It was certainly a tense and tight qualifying affair with the lead of the session changing regularly as riders got to grips with the course at Teterow. In the end though it was the Polish superstar Bartosz Zmarzlik who made it through as the overall winner, giving him his choice of gates for the main event on Saturday evening.

Bartosz Zmarzlik topped qualifying in Teterow on Saturday, narrowly beating out Robert Lambert. Zmarzlik makes it four out of four, being the only man to top a qualifying session so far this season.

Leon Madsen had taken the lead early on before Great Britain’s Tai Woffinden went in front. However, Woffinden ended the session fifth fastest with Madsen down in seventh.

After that Zmarzlik started to get into the groove, exchanging the lead with Lambert and it was the Polish star who ended up on top with a time of 14.399.

That gave him his choice of gate for the main event and he selected group 13 up front, a change from his usual 5. Lambert snapped up 5 and the third-placed Maciej Janowski went with 4.

Elsewhere, Anders Thomsen had a disappointing afternoon, being the man who was bottom of the pack. He'll be hoping he can turn his fortune around in tonight's main event.

Last weekend's winner in Prague, Martin Vaculik, was the ninth fastest man and went with 12 during the draw.
