Motor Lublin eyes vital wins in Toruń and Zielona Góra after Lindgren injury

Motor Lublin’s season has taken a sharp turn after Swedish rider Fredrik Lindgren suffered a broken ankle, sidelining him for the remaining fixtures. The team has lost each of its last three meetings, prompting coach Jacek Ziółkowski to stress the need for league points rather than bonus points. He said, “Trzy punkty w tabeli dopisane… każdy punkt na obcym terenie będzie dla nas na wagę złota.”

Motor will travel to Toruń and Zielona Góra in the next two rounds, matches that could determine whether the club remains in the top‑four playoff race. Ziółkowski highlighted the improving form of Martin Vaculik and Mateusz Cierniak as key to securing those points.

In the same meeting, 16‑year‑old Slovenian rider Sven Cerjak made his PGE Ekstraliga debut, scoring his first two championship points after a zero‑point start. He exclaimed, “Czuję się świetnie. To był mój pierwszy wyścig i już zdobyłem dwa punkty,” and expressed hope for more starts, potentially stepping in for the injured Lindgren.
