Mikkel Michelsen says he ‘wants to be world champion’ ahead of FIM Speedway GP of Poland

Mikkel Michelsen has said that he “wants to be world champion” ahead of the FIM Speedway Grand Prix of Poland on Saturday. The Danish racer reached his first Speedway GP final in Croatia last month, finishing third behind winner Bartosz Zmarzlik and runner-up Maciej Janowski. His impressive showing in Gorican comes on the back of a strong start to the season with Polish club Lublin and Danish outfit Slangerup, all of which has seen him tipped as an outsider for the Speedway GP world title.

Ad/> While Zmarzlik and Janowski remain the hot favourites, Michelsen is not one to shy away from a challenge. With the Speedway GP of Poland set to take place in Warsaw next weekend, the 27-year-old was asked about his ambitions for the rest of the season. /> Speedway GP‘Look at him go through the traffic!’ – Bartosz Zmarzlik stars at Croatian GP03/05/2022 AT 07:39 “If you don’t have confidence in yourself and you don’t believe you can do it, there’s no point in being here,” he said.

“Obviously the realistic goal for this season is the top six. Everyone wants to finish in the top six. But we want to be world champion as well.

That’s why we are here. Everyone wants to win and that’s my mindset as well. “I come into every round to win the round and I go out on the track to win every race.

I am going to do everything I can and we will see where we end up at the end of the series. “I am going to put in the work that’s necessary and my boys are going to do that too. As long as we can continue doing that, they give 100 per cent in the pits and I give 100 per cent on the track, we stand where we do and we will see where it takes us.
