On 17th of September, he's got a chance to become the third rider from his country to reach the Individual European Champion title, even though in the last year, he ended 11th. Now, he's only 2 points away from the leader, dreaming about the win.
For Vaclav Milik, current season is his career's best. 23 y.o. rider from Czech Republic has improved his results not only in the league meetings, but also the individual ones. Rivalry in the Speedway Euro Championship is the best proof.
In the general classification of European Championship, he is currently third - 2 points behind leading Antonio Lindbaeck, who will ride in Rybnik with a golden race jacket. Milik could have been losing even more points, if not for the exclusion in the race-off heat in Togliatti.
- I got quite a lot points in Russia, even though it was my first start there. We found a right setup. For the last two starts, I had perfectly set bike and it was fun to race. And then, when I was able to race really well, referee made a decision he made. I got 10 points, could have gained more, but nevertheless, I am happy - said after the meeting in Togliatti.
Milik is one of many candidates to gold and on this Saturday, he will have a chance to follow the steps of other Czech riders - Bohumil Brhel and Ales Dryml, who consecutively in 2001 and 2012 stood at the top step of the European Championship podium.
- I really like what I'm looking at while checking the overall SEC classification - says Milik. - I will do everything to make it even better.
Final Round of the Speedway Euro Championship is taking place on September 17 in Rybnik. Start of the meeting is set to 7 PM CET.
- I was representing the club from this city for 2 years, but in this year, when we came to Rybnik with my current Ekstraliga team, the track was totally different than before - says 23-year-old rider. However, I think that I know how to set my bike there for the Great Final of SEC. Final setup will be tested during the practive, but I do count on some good starts and a lot of points.
Vaclav Milik is having a concrete plan for the round ending the SEC in 2016.
- I would like to secure the TOP5 guaranteeing the spot for the next year. However, a chance to get the medal has appeared and I want to take it. My aim is to stand on the podium - ended Czech rider.
