SEC Speedway European Championship: the weekend in Hungary

SEC Speedway European Championship: the weekend in Hungary

Fans in Nagyhalasz, Hungary, find their brick surface as a great one, because it brings many passes on the distance and the first race of the evening only confirmed this thesis. Fantastic fight was presented by Logachov and Bellego. Ultimately, after an attack on the last lap, it was Logachov enjoying first win of the night.
The Russian Grigorii Laguta came back to speedway after a two-year break and showed to be the one riders have to be afraid of. “Grisha” was unstoppable and finished the meeting with maximum points. His advance hadn’t been under danger even for a second.
In Hungary, there was no time to be bored at all. Nearly every heat brought tons of emotions, but on the other hand, we had many crashes. The worst one came in heat no.15, when Peter Kildemand and Robert Kovacs fell on the track. Unfortunately, Dane lef the stadium in ambulance. Early statements came with a report of a broken nose.
At the end of the day, behind Grigorij Laguta’s back, we had Michael Jepsen Jensen, whose 13 points were also the ones to be impressed with. Dane also joined the SEC 2019 line up.
In the meetings like SEC Challenge, there are always some out-of-focus riders, silent heroes. That could be a description of David Bellego, who felt like a duck to water. 12 points and effective racing made him go through to the last chance heat, where four riders were fighting for three spots giving a promotion. Next to French rider, we had Kacper Woryna, Vaclav Milik and Anders Thomsen.
Bellego and Milik going through to the final heat, where Czech fell as well, after Jepsen Jensen’s attack. Laguta won the final heat, Bellego was second and Milik got himself on the lowest step of the podium.
