So far they met in SEC in four races. Sayfutdinov triumphed three times, Pedersen was better only once, but during the final in Torun. In the Polish league they start in one team, in Sweden last Monday they stood opposite each other again. Who was better this time?
On Monday, postponed match of Swedish Elitserien was held. Elit Vetlanda came to Malilla, to fight for two league points. In the visiting team start the current European champion, Emil Sayfutdinov. The leader of hosts who is Nicki Pedersen, who currently is taking the second place in SEC.
In the clash of the two riders Russian was better again. What's more, every time Sayfutdinov stood in front of the tape with Pedersen, his team won the race double. Nicki Pedersen will have to work hard really hard to make up the loss to the leader of the series. Currently it is two point loss.
It is also worth to add that on the track in Kumla Emil Sayfutdinov is doing a little better. In the meeting Indianerna - Elit Vetlanda, Russian scored 16 points in six starts, Pedersen, on the other hand, in the match Indianerna - Dackarna scored 11 and one bonus. Thus, it seems that in Kumla, during the third round of Speedway European Championships, "the Russian torpedo" is simply doomed to success. It must be remembered, however, that this week will be very exhausting for the leader of the series. Will it affect the form of Sayfutdinov? We'll find out about it on Saturday!
