Poland — the main favorite of the tournament<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The main candidate for the leadership role will be Franciszek Szczyrba.

In the Slovak town of \u017darnovica, Szczyrba became the individual European champion, scoring the maximum 15 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have a very strong team, but in competitions, individual achievements are not enough. Here, cooperation, smart tactics, and every point scored are important. We want to defend the title and showcase the potential of Polish youth speedway,\u201d says the coach of the Polish national team Robert Ko\u015bciecha<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where future stars transition to the 500 cc class<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Klasa 250 cc jest jednym z najwa\u017cniejszych etap\u00f3w w przygotowaniach m\u0142odych \u017cu\u017clowc\u00f3w przed przej\u015bciem na mocniejsze motocykle z silnikami 500 cc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
