European U21 Team Speedway Championship at Gniezno (Poland)

The meeting was run in front of around 500 spectators on a dry, hard track following dry, windy but sunny weather conditions. Thanks to the hard work of the club staff the dust was very well controlled throughout the meeting.


The meeting was held with no major incidents or accidents. Only some minor crashes happened but without any serious injuries.
During the first session of heats it was already clear that only the Russian team had a chance to challenge the Polish team for the win. But in the following sessions of heats Russia dropped to Poland point after point. In the end the Polish team claimed an undisputed victory with an almost perfect afternoon, collecting 54 points out of 60 during the 20 heats. The second place went to the Russian team scoring 41 points. Finland and Ukraine were only battling for 3rd and 4th place the whole meeting long with the Ukraine having the better finish with 13 points and Finland with 12 points decided in the last heat.
Only the winner qualified for the final scheduled on September 1st at Daugavpils, Latvia, where the team will join the winner of Semifinal 2 at Mâcon, France, and the second and third placed teams of last year’s championship Denmark and Latvia.
