SEC: Gdansk hosted the next to last round   For the second time in their history, the organizers of the European Championship came to Gdańsk. It seems that this was a sentimental return, because it was in this city, eight years ago, that the event began playing in a new formula, still valid today. The track in Gdańsk did not spoil the fans in recent days, but this time it was not possible to complain about boredom. Already the first series of starts delivered a lot of emotions, because it did not lack hard and impressive driving. In the second heat, Smektała and Madsen first dealt with Pawlicki, and then fought to the very end for victory. The same was true in the third race, where after the start Pieszczek (wild card) was leader, but first he was overtaken by Lambert and just at the finish line was caught by

Northern Talent Cup: action at TT Assen Race 1 Race 1 of Northern Talent Cup Round 4 didn't disappoint, with the battle going down to the final chicane and almost nothing deciding it at the line. But it was Belgian rider Lorenz Luciano (Junior Black Knights Team) who came out on top, just 0.044 ahead of Stepan Zuda (Motoracing23 Klub V ACR) over the line as the Czech rider took his first podium of the season in second. His compatriot and points leader Jakub Gurecky (JRT Brno Circuit) took third, incredibly from P20 on the grid. It was home hero Loris Veneman (Kahuna Security Racing) who took off like a shot from the front row, with some of the track wet and some dry but the Dutchman flying early.

The racetrack of Ortona is one of the best equipped in Italy and with its fast corners, long straights and challenging off-road section, action is guaranteed.

It was the first competition to be held outside Poland since the coronavirus pandemic turmoil. The initial runs showed us, that we could face a very fierce rivalry, because after two series of starts no specific favorites were detected and there was a lot of squeeze in the general classification. Lambert, Michelsen, Smektała and Bewley each had five points, Dudek and Logachev four each, followed by a group of four riders with three points in their account (Pawlicki, Milik, Huckenbeck, Madsen). The situation did not change significantly after the third series of starts and was still tight.
