European champion Mikkel Michelsen is beginning his road to recovery after undergoing successful surgery on his shattered humerus and shoulder joint.Michelsen suffered the injuries when he crashed in his opening ride at the OlyBet FIM Speedway GP of Latvia – Riga on September 7.The Dane went under the knife last Thursday and will miss the remainder of the 2024 season, including the final Speedway European Championship round in Chorzow on Saturday and the Speedway GP finale in Torun on September 28.Michelsen is now taking some time to heal before beginning his rehabilitation and he took to his Facebook page to give fans an update. He posted: “Hey Everyone, it has been a rough couple of days since the surgery on Thursday morning. I was discharged from hospital on Friday evening and have been trying to relax and recover since then.“The surgery went according to plan and the surgeon was happy with the results. I underwent a four-hour long procedure where he fixed my shattered humerus and shoulder joint. Now it needs time to heal before hopefully soon starting some rehab.&nbsp;“The fractured elbow should heal on its own and, after scans on my foot, we found out that my heel is fractured as well. The road to recovery is long but there’s light at the end of the tunnel!&nbsp;“Once again, thank you so much for all your get well wishes, messages and calls. It means a lot. Kind regards, MM.”Michelsen still has a chance of securing qualification for the 2025 Speedway GP series, as he holds the sixth and final automatic spot on 101 points currently.Australia’s Jack Holder is four points behind on 97 after scoring two at the Deluxe Homeart FIM Speedway GP of Denmark – Vojens last Saturday.&nbsp;He needs at least five points to overhaul Michelsen for sixth spot. Should Holder score four, he would be ranked lower than the Dane on countback as Michelsen has achieved two fifth places to Holder’s one – both have a win, a third and a fourth place.Polish international Dominik Kubera will also have the last top-six spot in his sights. He is eighth on 88 and will need to at least reach the final in Torun to have any chance of finishing above both Holder and Michelsen.We wish Mikkel all the best with his recovery.

