This year's Speedway Euro Championship series is the most levelized since the formula has changed. There are 10 riders fighting for the top position and this kind of situation in the individual meetings is extremely rare. Will this distance between riders cause that in Rybnik, fans will witness additional heats?
It's quite probable. Let's remind that in both cases: fighting for medals and staying in the cycle, when the equal amount of points happen, additional heat is taken. Therefore, it may not end with 22 heats in Rybnik.
At this moment, SEC leader - Antonio Lindbaeck has got 2-point advantage over Grigorij Laguta and Vaclav Milik. Meanwhile, 10th Sayfutdinov is losing only 6 points, which in perspective of five or even six heats (including the final one) is a difference possible to catch up. Fans, who will attend the Rybnik stadium on September 17 will witness some incredible emotions then.
- This is the most interesting up-and-coming final in the history. We are all excited that in Rybnik, fighting for every point will be extremely important. Noone can let himself to make some bad heats - says Jan Konikiewicz from One Sport.
In case of a situation when at the TOP 5 spots guaranteeing a promotion to SEC 2017, we will have few riders with the same amount of points, an additional heat will be taken. If there will be more than four of such riders, then the referee will make a special 'small table' and a mini-tournament will be held. After doing so, we will meet the medalists of this year's European Championship and the five permanent riders of SEC 2017.
