For the first time ever in Poland, the European Supercross Championship in Gdansk is getting closer. This Saturday in Ergo Arena riders from 15 countries will fight for the European Champion title. Freddy Verherstraeten has already started building the track. Starting lists are almost full, but there are still free spots for riders who would like to join the competition last minute.
The track will be built with over 4 000 tons of dirt, that is about 170 truckloads. As always Freddy designed a safe and challenging track, which will definitely be exciting for fans to watch, as well as for the riders to ride. The track features include impressive jumping sections along with popular whoops, which make riders face a specific challenge – a very fast, demanding and technical track.
Besides the four European Championship classes (SX, SX250, SX125, SX85) there will be also a SX65 show race. Who will find the track the most difficult? Last year’s competitions showed that age is not important here, and the youngest riders gave a show of incredible skills and racing.
In the starting lists, many Polish riders known from the Polish Motocross Championship can be found. There will also be riders who delighted the Polish audience last year during Supercross debut in Lodz, as well as new strong competitors who will put to the test last year’s winners.
Supercross is all about excitement, energy and pure adrenaline rush, so the event is expected to be spectacular. Here below, the entry lists.
