Swedish 18 year old, Phillip Hellström-Bängs (pictured) will be racing against riders gathered primarily from Scandinavia and Eastern Europe when he travels to Daugavpils for 12 June.
The prize is a place in the 2021 U21 World Championship series that starts in September.
This favourite for this qualifier will probably be Wiktor Lampart, junior with Lublin who was the U21 European Champions in 2019. He was unable to attend last year’s final due to an injury in the last match of the season in the Ekstraliga for Lublin.
However, Marko Levyshyn (UKR) and Petr Chalpac (CZE) did appear in Pardubice last year and will be hoping to return to the competition in 2021.
One rider to look out for will be Latvia’s own Francis Gusts who has been racing on this very track with Lokamotiv in the Polish league. Denmark’s Tim Sörensen also cannot be discounted with his experience gained from racing with Daugavpils’ rivals in eWinner 2, Rzeszow.
