Stanislaw Krolak Memorial: Marczynski
runner-up in the Stanislaw Krolak
Memorial
Tomasz Marczynski was 2nd in the criterium Stanislaw Krolak Memorial held in the center of
Warsaw. Pawel Bernas (BDC MarcPol) collected the most amount of points and took the victory.
The 45-kilometer criterium consisted of fifteen 3-kilometer laps. The finish was placed in the
Old Town on the main street – Krakowskie Przedmiescie. The criterium was named after legendary
cyclist, Stanislaw Krolak, who was the first Polish winner of the Peace Race in 1956.
From the very start Maciej Paterski (CCC Polsat Polkowice) was very active but had to face three
BDC MarcPol riders – Pawel Bernas, Jaroslaw Kowalczyk and Robert Radosz. This 4-man group
didn’t last long since the hill on Bednarska street changed the situation in the front. Later Tomasz
Marczynski (CCC Polsat Polkowice) joined the leading riders and started collecting points on his
account. He attacked with Bernas and they were riding in duo for few laps. Pawel Franczak
(ActiveJet) also began to ride more aggressively.
At the halfpoint Bernas was leading with 10 point and Marczynski was only 1 point back. They
increased their points advantage on the next laps.
Pawel Bernas crossed the finish line in first place and claimed the victory in the criterium. He
outscored “orange” Tomasz Marczynski and Pawel Franczak.
