Swindon Robins' Zach Wajtknecht finishes as runner-up at British Under-21 semi final
Zach Wajtknecht of the Swindon Robins pulled off a stunning performance to finish runner-up at the British Under-21 Semi-Final on Tuesday.
The 19-year-old joint top scored with 12-points, but narrowly missed out on top spot on count back to Poole's James Shanes.
Wajtknecht is now through to the British Under-21 Final at Wimborne Road on Wednesday, April 26 and says qualification is just what he needed at the start of a hectic week for the Bristol based racer.
"This week is just manic - but that's the best way to be!" Wajtknecht said.
"I've got Lakeside press day Thursday morning, Swindon v Rye House Thursday night, two meetings for Lakeside on Friday and then Swindon v Poole on Sunday before another National League meeting on Monday.
"So to go into a schedule like that with a result like 2nd place in the Under-21s is brilliant.
"It was good to win some races again and it has boosted my confidence.
"I was disappointed with my performance at Rye House for Swindon on Saturday, but I was pretty pleased with how things had gone before that against Belle Vue and Leicester.
"I hope I can build on that start now and I'm looking forward to the rest of the season now!"
A full meeting preview ahead of Thursday's home Knockout Cup second leg against Rye House at The Abbey Stadium will be issued later on Wednesday.