MICHELSEN ON ROAD TO RECOVERY

Poland’s five-time Speedway GP world champion Bartosz Zmarzlik cemented his spot among FIM Speedway’s greats – and immediately braced himself for questions about chasing title No.6.Zmarzlik finished <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/results/2024-deluxe-homeart-fim-speedway-gp-of-denmark-vojens">second in the Deluxe Homeart FIM Speedway GP of Denmark – Vojens</a> on Saturday, with Great Britain racer Robert Lambert powering to his first-ever SGP victory at Denmark’s national speedway stadium.With a 22-point lead over Lambert in the <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/sgp/standings">Speedway GP standings</a>, Zmarzlik heads to the <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/rounds/2024-dewalt-fim-speedway-gp-of-poland-torun">final round at Polish track Torun on September 28</a> to collect an historic fifth World Championship gold medal and his third in as many years.The 29-year-old became only the second rider in speedway history to win three FIM Speedway World Championships on the bounce, matching New Zealand legend Ivan Mauger’s World Final hat-trick, achieved between 1968 and 1970.Zmarzlik is now tied on five world titles with Swedish icon Ove Fundin and stands <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/history-of-speedway/roll-of-honour">just one short of the record haul of six, shared by Mauger and Swedish legend Tony Rickardsson</a>.The Pole now has plenty of time to celebrate title No.5. But asked about the prospect of taking his place in FIM Speedway’s most elite club alongside Mauger and Rickardsson, Zmarzlik admits speculation about his next historic achievement is nothing new to him.&nbsp;“I knew this question will be coming up again!” he smiled. “I had it after my second one, third one and fourth one. I will 100 percent get it again after winning five. For me, this is nothing new. I understand how life is.“But I am not thinking, ‘I must do it,’ only ‘I can do it.’ I love racing on the bike and what I do in the future, nobody knows. Of course I want the title again, but we will see.“I am still young. I am 29 years old, and I always want the title next year. But of course, a lot of other riders want to win this.“Today was one example – big congratulations to Robert [Lambert]. It was his first time winning a Speedway GP round. I know the feeling and I say to him that the first time is always the best feeling.”&nbsp;<iframe width="100%" height="400" src="https://youtube.com/embed/OBO1mdpaBnc" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>Zmarzlik’s triumph comes just 12 months after he was disqualified from the 2023 Deluxe Homeart FIM Speedway GP of Denmark – Vojens for wearing a race suit that did not comply with the rules during Qualifying Practice. The Pole is understandably much happier to be hitting the road with a fifth world title to celebrate this time around.He added: “This is an unbelievable night after what happened last season in this place. I couldn’t compete.&nbsp;“But now I have taken this championship before the last round and that’s very good for me because now I have a bit of an easier life until March.“I am very happy because I am the first rider to win three world titles in a row in the history of the Speedway GP series. I love to do something different in the sport. For the moment, I don’t know what more to say. I am feeling a lot of emotions.”&nbsp;<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/427312/conversions/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-14-at-21.41.49-(1)-large.jpeg"/>Denmark’s biggest motorsport event was raced in front of a sizeable 15,378-strong crowd, which is the club’s highest attendance since Jacob Olsen took over leadership of the storied Vojens Speedway Center from his three-time FIM Speedway world champion father Ole. The venue celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2025.All eyes were on Zmarzlik as he lined up alongside Lambert, needing at least first or second place in the final. The Brit produced a sublime start to get the better of his rival going into bend one. While Zmarzlik was left with work to do, he got the better of third-placed Maciej Janowski and fourth-placed Andzejs Lebedevs, who also made history as Latvia’s first-ever Speedway GP finalist.But it was Zmarzlik who had the most to celebrate as he delivered another moment of glory. He said: “My brother Pawel said it didn’t matter what place I got today, but he also told me that if I finished one position behind Robert, this would be the most important plan for the final.“I made a little bit of a mistake from the start, but I felt good over the four laps, and I was okay. I took the second position, and I felt the title was coming to me.”&nbsp;<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/427311/conversions/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-14-at-20.11.45-large.jpeg"/>Deluxe Homeart FIM Danish Speedway GP winner Lambert is now guaranteed at least a Speedway GP World Championship bronze medal – his first-ever podium finish in the series.He goes into the season-closing DeWalt FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Torun on September 28 placed second in the overall standings on 137 points – putting him 10 clear of third-placed Swedish star Fredrik Lindgren on 127, who scored three championship points in Vojens.A top-six finish in Torun would guarantee Lambert the silver medal and he admits there were tears of joy as he sealed his first-ever SGP victory on his 10th final appearance.&nbsp;He said: “It hasn’t really sunk in as yet, but it’s an incredible feeling. After the finish line, there were a few tears under my goggles. It has been a long time coming.“I have put in a lot of hard work and there has been a lot of disappointment at coming so close so often before and not getting it. It comes as a relief to finally get it done and stop the talk going around about it. It was a hot topic about me not winning one. Now it’s finally done. I am so happy at the moment and this trophy is going nowhere. It’s going to be sticking with me for a long time.“I battled all night, but I progressed and went in the right direction with the bike. We got it perfect for the final, and that’s what we have been missing a few times. In previous GPs, we had the bike setup for most of the night, made a few changes, went a few steps back and then not enough steps forward to make it happen in the final.“I am really happy with the way we all worked as a team. I am super happy. I am sure I will be lying in the bed in the van, not getting much sleep after all of this excitement.”&nbsp;<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/427310/conversions/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-14-at-20.03.05-large.jpeg"/>Polish star Janowski continued his strong finish to 2024 by celebrating his first Speedway GP final since 2022 after never previously making even the semi-finals in Vojens.He said: “The end of the season has been pretty good for me. I am very happy about that. It’s very good to be back on the podium in Speedway GP. That’s always a great feeling. But when you get to the final, you always want to win.“I am very happy because Vojens never used to be a good place for me. I am happy that I have finally scored good points here. I am feeling great. It was a good night.”&nbsp;<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/427316/conversions/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-14-at-19.53.07-large.jpeg"/>Fourth-placed Lebedevs could seal his spot in the 2025 Speedway GP series next Saturday, when he <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/news/sec-lebedevs-claims-six-point-lead-in-euro-title-race">defends a six-point lead at the final Speedway European Championship round in Chorzow, Poland</a>.The continental champion is guaranteed a spot in the following season’s SGP series. And, having broken new ground in his debut year on the sport’s biggest stage, Latvia’s trailblazing first-ever Speedway GP finalist is determined to extend his stay at this level.He said: “I had some goals. The first step was to make a lot of semis, and that has come. The next goal was to make my first final before the end of the season.“I couldn’t do it at my home round in Riga last weekend, but it’s like Robert [Lambert]. He has been in Speedway GP for a long time, and you can see the finals and podiums he has achieved in his career have been very hard coming.&nbsp;“I am living my dream, and I am very happy that I am here. I am looking forward and hopefully I can keep my place in Speedway GP for next season and have good results from the beginning in 2025.”&nbsp;<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/427307/conversions/9x16-18-riders-(2)-large.jpg"/><img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/427306/conversions/9x16Results-large.jpg"/>

