Will the Tournament in Guestrow Whet the Appetite for Gold? (Preview of the 3rd Final of TAURON SEC)
24.08.2024 08:31The third round of the Individual European Speedway Championships will take place at the stadium in Guestrow, Germany. After two rounds, Andzejs Lebedevs leads the interim classification, having managed to collect 24 points so far. The competition begins at 20:00. Broadcast on TVP Sport.
The same number of points as Lebedevs has been collected by Kacper Woryna. The podium is completed by Piotr Pawlicki, who has one point less than the aforementioned riders. The differences are still small enough that competitors like Leon Madsen, Mikkel Michelsen, and the recently crowned Individual Polish Champion – Maciej Janowski are still in the running for medals.
Due to an injury sustained in the quarter-final clash of the METALKAS 2nd League in Krosno, Vaclav Milik will not appear on the track in Guestrow. He will be replaced by the first reserve on the list – Jacob Thorssell. Interestingly, the Swede has already had the pleasure of participating in the Individual European Championships this season. In June in Debrecen, he started as a replacement for the injured Dimitri Berge. The TEXOM STAL rider had a phenomenal performance, finishing with a third-place podium.
It is also worth remembering that winning the TAURON Speedway Euro Championship not only grants a highly prestigious title but also entitles the winner to participate in the Grand Prix series in the next season.
