Nicki Pedersen: With flying colors for a double victory at the Pentecost Cup in Güstrow!

in Güstrow, where the Speedway tradition has been firmly anchored since 1963, the exciting races for the Pentecost Cup were held last weekend. It is a classic in the racing cycle that already attracted many enthusiastic spectators to the Speedway Stadium in its 48th edition. The first Pentecost Cup took place in 1976, and no other race in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has lasted as long as this event. The MC Güstrow has added numerous world champions to its ranks over the years, including the legends Simon Wigg and Nicki Pedersen.

The Dane Nicki Pedersen made the headlines in 2023. In the last races that took place on June 10, 2025, the three-time single world champion grabbed both the Pentecost Cup and the Fritz-Suhr beer Cup. In a gripping competition, he left little doubt as to why he was the favorite. Pedersen only released one point throughout the race, while Norick Guardorn from Germany gained a round before him. The final score of the competition was: 1. Nicki Pedersen, 2nd Norick Gummorn, 3. Jakub Jamrog from Poland. The renewed floodlight system in the stadium was ceremoniously inaugurated during this event, which also enhanced the spectacle. A total of 7,400 spectators who celebrated the impressive performance of the drivers.

The Pentecost Cup has been held since 1976 and has developed into a fixture in the international Speedway over the years. Simon Wigg, an English driver, won the famous race five times and can look back on four world championship titles in long train sports. His first participation in Güstrow can be dated in 1994.

2007 won Joonas Kylmäkorpi, which paved his entry into the World Cup on the Sandbahn. The exciting duels of the past and presence are impressive, and Jason Doyle, who was the first world champion in the Pentecost Cup in 2018, was also impressed by the backdrop in Güstrow. He is planning to take part in two Grand Prix races in Manchester, which underlines the international flair of this event.
