Togliatti appeared real hit the jackpot. Full stadium, great atmosphere and fight at each place of the track. Everybody with smile on a face recalls Russian round of SEC so it would be a sin not to come back to this great moments which we experienced last year.
The second round of Individual European Championships was organized at the beautiful stadium named Anatolij Stepanov. It belongs to the home club, Mega Lada. The tournament was organized perfectly and there was really high temperature so the track was great to fight on the whole length. The stadium was full of people.
Although there can be 15 thousand people on the stadium, that day there were definitely more. Those, who decided to come, didn’t regret. That evening they were the witnesses of great emotions. After twenty exciting and dramatic heats local hero, Emil Sajfutdinow won. Second was Nicki Pedersen. Grigorij Laguta stood on the lowest step of the podium. “The tournament in Russia was the best long time since.” – such comment could be read on the official website of FIM Europe.
Although it was difficult logistics operation, everybody delivered the goods thanks to which the riders had no problems to get almost 1000 km. from the capital city of Russia. It is already on Sunday at 8 p. m. (local time) when we will be the witnesses of the second round of Speedway European Championships. Emil Sajfutdinow, who was close to the final in Gustrow, surely counts on a good score. Nicki Pedersen also would like to score many points to make another step to the European Champion title. But last year champion, Martin Vaculik after not very good score in Germany also would like to improve. We will definitely not miss emotions!
We start at 6 p. m. (CET). Transmission only on Eurosport.
