Bronze medalist from the 2021 season and a competitor who came very close to the podium in TAURON SEC 2022, Patryk Dudek, wants to shine again in the European Championship. We talk with the Pole about how the tournaments look from his perspective and what makes their prestige grow year by year.
Patryk Dudek, Janusz Kołodziej, Leon Madsen, Mikkel Michelsen, Dominik Kubera – just this star-studded lineup is impressive. Top European riders are increasingly eager to compete in the SEC series. He points out several important details about TAURON SEC.
- The European champion earns a ticket to the World Championship. The prestige of these events is significant, and in my opinion, the lineup is very good. The tracks are selected in such a way that we have a lot of competition. There have been times when the tournaments have been more exciting than the Grand Prix. The organizers make sure that the racing is enjoyable for us and for the fans who watch the competition - said Patryk Dudek.
The bronze medalist from the 2021 season also noticed that organizing events on tracks like the one at the Silesian Stadium in Chorzów is proof that the SEC series is moving forward. Soon, the Polish rider will once again enter the battle for top positions. Let's recall that this year we will see each other in Częstochowa, Guestrow, Bydgoszcz, and Pardubice.
- For two years, I was stand on the podium, but last year there was a slump towards the end, and I had to say goodbye to the dream of a medal in SEC as well. We have a new season, a new opportunity, so of course, I will fight. I will be satisfied with silver, but the goal is gold - said Dudek.
The first round of the TAURON SEC 2023 cycle is scheduled for June 17. After the tournament in Częstochowa, the riders will have a two months break. On August 5, there will be a round in Guestrow, on September 9, we will meet in Bydgoszcz, and the grand finale awaits us on September 22 in Pardubice. Everything indicates that the 10th anniversary of the European Championships will provide us with an unforgettable of experiences.
