Scott Beaumont has been the man in form in 2015 with 2nd place finishes at round 1 and 2. He comes into this race leading the overall points and definitely looking for the win. Round 1 winner Quentin Derbier is 2nd in points and will be looking to bounce back from a tough race in Fort William at round 2. Joost Wichman, winner at round 2 is currently considering racing again this weekend in Poland. It would be great to see the former 4X World Champion racing again in Poland. It will also be great to see both Felix Beckeman and Blake Nielson returning from injuries to get their 2015 seasons started.

In the women's race, Helene Fruhwirth will enter this race as the clear favourite. The 2014 4X ProTour Champion will be looking to extend her 2015 Championship points lead in Poland. Julia Lackas, Natasha Bradley and Katerina Brauer will all be looking to challenge Helene for the win.
