Kai Huckenbeck showed another successful performance in SEC 2021. In Güstrow, the German finished on eighth position, but the number of points he scored, put Huckenbeck in sixth place in the interim classification of the cycle.
As in Bydgoszcz, Huckenbeck failed to win a race, but four second places meant that he scored a total of nine points in Güstrow. The German stresses that if he could win at least one race, he would probably advance to the race off.
- Though meeting again. I missed the race off by one point or a heat win so it was a bit unfortunate but at the end it's nine points in European Championship and of course - I take it. I think I can be happy about it.
Thanks to two even performances, Huckenbeck is now on sixth place in the interim classification of the cycle. He is three points short of the TOP 5, which guarantees a spot in the SEC for next season.
- I'm right in mid of the table. I will keep fighting. TOP 5 is the main goal right now. I don't want to put any pressure on myself. We'll see what happens.
The third round of SEC 2021 will take place in Gdańsk next Saturday. Huckenbeck has raced on this track several times and will be one of those riders who know the surface there.
- I think, Gdańsk is a bit of a special track. It's quite slick and most of the time is all about the start. That day, you need to make perfect starts.
