GRAND PRIX DENMARK >>JUNE 16, 2008

JASON THIRD IN DENMARK

Australia’s Jason Crump completed a successful night of racing in Copenhagen securing a third place podium position after a hard and nail biting final.

Crump, arguably the gutsiest speedway rider in the world, clearly showed a return to his best form by sweeping through the heats with four wins and backing it up with a win in his semi final.

But the double world champion was pushed wide on the first turn of the final allowing Polish star Tomasz Gollob to slip up the inside of all the riders and hold the lead to the finish line taking his second Grand Prix of the year.

“First place would have been better, but I am pleased with my performance tonight”, said Crump, a 16 time GP winner. “I rode better tonight than I have for a long time and I had a good time doing it. I made a very small and simple change to my machinery and it made an amazing difference.”
