Oleksandr Loktayev: I Feel Relief

In the rematch between ABRAMCZYK POLONIA Bydgoszcz and #ORZECHOWAOSADA PSŻ Poznań, the hosts won 51:38. However, the guests emerged victorious from the two-legged match and advanced to the semifinal stage. Oleksandr Loktayev significantly contributed to this result (11+1).

In an interview with ekstraliga.pl, the leader of the Poznań team shared his feelings after the match in Bydgoszcz. – I certainly feel relief, peace, satisfaction. Not to mention the physical effects of the falls – so far, there are none. I expect them in the coming days. As soon as possible, I will try to go to the rest and recovery zone and prepare for the upcoming matches – the speedway rider admitted. He also revealed whether the Poznań team felt calm with a 15-point advantage. – In Bydgoszcz this year, it is not easy for anyone. A good team, good riders. A very intense and interesting track. What we expected, we received – he admitted.

After the last match in Bydgoszcz, his riding was compared to the style of Emil Sayfutdinov. Does the Ukrainian also notice this similarity? – Honestly speaking, I don’t see anything in common with Emil. In his times, the track behaved completely differently. It was more grippy, and sometimes you had to ride where you ride – by the very “balloon.” For now, this track is constructed to the advantage of the hosts, and not everyone can ride like that. You have to be prepared for this track – said the rider.

The next meeting will be with INNPRO ROW Rybnik on the home track. How does Oleksandr Loktayev prepare for these events? – I don’t think about it. Now I think about my family. The next few days are for the family, but also rest, rehabilitation, recovery, and training. This is our whole life – summed up the speedway rider.
