We are ahead of the third round of Speedway European Championships. This time, Europe's leading riders will come to North, to compete for points in Swedish Kumla. Half of the competitors fighting for the title of Individual European Championship had the opportunity to compete in the current season at ICA Maxi Arena. Which of them can boast the highest average?

 After the two SEC tournaments you are in the second place with the loss of just two points to Emil Sayfutdinov. Would you say that only in Kumla you will start the real battle for the gold medal?
- As always I will do my absolutely best in Kumla to score as many points as possible. And it would be great if I could pull back the two points on Emil, so we are on equal points before the final round.

 On Tuesday evening the eleventh round of Swedish Elitserien was held. In the most interesting match Indianerna Kumla lost on their home track with Elit Vetlanda 44:46. Great match had Emil Sayfutdinov who scored 16 points at ICA Maxi Arena.

 Speedway European Championships series rewards the regularity. Consistent collecting points is often more important than a single victory in a heat. It should be remembered, however, that the "threes" are very useful in the end of each tournament. Seeker of the first victory in Kumla will be local hero, Piotr Protasiewicz.

 The second edition of PGE International Individual Championship of Ekstraliga ended with the victory of Grigory Laguta. In the grand finale, "Grisha" defeated Piotr Pawlicki and Greg Hancock. Martin Vaculik finished the meeting fourth.

 Antonio Lindbaeck, who has taken the third place in the general classification of Speedway European Championships, appeared to be the best in Individual Swedish Championship. In the final the rider beat Andreas Jonsson, Peter Ljung and Joonas Kylmaekorpi.

 Janusz Kolodziej after two rounds Speedway European Championships occupies eighth place with fourteen points. To the fifth place he lost only two points, It seems, in Kumla will be great racing.

Nicki Pedersen won in Torun although Emil Sayfutdinov was faultless during the whole event. In Landshut Russian took the victory from Dane although he was really good since the beginning. After the two rounds Sayfutdinov is slightly better but two points of advantage over Nicki Pedersen is nothing and both of them know this.

 Between the fifth Martin Vaculik and the fourteenth in the general classification of SEC series, Hans Andersen the difference is minimum because only five points. No further explanations needed that fight for the medals and staying in European Championships is coming into decisive phase.

On Tuesday there was a try to hold two missed matches of Swedish Elitserien. Only half was successful because only in Motala the whole meeting was held. The hosts were better. In Malilla again rain was an obstacle.

 Janusz Kołodziej was the best Pole in last year Speedway European Championships series. He began this year’s struggle with not so successful start at MotoArena in Torun, but he clearly improved in Landshut. Will Koldi have enough time to stay in SEC?

 Eighth place in Torun, ninth in Landshut. It is not bad, but it could be better …
- Of course, it can always be better, but I also think that there is no tragedy after these two tournaments.
