 The Monster Energy FIM Speedway of Nations final came to Toyati in Russia for day one of a two-day event. The reigning champions on home territory looking to take an advantage after day one. Twenty-one races but it was full of drama and tense action with crashes galore as well. Early on Poland looking good, looking very smooth Bartosz Marszlik. Britain hit early on with this incident between Craig Cook and Robert Lambert. Both riders hurt. Lambert rode on with pain in his neck and Craig Cook rode on with a wrist problem. But the action was fast and furious as the sun sets and the Russian boys making home advantage count. Emils Seifutinov absolutely magnificent throughout the course of the evening really rode superbly. Australia though with Jason Doyle in great form he was leading their challenge brilliantly. Niels Christian Everson came off in a real awkward looking tumble and that allowed Denmark to use Frederick Jacobson for a couple of rides and he scored well. Doyle continued his fine form. Leon Manson came to the party for Denmark with a good score to keep them in contention just outside of the top three after day one. Poland they needed a good finish to get themselves into the top three on twenty-one points. But Seifutinov was the hero for Russia. He saluted the crowd who were absolutely delighted by the man who won the previous Grand Prix before the World Pairs break. Seifutinov inspired Australia 23, Russia 22, Poland 21. They are the top three. But Drabel Aitonevsky was hit by Helman the under twenty-one swede. He is a doubt for Sunday and the deciding round of the Monster Energy FIM Speedway of Nations. It all comes down to a grand final on Sunday. 60 seconds, four laps to decide the world champions.
