FIM Europe revealed a starting list for the first qualifying round to SEC Challenge. The line-up includes riders, who competed in the last editions of the series.
This year's Individual European Championship will start on April 25th in Terenzano, where riders will compete about four places, which will promote them to SEC Challenge. Other three qualifying rounds will take place in Daugavpils (29.04), Debrecen (01.05) and Mureck (01.05).
The line-up for Terenzano includes riders, who participated in the SEC series in recent years. The most experienced of them is Martin Smolinski, who raced in 54 races of SEC, in which he scored 49 points.
The one to watch is Jan Kvech, who raced during the last round of TAURON SEC 2022, which was held in Pardubice. The Czech Rep representative scored seven points, and left a great impression, especially after heat 14, in which he crossed the finish line ahead of Leon Madsen, Andzejs Lebedevs and Bartosz Smektała.
