Good Luck Robert!
(Posted 18/07/08)

Robert Ksiezak has been drawn at no 16 for tomorrow evening's tough World Under 21 meeting at Gorican in Croatia.

It is a very strong field in the semi final. Emil Saifutdinov, who rode so well for Russia in the World Cup last weekend is amongst one of the pre-meeting favourites but will face stiff competition from the likes of Jurica Pavlic, riding on a track he knows inside out, Filip Sitera, Patrick Hougaard and Nicolai Klindt and Robert will be keen to try and join his fellow countrymen Troy Batchelor and Chris Holder who have already qualified for the final.

The riders will have a practice session at mid day on Saturday with the meeting itself starting at 8.30pm Croatian time which is 7.30pm in the UK. The top 8 riders will qualify for the final in Pardubice on October 5th and although it is a tough meeting Robert should have a chance of going through.

Good luck Robert!
