pass the Swede just before the finish!

Next year in the cycle of the Grand Prix 2019, we will certainly see: Janusz Kołodziej, Niels Kristian Ivernt and Antonio Lindback
