This coming weekend, the first round of the Polish Motorcycle Racing Championship will take place in Poznań, with four residents of Bolesławiec competing. Two of them (Daniel Biedrawa and Mariusz Durynek) will race in the class for advanced rookies. The others (Patryk Przybyło and Marek Szewczyk) will compete in the Pretendent class. “It is the green class for complete beginners taking part in a race for the first time. It is an open class. It includes riders without licenses,” Daniel Biedrawa tells the IstotneInformacje.pl portal Daniel Biedrawa.

Of the four motorcyclists from our city, Durynek has the most experience; he will take part in the Polish championships for the third time.
