Russian Roman Povazhny after the season 2013 decided to finish his speedway career. Main reason of this decision was the injury which he had last year. His last time on a track was on the 23rd of August during Individual Russian Championships. Now he says that he isn’t going to ride anymore even as a form of relax. – I don’t have any bike. All were sold – says Russian.
Povazhny also had an occasion to start in Speedway European Championships. Although he wasn’t successful he thinks it is really great event. – It’s really great idea. I like it very much. I think that we can say for sure that European Championships are better than World Championships – admits the rider. In SEC 2013 he was 19th with 9 points.
Roman reveals also that he totally resigns from speedway… - I will buy real estate so I change my work definitely – explains Russian.
His biggest successes are: 4th place during Individual World Championships U 21 (1997) and bronze medal in 2012 during Speedway World Cup. However he is very modest and admits that he has no reason to be proud. – I was riding for some time but generally I don’t have any successes – ends Roman Povazhny.
