“The bid has been submitted, I’m thinking about the Czech Republic on the highway, then how the cards will fall” – Gonov on the opportunity to speak at the World Cup

European track cycling champion Lev Gonov told that he was not yet considering whether to participate in the world championships, as he was focused on preparing for the Russian road championship, but he asked for neutral status.

Gonov on Thursday as part of the team race won the St. Petersburg Grand Prix.

– You haven’t started on the track in the season for a long time, or so?

– The last start was in January, so the St. Petersburg Grand Prix is ​​the second of the season.

“But driving on the highway in Europe?”

– Yes. In Italy, in Spain. In Italy we sat for a long time, there were ten starts, it was quite eventful according to the program, I won a few prizes. There were tough races, and I can even say that I took a step forward in performance on the highway. Therefore, the track has not been rebuilt very much yet.

– Are you going to “cut” on the highway? You don’t have the title of Russian champion in this form.

“I really want to win it. Looking at the map, it’s 150 km from Moscow.

— The terrain is exactly flat.

– The plain. But I hope to gain endurance in the long term.

– Alexander Anatolyevich Kuznetsov said that all members of his team have requested neutral status. Keep in mind the theoretical possibility of participating in the World Championships in individual races?

– While I think about the Russian championship on the highway, then how the cards will fall. The application has been submitted,” Gonov told .
