 In the first round of the Speedway European Championships in Torun you took the seventh place. Is it a good result?

- For sure I wanted more. I hoped that I will manage to be in the last chance heat. Unfortunately I was unable to – I scored eight points and it turned out that it was unfortunately not enough.

 The event itself, however, could be liked, because there was a lot of fight ...

- Yes, the rivalry was really amazing. In each heat was tough fight, tough event for us, but the fans certainly could enjoy it. Every rider fought for every point. I must admit that during Grand Prix I have not seen such heats.

Recently in Torun, you did well during Challenge. This time, as we said, it was a little worse. Did the track surprise you, was it different then?

- You can say so. It was certainly different, because this time it was slick . During Challenge it was grippy and I rode better.

The next round will take place in Ladshut. I guess you have not had the opportunity to race there too often ...

- Yes, you're right - I rode there once during Speedway Best Pairs Cup event. I hope that I will like the track this time more and I will score more points than in Torun.

What result would be satisfying for you, is taking part in the last chance heat your goal of a minimum?

- No, no. The top three (laughter).

The third round will be held while on the track, which I think you know very well ...

- Yes, I ride for the local club in Kumla, so I know the track very well indeed. But this is not certain that I will race there very well. Sometimes you know the track and the result is bad. For now, it is still a hard thing to predict, after the second round it will be known a little bit more.

Your Polish team MrGarden GKM Grudziadz recently narrowly lost with Unia Leszno after a great match. There was also quite a lot of fight, as in Torun, during SEC. Is such a performance provide even more motivation to race?

- Of course, fight to the end for us riders is a great thing. I am always strongly motivated then and that is what makes fans like watching speedway and this is what it is about.

In the SEC you compete with your brother Grigory. Do you treat these heats somehow specially?

- No, no. For me, Grigory is just a rival. There is nothing special. We also meet during league matches in different teams sometimes, so we are used to it.
