SPEEDWAY NEWS AND FIXTURES
14 August 2005 - British Speedway Promoters Association

BELLE VUE star Jason Crump romped to victory in the Scandinavian Grand Prix - keeping Tony Rickardsson''s celebrations on ice.

Rickardsson needed to finish ahead of reigning champion Crump to be certain of the title but only finished third and must now wait until the next round in Bydgoszcz. Andreas Jonsson was second with Leigh Adams fourth in an entertaining meeting. Great Britain''s Scott Nicholls was sixth and Lee Richardson 15th.

JASON Crump believes his Scandinavian Grand Prix victory in Sweden has given him a boost for next season. Crump will surrender his world crown to Tony Rickardsson in the next two rounds - but the Belle Vue man is now casting an eye towards 2006. He said: ''This result has given me great heart for next year. Even Tony knows how hard it is defending a title.''