POLISH HERO ZMARZLIK READY FOR QUESTION NO.6 AFTER WINNING FIFTH SPEEDWAY GP WORLD TITLE IN VOJENS

Polish hero Bartosz Zmarzlik cemented his status as one of the sport’s all-time greats after sealing his fifth FIM Speedway Grand Prix World Championship at the Deluxe Homeart FIM Speedway GP of Denmark – Vojens on Saturday.Zmarzlik secured a record-equalling third gold medal in as many years by taking second place on a night Great Britain hero Robert Lambert claimed his first-ever Speedway GP win, with Poland’s Maciej Janowski third and Latvia’s Andzejs Lebedevs fourth in his first-ever SGP final.Zmarzlik becomes only the third rider in history to win three FIM Speedway world titles in a row – matching New Zealand legend Ivan Mauger’s hat-trick of World Final wins between 1968 and 1970.He is now just one Speedway GP World Championship away from equalling Mauger and Swedish icon Tony Rickardsson’s all-time record haul of six world titles.Lambert leapfrogged Swedish star Fredrik Lindgren for second place in the Speedway GP World Championship standings. This sets up a tense silver-medal showdown at the series-closing <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/rounds/2024-dewalt-fim-speedway-gp-of-poland-torun">DeWalt FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Torun</a> on Saturday, September 28, with Lambert on 137 points and Lindgren on 127.Full report and reaction from Vojens to follow later.<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/425297/conversions/WhatsApp-Image-2024-09-13-at-18.24.08-large.jpeg"/>

FAMOUS FIVE FOR POLISH ICON ZMARZLIK

Great Britain racer Dan Bewley is determined to seal 2025 FIM Speedway Grand Prix qualification with a top-six finish – so that he can get back on his motocross bike.The Cumbrian racer goes into tonight’s Deluxe Homeart FIM Speedway GP of Denmark – Vojens placed sixth in the Speedway GP World Championship after finishing third in Riga last Saturday.While Bewley was unable to extend his astonishing 100-percent record in Speedway GP finals to five, he is now on 100 championship points – 22 clear of Dominik Kubera in eighth, giving him a great chance of sealing a top-six finish, with Denmark’s Mikkel Michelsen on 101 in fifth place ruled out for the rest of the season due to injury.If Bewley fell short of the top six, he has a place at the FIM SGP Challenge at Czech track Pardubice on October 4, where the top four riders seal qualification for Speedway GP in 2025.But the two-time FIM Speedway of Nations world champion admits he would rather make alternative plans for that weekend.He said: “I would like to be in the top six, finish my season a week earlier and get riding some motocross again! That’s the plan. I have a couple more rounds and a couple of good results would be nice. To be honest, after the first few rounds, I wasn’t really thinking about the medals or even the top six. I just wanted to get a win again, make some finals and be up there more consistently.”Having won the FIM SON in Manchester on July 13 and the FIM Speedway GP of Great Britain – Cardiff at Principality Stadium on August 17, Bewley has been on fire in the second half of the season.While he would have liked to add a second win in Riga last weekend, Bewley was pleased to make another final – even if he couldn’t extend his run of Speedway GP final wins to five.He said: “All in all, I was happy just to be in the final and back on the podium. Bartek has 25 wins, and Freddie is pretty high up on the total win list too on seven. Obviously, they have won a few, but the reason they are so high up the standings is that even when they are not winning, they are in the final. I just want to be up there more consistently. If the win is there, you take it, but if not, you have to remember I got a lot more points than I would have got, had I missed the final. It’s awesome to be up there and I am happy with it.”

