European Under 23 Team Speedway Championship:
Team Poland grabs the title
After a few year’s break in organising international events, in very hot weather conditions Kraków hosted the Final of the European Under 23 Team Speedway Championship.
Thanks to the excellent job of the organizers and staff, the track ensured many good racing lines for young riders, which turned into an exciting challenge.
Under 23 riders had been passionate about winning the title and fought hard for heat wins.
From the beginning, it was obvious that the way to the gold medal would be only possible by beating the Polish Team. In the middle of the event, after heat 8, the paper turned a bit and the Czech Team was able to get closer thanks to a few mistakes of the Polish.
Home hero Mateusz Cierniak, two times U21 World Champion, did not drop a point and helped his team with 15 points to grab the European title.
Second step of the podium for the Czech Team, with rider Jan Kvech who showed his class and dropped only 2 points, as he gained 13 out of 15 possible points.
Third position for the Danish Team. They struggled at the beginning of the meeting but then scored important points to secure the bronze medal.
Top three
- Poland (Kowalski, Krawczyk, Banbor, Przyjemski, Cierniak)
- Czech Republic (Klima, Kamenik, Macek, Benar, Kvech)
- Denmark (Basso, Nagel, Andersen, Pedersen, Pedersen)
