The European U21 Team Speedway Championship was scheduled last weekend at Krosno, in Poland. Heavy rain, as the toughest challenge of speedway races, stopped Polish youngsters on their way to the podium since they’ve won four out of five heats. Maybe a lot would have changed in next 15 heats, but Referee and the Jury stopped the meeting after Heat 5, which wasn’t enough heats to verify results; at least 10 heats should be done to decide the U21 European Team Champion. After many glances to the sky and a bit of hope that the rain will stop, the track was already soaked from the rain and it was not possible to continue.
The group of 19 riders from 4 Countries was informed at 19:10 that they had to leave lovely stadium, notwithstanding the organizer did its best to provide them best conditions.
Due to the bad forecast on the reserve date (Sunday), it was decided not to keep everyone in Krosno for another day. The event has been postponed to September 16. The new SR will be distributed shortly, but practice should start at 10 am and the first heat at 3 pm.