BEWLEY EYES EARLY FINISH WITH SPEEDWAY GP TOP-SIX SPOT

Speedway GP duo Fredrik Lindgren and Jack Holder topped the score chart for PGE Ekstraliga champions Lublin as their big guns fired them into their fourth straight play-off final.Lublin overturned a 12-point first-leg deficit, defeating visitors Torun 59-31 on the night for a 98-82 aggregate success.Their Speedway GP riders all hit the road for the 11-hour drive to the Deluxe Homeart FIM Speedway GP of Denmark – Vojens in good spirits, with Lindgren and Holder leading the way on 11 paid 12.&nbsp;Dominik Kubera also impressed on 10 paid 11, with four-time Speedway GP champion Bartosz Zmarzlik notching nine paid 10 – just 24 hours before he bids to wrap up title No.5 in Vojens.Great Britain racer Robert Lambert led Torun’s scoring with an impressive 15 points, with Emil Sayfutdinov scoring six and Patryk Dudek picking up five paid six points.The other semi-final between Wroclaw and Gorzow at the Olympic Stadium was due to take place on Sunday but has been postponed due to a wet weather forecast. That will now be staged on Friday – just two days before the play-off final, first leg is due to take place on Sunday, September 22.For full details of the result and scorers from Lublin, <a href="https://ekstraliga.pl/en/se">CLICK HERE</a> (link in Polish).

