Forty Year-Old World Champion

Greg Hancock finalised his Wrold Champion status on Saturday in the 2011 Speedway GP series' penultimate meeting of the season. The tenth meeting was held in Gorican, Croatia and was won by Andreas Jonsson. If the Swede had started the season as well as he's finishing it, Hancock would have had a bigger challenge on his hands. Britain's Chris Harris finally had a decent meeting, making it to the final and scoring a point more than Jonsson. Lindgren also made it to the final despite only winning one of his heats but Hancock secured another final to guarantee his World Championship.

With just one meeting remaining, Hancock can relax while he currently stands on 154 points. Jonsson has now made it to second on 118 with Hampel just a point behind, making it an interesting final battle for second. Crump sits fourth on 104 while Gollob has now been caught up by Sayfutdinov as they both have 98 points. Bjerre is just a point behind and Harris has now made it into the top eight, which would secure him a place in next season's GP series, on 95 points.
