Winner of this year's Individual European Championship is hard to point. Flattened classification, small point-differences and many candidates to the top positions - all of that only rises the huge emotions that we are expecting. How will the riders of the world's best speedway league - PGE Ekstraliga, do in Rybnik?
- In one of the previous editions of Speedway Euro Championship, before the last round, there was a favourite - Nicki Pedersen. It seemed like it would have been a formality to reach the European Championship title. It all went in totally opposite way. Dane was defeated by Martin Vaculik - Stanisław Chomski reminds the story from 2013. - My riders from Stal Gorzów are currently in similar situation. Przemysław Pawlicki and Krzysztof Kasprzak are only few points away from the leader (Pawlicki 3 and Kasprzak 5). History can repeat itself.
Manager of the second PGE Ekstraliga finalist - Get Well Toruń, will keep his fingers crossed for Slovakian Martin Vaculik, however sees another rider as the main favourite to grab the title.
- Martin has already been the European Champion, so I think that after slightly worse performances in Daugavpils and Togliatti, he is not on fire that much. However, while knowing his professionalism, I am sure that in Rybnik he will fight for the podium - says Jacek Gajewski. In my opinion, the biggest candidate to gold is Grigorij Laguta. He has been racing great and moreover, he will be at his home track. This season was a really good one for him and it is clear that he wants to prove his efficiency.
There are more candidates to get the top positions in Speedway Euro Championship. Will Antonio Lindbaeck hold the leader's position? Or maybe at the end of the rivalry, gold will go to someone else?
- It is hard to get the answers for all possible questions, however I am really curious how will Vaclav Milik do - says manager of Get Well Toruń. - It has been a phenomenal season for the Czech rider. Recent meeting in Togliatti was another strong one for him. Currently, it is Antonio Lindbaeck leading the stake, however Swede has been struggling recently. He did not have a good round in the world championship, not starting in Poland and in Sweden did not ride too. It can have an influence on his performance. Generally, the whole meeting is about to be very passionate. Flattened table, huge names. It can really be a very interesting round. Fans will surely be satisfied.