EKSTRALIGA | SPEEDWAY GP QUARTET FIRES LUBLIN INTO FINAL

Wild card Anders Thomsen can’t wait to return to the sport’s biggest stage as he bids to give his home crowd a second straight Danish winner in the Deluxe Homeart FIM Speedway GP of Denmark – Vojens on Saturday.The stakes are high in Denmark’s biggest motorsport event as Poland’s Bartosz Zmarzlik arrives at Vojens with the chance to wrap up an historic fifth Speedway GP World Championship – if he holds a lead of 21 points or more after racing on Saturday.&nbsp;This would see him become only the fourth rider in history to win five or more world titles, and only the second after New Zealand legend Ivan Mauger to win three in a row.Zmarzlik is on 141 points and has a 17-point lead at the top of <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/sgp/standings">the standings</a> over Swedish star Fredrik Lindgren, who has 124, with Great Britain’s Robert Lambert in third place on 117 as he chases what would be his first ever Speedway GP World Championship medal on the Vojens track where he finished second in 2022 and fourth last year.&nbsp;<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/424440/conversions/lindgren-bzmarzlik-bewley9677-large.jpg"/>With 2023 Vojens winner <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/news/jensen-drafted-into-vojens-line-up-as-madsen-withdraws">Leon Madsen</a> and <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/news/michelsen-season-over-after-riga-crash">European champion Mikkel Michelsen</a> both ruled out of their home event due to injury, local hopes will be carried by three-time Danish champion Thomsen and 2022 Danish champion Rasmus Jensen, who has received <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/news/jensen-drafted-into-vojens-line-up-as-madsen-withdraws">a late call-up for the event</a>.Thomsen races for <a href="https://vojensspeedwaycenter.dk/soenderjylland-elite-speedway/">Vojens club Sønderjylland Elite Speedway</a> in the Danish Speedwayligaen and makes only his second SGP appearance at his home club, having missed the past two FIM Danish Speedway GPs due to injury.The former FIM Gorzow Speedway GP winner is determined to give fans a night to remember on the track where he first experienced world-class speedway as a child as he makes his first SGP appearance in over a year.&nbsp;He said: “I am looking forward to getting back into the Grand Prix, especially the Danish GP. It’s always something special to be in the Danish GP in front of the Danish spectators with the Danish flag on your chest.“I know the other 15 riders are going there to try and stand on top of the podium and it’s also the goal for me to get to the top.“I know the track well. I have raced there for the last four years in the league. Of course, things can change a lot with the track for a GP. But I will stay focused, stay calm, do what I normally do and see how far I can get.”&nbsp;<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/424441/conversions/thomsen-rjensen-kostygow8314-large.jpg"/>This is Speedway GP’s 18th visit to one of world speedway’s most storied venues, which celebrates its 50th anniversary of racing in 2025 after being <a href="https://vojensspeedwaycenter.dk/en/historien/">built and developed by three-time FIM Speedway world champion Ole Olsen</a>, with his son Jacob taking charge in 2019.Thomsen is proud to take to one of the sport’s most iconic tracks, where he saw legends of the sport race as a child.He said: “I have been at Vojens since I was a kid, and I remember when my dad used to bring me here for the GPs. It was always something special. I always remember those days.“I remember the old GP flags we had back in the day. You could get a black and white chequered flag with the SGP logo on. You could also get it in red and white. I remember when I was really small, some fans left their flags behind. I jumped over to get them and I still have them at home. I was maybe eight years old back then. It’s something special and there is real history there – with the GP and Ole Olsen. It’s a big thing.”&nbsp;<img src="https://eventrack-1.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/staging/424442/conversions/thomsen-rjensen8576-large.jpg"/>Thomsen missed out on a place in the 2024 Speedway GP series after finishing 15th in the standings on 36 points, having missed the final three rounds due to a hand injury sustained in a crash at the 2023 OlyBet FIM Speedway GP of Latvia – Riga.The disappointment of losing his SGP status hasn’t slowed Thomsen down. <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/news/thomsen-wins-danish-title-no3">As well as winning his third Danish Championship</a>, he is currently sixth in Poland’s PGE Ekstraliga averages on 2.198 points per race.Thomsen could regain his Speedway GP status at the <a href="https://www.fimspeedway.com/news/sgp-qualifiers-kvech-claims-lonigo-win-as-fim-sgp-challenge-line-up-is-confirmed">FIM SGP Challenge at Czech track Pardubice on October 4</a>, when the top four riders earn places in the 2025 series. But in the meantime, Thomsen is making the most of what he hopes will be a short break from Speedway GP.&nbsp;The Odense-born man said: “I feel it has been good for me to have a year out, and hopefully I can come back even stronger. I would say I am taking care of myself this year. I don’t want to get injured, so that I can get back to the top and go flat out.”&nbsp;2024 DELUXE HOMEART FIM SPEEDWAY GP OF DENMARK – VOJENS LINE-UP:95. Bartosz Zmarzlik (Poland)66.

Speedway GP star Jan Kvech ended his wait for a first Czech Republic Individual Speedway Championship after storming to a 15-point maximum in Pilsen on Wednesday.Despite becoming the country’s first full-time Speedway GP star since Lukas Dryml in 2008, Kvech had never claimed his national crown.But he went unbeaten over five rides to triumph in round two ahead of Prague teammate Daniel Klima (14 points) and Jan Macek (13).Kvech finished third at the opening round in Kopřivnice with 12 points and topped the championship podium on 27 ahead of Macek, who finished second on 24, with Prague’s Jaroslav Vanicek placed third on 21.Kvech’s chances were helped by the loss of Prague’s teenage sensation Adam Bednar, who won the opening round in Kopřivnice on 14, but was forced out of the Pilsen round after one second place due to illness.&nbsp;Meanwhile, former champion Vaclav Milik – second in the opening round on 13 – was also sidelined as he recovers from a broken arm.Kvech hopes to build on his national title win with a big performance at the Deluxe Homeart FIM Speedway GP of Denmark – Vojens on Saturday.

