Last year, with just one championship round to go, the Dutchman lay second but ended the series in fourth place. Van den Berg is one of this year’s title favourites and will do everything to secure the event win he came so close to in Hungary.
Top Fuel Bike Preview
The UEM European Drag Bike Championship has already had its first round at Kunmadaras, Hungary. In Top Fuel Bike, Kai Selkamaa won the race after the fastest man of the meeting, René van den Berg, had to shut down at the start with a fuel leak.
2009 champion Ian King has sold his bike to Petri Peljakka and won’t defend his title. The Englishman will return with a new bike next year. Peter Svensson set record numbers last season but it’s not certain that he will attend all European races. Britain’s Steve Carey and Steve Woollatt will be at the Main Event and will do all they can to give the home crowd something to cheer about.
