Defending Speedway World Champion, Australia‰Ûªs Jason Crump took another step in his fightback from a form slump this week, playing a lead role in his Swedish league team‰Ûªs solid win ahead of the Torun Grand Prix.
The 35-year-old Great Britain-based rider has weathered a difficult start to his 2010 campaign, and is hoping that recent results, including his team‰Ûªs demolition of Lejonen on Tuesday, are an indication of improvement.
Elit Vetlanda broke Lejonen‰Ûªs home track stranglehold, becoming the first team to beat them at their Gislaved base since 2004.
In addition, Crump was the top scorer in his Polish league match for Wroclaw earlier this month.
The three-time world champion, who won the opening Grand Prix of Europe, slid down the standings after a pair of uncharacteristic showings at the Swedish and Czech GP events.
Crump is confident of continued improvement at this weekend‰Ûªs fifth world championship meeting of the year, the FIM Speedway Grand Prix of Torun at Motoarena Torun in Poland.
‰ÛÏThe league races have helped me to work on a few areas, the more time on the bike I get the more confident I become,‰Û