KVECH CLAIMS FIRST CZECH TITLE

Great Britain racer Robert Lambert hopes to seal his first FIM Speedway Grand Prix World Championship medal as he heads into the Deluxe Homeart FIM Speedway GP of Denmark – Vojens on Saturday night.The Norfolk ace is third in the Speedway GP standings on 117 points after collecting 11 at the OlyBet FIM Speedway GP of Latvia – Riga last Saturday.With series leader Bartosz Zmarzlik now 24 points clear of Lambert on 141, the Torun and Vastervik star has a mountain to climb in the race for gold with just two rounds remaining.&nbsp;But his 15-point advantage over fourth-placed Martin Vaculik gives Lambert a great chance of winning his first Speedway GP World Championship medal, and the double FIM Speedway of Nations world champion is ready to turn up the heat on Zmarzlik and second-placed Fredrik Lindgren, who is six points ahead in the battle for silver.“Chasing a medal is the plan now,” he said. “We will push to the end and see what we can do. It’s not over until the fat lady sings.”Lambert met Zmarzlik and Lindgren in a stacked semi-final one in Riga, which also featured home hero Andzejs Lebedevs, who won four of his five heats.Despite Lebedevs and Lambert having first choice of gates, it was Lindgren and Zmarzlik who made it through to the final as they capitalised on being left with the inside starting positions.Lambert felt choosing gate three after Lebedevs opted for yellow was the right move. He said: “On the statistics, gate three was coming good. I went with that for the semi-final. I had gate one twice and I didn’t make a start off that, so I didn’t really feel confident in taking that again.“I took the risk of having two strong guys on the inside of me, but deep down, I know I can beat them. I knew I needed to kick Bartek out of the final. That didn’t work and I am the one who was kicked out along with Lebedevs. I was just trying to make sure I stayed in front of Lebedevs, so that I could see what I could do with Bartek. I did all I could, and I am just a bit annoyed.“The format can be cruel, especially when it’s not about collecting championship points throughout the meeting – it’s just where you finish in the overall standings on the night. The big points come from where you finish in the semis and final.”

LAMBERT'S MEDAL QUEST

Latvian racer Andzejs Lebedevs hopes his first Speedway GP final will come in Vojens this Saturday after seeing his OlyBet FIM Speedway GP of Latvia – Riga victory charge cruelly halted last Saturday.Lebedevs electrified Bikernieki as he stormed to four straight race wins to whip his Latvian fans into a frenzy as he topped the heat score chart on 14 points – beaten only by Dan Bewley in his fifth race.But the Daugavpils-born star suffered heartbreak in semi-final one, when he was relegated to the back by Fredrik Lindgren, Bartosz Zmarzlik and Robert Lambert – the current Speedway GP World Championship’s top three.Lebedevs was pleased with what was undoubtedly one of the performances of his career, even if the night didn’t have the dream ending his desired. Now he’s determined to end his wait for an SGP final appearance at the Deluxe Homeart FIM Speedway GP of Denmark – Vojens this Saturday.He said: “Overall, it was a good night in Riga. My main heats were really good and my starts too. But I made a mistake when I chose gate four for the semi.“With the support from the Latvian crowd, I was hoping to make my first Speedway GP final in my career. That was the goal before this event. But in the semi, it didn’t happen.“I pushed hard to be here and be part of the World Championship. First the goal was to make the semis, and I broke this wall. The next wall I need to break is making my first final. Then I think everything will come easier. But I am living my dream and working hard. Maybe at the next round I will make this first final, and the rest will come.”Lebedevs was elated with the support he received from a partisan Riga crowd. He added: “Hopefully my fans, family and friends had a great evening. I want to say thanks to the guys who supported me, and I hope they are not disappointed. &nbsp;“My kids were there, my wife and my mum too, and I felt love from the crowd. After every heat that I won, I just said to myself, ‘My kids are happy, my mum is happy.’ My biggest goal was to make my kids and family happy. Hopefully they will still love me!“There was no pressure on Saturday. I enjoyed the evening fully. I am just disappointed for myself that I didn’t make the final.“For everyone, a home event is something special. This wasn’t my home city, but it was my home country. I had many friends in Riga and people coming from Daugavpils to support me. It was a special feeling to race when most of the crowd was supporting me.”
