Polish Club Pairs Championships
The silver medal only. Andreas is not satisfied with the silver medal he fought with his mates for Polonia. It's been the first time when a foreigner rode in this tournament. The rules changed over last winter and Andreas really wanted to take part in the event. The management of the club was happy too as the rider's decision has been understood as a proof of Andreas' loyalty to Polonia Bydgoszcz.
Andreas didn't do well in the heat 11 only. Unfortunately it was the most important heat of the meeting - against the Czestochowa pair. Before this heat the team had decided to make some changes in set-ups which was not a good decision as it turned out afterwards. In the rest of the heats Andreas was first or second after his team mate PePe.
Czestochowa were definitely the best pair that night winning five heats 5:1 and one 4:2. None expected such a great performance of Slawomir Drabik. Polonia Bydgoszcz defended the silver medal which they won one year ago.
After the meeting Andreas said:
I'm not satisfied with the silver medal. Last week we had some serious problems with the bikes. My best three bikes have broken down. Today I used a brand new engine for the first time. It was good for this track but not fast enough. I'm a bit disappointed. Before the most important heat, against the Czestochowa pair, we had tried to correct some set-ups but as it turned out - it was a mistake. Besides, Sebastian Ulamek and Slawek Drabik were really fast today and they deserved this win. I wanted to ride in this tournament in the first term as well (the meeting was posponed due to rain). But I had to take part in the Swedish Championships so that's why I was not in the origin line-up.
