The folk race continues to delight the participation of ladies in the competition, ten representatives of the fair sex will compete in Brenguli, who are able to create competition for even the fiercest men in this discipline. Two ladies, Dace Rozenstam and Diana Miskin, will experience their debut. After three stages of the competition, Marta Stark, Alise Līga Grāmatiņa and Anete Ķēniņa are still the leaders.
“I think that the Brenguli stage will be decisive for dividing the positions of the leaders of the folk cruise. The season is moving to the other side, currently the leader positions are very dense, so we think that the current top riders could “shoot” and become more convincing leaders or in the second scenario – someone else will join the fight for the season titles, “starts Viesturs Saukāns, Folkreis discipline leader .
“Initially, the forecasts for the number of participants in Brenguli were not positive. After this stage there is a Bauska race and if the overall situation is not decided, then some strategic reasons do not participate in this stage, so that their cars are not bought before the race in Mūsa. This raised concerns that there could be a drop in the number of participants, but it has not materialized, as there will be 46 participants of the folk race on Saturday, a stable line-up. This persistence is also influenced by the large increase in debtors, as well as a real change of generations in folklore, ”Viesturs continues.
“The ladies ‘class absolutely exceeds expectations, there are already ten ladies on the start on Saturday, a total of 12 will have started in the first Ladies’ Cup season so far, which is gratifying. A stable flow of participants in the Junior Cup, around seven or eight aged 14 to 18, is also where the new generation of motorsport is growing. These two assessments are important, young people are seriously preparing for each stage. The spectators and the athletes themselves are interested in the separate finals introduced this year for both ladies and junior classes, because previously points for these tests were calculated according to the results of the overall evaluation, ”concludes Viesturs Saukāns.
