BELLE Vue star Jason Crump believes the time is right for him to win the world championship.

The Australian has finished runner-up for the past three seasons and he goes into the Scandinavian Grand Prix this weekend leading the championship. He said: “Time is marching on, and I think I’ve had my fill of finishing second in the world championship – the time has come to win the thing.”

SAM Ermolenko admits he is enjoying his racing during his farewell season. The 1993 world champion scored 10-points for Wolverhampton in their bumper win over Arena Essex. He said: “I feel like I might ride for another 20 years! I’m allowed to have hiccups because that’s where I belong, but when it’s all working for me I can still steer the bike across the finish line first.”
