JASON Crump became World Champion for the second time in his career at Saturday''s Czech Grand Prix in Prague.

Crump''s triumph was officially confirmed when his closest rival Greg Hancock suffered mechanical failure at the start of Heat 15, meaning the American could not reach the semi-finals.

Crump said: ''It''s an unbelievable feeling. I''ve had great bikes, great engines and everyone has done an exceptional job.''

Andersen has reached the Final in all four events he has contested this season, and he took the Prague honours ahead of Matej Zagar, Antonio Lindback and Jarek Hampel.
