I'm really happy because of my win in Ostrów and that last heat of mine, which was close to perfection. I managed to defend the advantage over Antonio Lindbaeck and stood on the podium again - said Nicki Pedersen.
Emil Sayfutdinov became the European Champion for the second time in a row. Russian assured his golden medal after only 4 starts in the Great Final of SEC in Ostrów Wielkopolski. However, his beginnings in that meeting were not that good, proper corrections in the setups let him reach the ultimate triumph in the meeting.
On Sunday, in Poland, first matches deciding about the medals' holders were taken. Unia Tarnów won at the Motoarena and therefore got closer to the bronze. In Częstochowa, Betard Sparta Wrocław, riding as the hosts, lost with FOGO Unia Leszno, who made a big step towards the golden medals.
Emil Sayfutdinow won the second European Championship title. In the big final in Ostrow Wielkopolski he scored 9 points and then he withdrawn from the next races. In Ostrow won Nicki Pedersen. Second was Janusz Kołodziej and the third place took Antonio Lindbaeck.
It was exactly noon, when riders who will start their fight for points in SEC for the last time, appeared at the track in Ostrów. Antonio Lindbaeck and Nicki Pedersen showed up.
We're only hours away from the Great Final of Speedway European Championships. On September 19 at 7 pm SEC riders will appear at the track for the last time.
Local club native, having still a big group of fans, first and so far the only one rider from Ostrów Wielkopolski, who's a permanent participant of Speedway European Championship series.
For the second time in a row, Elit Vetlanda reached the Swedish Championship title. In the 2nd leg of the final clash, they defeated Indianerna Kumla 52:26 and caught up the first match's 10-point loss. The most pointing rider was the hosts' representative - Bartosz Zmarzlik, who got the maximum. Referee decided to end the match after 14 heats because of the rain.
On this Saturday, new European Champion 2015 will be known. SEC Final at the Municipal Stadium in Ostrów Wielkopolski is a great speedway festival - thanks to incredible racing at the track, but also because of many additional attractions prepared specially for the fans.
Before the last round in Ostrów Wielkopolski, you're focused more on the fight for the golden medal or rather securing 2nd place in SEC?
- I never focus on getting 2nd!! When there still is a chance for winning the gold medal I will defiantly give it a shot.
As opposed to the last season, this time Kumla's Indians reached the advantage (and it's quite a big one) before the 2nd leg of the Elitserien's final. For the guests, it could have ended even worse, but luckily they had Emil Sayfutdinov in their team. Russian star was simply brilliant on that day in Kumla. Hosts won 50:40 and before today's match they've got a 10 point advantage.
On September 19, Final Round of Speedway European Championships will be held. Therefore, some traffic problems around the Municipal Stadium can appear.
