 I'm Gleb Tugunov and you're watching Talking Dirt. So who is Gleb Tugunov? I'm a speedway rider, that's all. This guy, my father, buys some bikes for me when I was nine-year-old. We don't have a speedway rider or a sportsman in the family, so I'm the first. What do you do when you're not racing speedway? I don't think about speedway, no. In the season time when I don't have a meeting, I'm just relaxing, I make some training and I make music like you know. Did I see on social media skydiving or something like this? Yeah, this was difficult for me because it was first time. I think we're going on Monday, coming? Monday? From the helicopter. So I think it's a good idea because it's my girlfriend who want to do this first time too. Maybe I will take my father. Ask him to race. Monday. Ask him to race. No! But I want to go second time, I think I like this feeling. So did you watch the Talking Dirt with Greg Hancock? Yeah. He said that you were a rider to look out for, you're going to be good in the future. Really? Yeah. And you didn't see this? Wow. How much time do you have right now to talk about Gleb, but I've got a lot of time for that guy and spent a lot of time working with him here in the club in Drogswaab and the dude is so unique, he's so special, he's a good guy, he's a different guy, he's a different character, he dresses differently, he acts different and the guy can ride a motorcycle as good if not better than most. So I have a lot of good things to say about Gleb and it's going to be fun to watch him here in the Grand Prix. Do you think he takes this speedway seriously? You know, he takes the speedway much more serious than you would imagine. Some of the things that he says and the way he approaches this board in such a different manner than anybody else. It's pretty extreme, very unique and the best thing I can say is that he's just clever. I don't know Greg privately before this season. Greg is four times world champion and when he's just on the stadium so his atmosphere is better, very cold head and going for the win. You are the only speedway rider that Tye Woefendon follows. That Tye follow me. No, Tye follow Magic I think too. Really? Yeah, really. You didn't know that? No, maybe he liked me. Yeah. Maybe. I have three times world champion in the team, four times world champion trainer and one of the best riders in the world now. So it's a very good time for the learning, for the explore myself and for just going to the front. So Gleb's not at the night that you'd expect? No, absolutely not. Gleb's capable of beating these guys on any given day and you can see it at night but maybe the pressure and the level, the whole thing has got to him a little bit but it's experience for him. There's always tomorrow and this guy's pretty capable of good amazing things. Like I said before, I've got a lot of time for this dude and it'll be fun to see what he does in the future. Winning world titles, the trophy is the most important part. Where do you keep yours? Man, I split my trophies between countries. We have a base in the US and it's home base and then we've got our European base in Sweden so I split the trophies. I've got two in Sweden and I've got one in the US because in 97 they went producing these beauties. The one thing about this world championship trophy though, that beauty that sits out there and is on parade all year long, when you win the world title, you stand up there, they hand you that beautiful trophy that weighs a ton and you get to hold it for all of about, I think we said about five, six minutes in total and then they take it away. And you're like, really? I raise my butt off all year for this and you take it away from me but then they give you the replica a little later and that holds a pretty much a pride possession in my house and in both houses and I often give it a little polish and a little kiss. So are you able to present this trophy to Bartos for us? This is his 2020 replica trophy. I would be more than honored to present that and this thing brings back some great memories and as much as I'd like to rub and kiss it now, I better not. Bartek, he gives me great honor to hand over this beautiful trophy. I appreciate all the hard work that goes into winning something like this and I'm sure that you probably treasure this equally as much as I do if not more and it's a great honor to hand it over to you. You're an amazing writer. Thank you very much. And I'm sure we're going to see you getting more of these. This is my dreams always. A lot of years I've been two times the same trophy and very happy and I keep going and maybe more but we'll see in the future. I'm pretty sure, absolutely. Thank you very much, Bartek. Yeah, make the most of it, buddy and keep going. Thank you. Keep going. Where are you going to keep the trophy? Well, I'm my special room in the house for this trophy and now it's very close together so it looks like great, I think so. Hi, I'm Martin Vasili. You're watching Talking Dirt. It's day two in the Grand Prix Brozlach. Yesterday it was not the best day because I can't make the final. It is what it is, it is a speedway and one time you can make the final and you can win and another day it's a little bit different but I very hope today will be a better day for me and I can make the final and fight for the podium. Who's in your team? Yeah, in my team I have three mechanics with me. Rudy, Deniz and Jacob. Two guys from Slovakia and Jacob is from Czech Republic. They are with me a long time, many years and we have a very good relationship. We understand each other nearly without any words so I think it's very important in the sport, in the team. Can you tell us anything about the new pneumatic spring system that you have in your bike? Yeah, it's something completely new in the speedway world so it's a new technology, we call it like air springs. I'm pretty happy about that right now but with everything new we need to spend more time and more tests and more races on it and I'm sure this is future of our discipline, our sport so the technology is perfect and I'm very happy I can be part of all of this. Is only you and Robert Lambert that have this technology at the moment? Yeah, it's true. On this moment it's me and Robert to use this stuff but I'm sure in the future it will be more and more riders to use this because I think it is very good for the discipline because this system can bring so many different benefits for the riders and for the discipline so technology is what we use, it's important going forward and find all the time something new so I think we did it now. Not we actually did now and like I said before I'm happy I can be part of it and I'm enjoying it. And can you tell us a little bit about how it works? I think this is actually a snow house so I can't say it's secret. So yeah, I've teamed up with Madé Racing in the UK from Swabic Madé, he works for Mercedes F1 so to be able to have this sort of technology in speedway is something really special. Our aim is for the engine to do around 100 races without doing any service in. Compared to how many now? Now it's roughly 25 so the F1 cars are doing around 7,000 km on those springs so if you calculate that into speedway of course it's a different discipline and stuff but I'm pretty sure we will, I'm pretty sure it's a massive step forward for speedway it's something that we're really looking forward to and also there could be an edge performance wise so yeah, it opens a new door. This is what it is, speedway, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose and how we speak before the meeting we try new things to be better for us but sometimes in sport, in life you need to make one step behind and then two steps forward so I hope in the future we can be much faster but how I said it's a pretty long process and that we are in and I believe we can be strong you know, it's motorsport, it sometimes happens sometimes we have so much speed but sometimes not enough so today was a bad day in office but I hope for the future we'll be better Well we're in Lublin next weekend so we'll see you there, yeah? OK, see you in Lublin guys. Free, done and dusted, how did it go? Gosh and for me it was another intense, insane night of racing and it just shows you how tough it is at the top man those guys are running hard, we ran hard in my days too and those two they really put it on the limit there and what Bartosch did in the final just shows you that you have four laps in a heat and use those four laps to build your momentum find the lines, see the mistakes they're making yeah, a deserved victory for that guy so it just shows you he's determined to win I won't be in Lublin on this one sadly but I'll be back against him Gashinsky come up to me and said hey Jerry from Dirty Talking wants to do an interview After hours, just behind the scenes How much is magic left here? You know, you only gotta listen the chance in between right before he pulls up to the starting line Channing magic, magic, we're maché like, you know, makes the hair stand up in my back and I got hair on my back
