SPEEDWAY 1

EASTBOURNE star Nicki Pedersen finished the Grand Prix season as he''d started - with a win in Poland.

Pedersen''s performance also confirmed the 2003 World Champion''s bronze medal behind Reading''s Greg Hancock and champion Jason Crump of Belle Vue in the final standings.

Hancock was second on the night after he recovered from a sluggish first ride to comfortably qualify for the semi-finals. Belle Vue''s Crump finished with seven-points.

SPEEDWAY 2

GREG Hancock has vowed to win a second world title after finishing runner-up to Jason Crump this season.

The Reading skipper last won the crown in 1997 and is keen for a repeat a decade later.

He said: ''Winning the World Championship once was the best thing ever, and my next goal is to win it again, so we''ll keep on going. We now work towards next year.''
