Crump heading to Poland hopeful of bringing
home another World Crown With a third World Championship in his sights, Australian Jason Crump heads to Bydgoszcz in Poland next Saturday night in the hope of bringing another world crown home with him. Crump, crowned World Champion in 2004 and 2006, knows the task ahead of him will not be easy as the hard-charging 34-year old has had an uphill battle to regain full fitness after a serious injury to his upper left arm some four weeks ago. Crump underwent a 4-hour operation and skin grafts to repair the arm and with daily treatment, he has seen a big improvement in his recovery and feels he is ready to get back on the track again. “This injury has really thrown the cat amongst the pigeons.” said Crump, who holds a 17-point lead over Polish veteran Tomasz Gollob. “I had a good lead for most of the season and was hoping to wrap the championship up by the second last round, but this injury has changed everything.” “The World Championship will be decided this weekend and I will be doing all I possibly can to win the title. I will be doing some practice on Tuesday and Wednesday to see how it all goes and then focusing and preparing myself for Saturday night. My bikes are ready, the team is ready and this will be my last stand. Whatever the outcome, I know I will have given it my best shot.” Current GP Points after 10 Rounds: Jason Crump (Australia) 150, Tomasz Gollob (Poland) 133, Emil Sayfutdinov (Russia) 131, Greg Hancock (USA) 113, Andreas Jonsson (Sweden) 104, Nicki Pedersen (Denmark) 92, Kenneth Bjerre (Denmark) 90, Hans Andersen (Denmark) 88, Fredrik Lindgren (Sweden) 88, Rune Holta (Poland) 85, Leigh Adams (Australia) 66, Grzegorz Walasek (Poland) 63, Chris Harris (Great Britain) 59 |
