Bartosz Zmarzlik is unquestionably having a great season.
Ekstraliga
In Poland with Gorzów he has a heat average of 2.375 and is the best placed Pole and the fourth best rider in that category this season. Although his team have struggled, he has thrived and won the prestigious one day race, the PGE IMME (the Individual International Ekstraliga Championship) on 12 July.
World Championship
Second in last year World Championships, this year Zmarzlik has won both the Slovenian and Warsaw GPs. That has helped him to climb up to third place on the overall rankings just six points behind leader, Leon Madsen.
Elitserien
In Sweden he has not just helped Elit Vetlanda Speedway to a second place at the end of the regular season - he is the reason Vetlanda have climbed to that spot. He is single-handedly responsible for over 30% of the team's points this year.
He has ridden in all 16 matches this season, in total, 81 heats. But what makes the Pole's season exceptional is his results. He has won 70 of those heats - picking up three points each time - and has never come last in a single one of them.
It works out as a heat average of 2.840 and has collected 230 points for the club. At home it goes up to 2.949 P/H meaning he is almost unbeaten in Vetlanda. In fact, Zmarzlik has been first in all but two heats he had started at their home arena.
All in all, he has dropped only 13 points ALL SEASON, less than 1 per match.
It is truly mind blowing and he is as good an unbeatable in Sweden this year.
All this and he is only 24 years old.
The Future?
With the playoffs in Sweden, the rest of the World Championships and probably another 15 years to go in his career, the future looks bright for this young Polish star.
