1 Pedersen, Nicki (12) Gate 2 6
2 Adams, Leigh (8) Gate 3 4
3 Ulamek, Sebastian (9) Gate 1 2
4 Holta, Rune (13) Gate 4  
SUMMARY: Pedersen gets a dream start and leads throughout to win but he is pushed all the way by Adams in his final Grand Prix. The Australian starts in third but gets up the inside of Ulamek on the second lap and draws level with Pedersen but the Dane pulls back in front and goes on to win. Ulamek finishes third and Holta a disappointing last.

2 Pedersen, Nicki (12) Gate 1 2
3 Crump, Jason (1) Gate 3 1
4 Gollob, Tomsz (4) Gate 2  
SUMMARY: The ref pulls the start back but all four riders can re-start the race. In the re-run, Holta gets a flier but Pedersen goes wide on the first bend and takes Gollob out, forcing him into the air fence. The semi-final is stopped but Pedersen is allowed to re-start the race. In the second re-run, the race is stopped on the third lap after Gollob leaves his bike on the track when Pedersen goes up the inside of the Pole on the second lap. The bikes touch and the Pole complains about the move and stops racing but it looks okay and Gollob is rightly excluded from the race for leaving his bike on the track. In the third re-run, Holta gets a fantastic start and leads throughout to claim the win. Pedersen is second throughout and also makes the final, with world champion Crump way back in last.

SUMMARY: Crump gets a flier to lead from start to finish to claim the win and the world championship!! Well done Jason! He raised his arm in celebration as he crossed the line and the out-going champion Pedersen was the first to congratulate him, as did Sayfutdinov before he got the bumps from his crew! He then got a hug from his wife Mel and his children. In the race itself, Pedersen took second and Sayfutdinov third.

4 Harris, Chris (3) Gate 3  
SUMMARY: Ulamek leads from start to finish to win, but all eyes were on Sayfutdinov. The young Russian was second but then ran wide on the first lap allowing Harris and Adams up the inside.

SUMMARY: Wildcard Miedzinski got up the inside on the first bend to lead from start to finish. AJ was second throughout but went wide on the second lap, almost allowing Crump in. But he holds Crump off, meaning the Australian now needs three points to claim the world crown. Walasek is way back in last. Fancy a bet?

3 Hancock, Greg (5) Gate 3 1
4 Holta, Rune (13) Gate 1  
SUMMARY: It is a victory for Gate 4 again as Ulamek leads from start to finish to claim the win. But Crump is the real winner here as he gets up on the inside of Holta at the end of the first lap to claim second. Hancock then gets past Holta to earn a point. Crump now needs just four points to claim the world crown. Fancy a bet? Sky Bet have Gollob as evens to win the GP, with Pedersen and Sayfutdinov both next on 4-1. You would think Gollob will do it but anything can happen in the final.

Heat 1 - Result - Race Time: 18:21

Speedway results
Placing Racer Gate Points
1 Gollob, Tomsz (4) Gate 4 3
2 Crump, Jason (1) Gate 1 2
3 Andersen, Hans (2) Gate 2 1
4 Harris, Chris (3) Gate 3  
SUMMARY: Gollob got a perfect start around the outside and pulled away to win. Harris started in second but went wide on the last bend of the first lap to allow Crump up the inside to claim second and a vital two points. Andersen then got past Harris to earn a point. It means Gollob has cut Crump's lead to 16 points but Crump will be pleased with his two points - he is a quarter of the way to the eight he needs. Welcome to the Polish Grand Prix where Jason Crump needs eight points to be sure of the world crown. Can the Australian do it or will Gollob pip him at the post? Send your views to steve.pass2@bskyb.com and I will post up the best comments throughout the evening.
