Bjarne Pedersen celebrated his World Championship return for 2012 by landing the wild card for the FIM Dansk Metal Nordic Speedway Grand Prix at Danish track Vojens on September 10.
The Ryde-born racer, who last served as a full-time SGP star in 2008, finished second in the GP Challenge at Vetlanda to book his spot in next year’s field. But the Holstebro star will get a brief taste of the competition this season when he dons the No.16 race jacket at Vojens.
Pedersen will be joined in Vojens by track reserves Michael Jepsen Jensen and Mikkel Michelsen. Jepsen Jensen, who races for Vojens in the Danish Super League, dons the No.17 race jacket, while Slangerup rider Michelsen will wear No.18.

Looks like the EL experiment has failed. The top 5 don't touch the UK and the ones who came back in a blaze of "Pearson Glory" are well down with the also rans   |

The top 5 don't touch the UK and the ones who came back in a blaze of "Pearson Glory" are well down with the also rans I thought 10/1 was a big price for someone who was 1/4 or worse to win the title, and so it proved as Greg "Herbie" (doesn't Pearson get on your wick :  Hancock did the business. |

American star Greg Hancock laid one hand on the World Championship trophy in Vojens on Saturday night, and pledged to continue putting his rivals to the sword.
The Californian won the FIM Dansk Metal Nordic Speedway Grand Prix to move on to 139 points and extend his advantage at the top of the standings to a mammoth 31.
If he leaves the FIM Nice Croatian SGP in Gorican with a lead of 25 or more, he will lift the World Championship trophy for the second time at the final round in Gorzow on October 8.
Hancock produced some astonishing speed out of the first corners and quickly left runner-up Jason Crump for dead in the final. Swedish star Fredrik Lindgren won a superb scrap with Australian champion Chris Holder for third place.
But the night belonged to the SGP series’ eldest statesman. The 41-year-old celebrated one of the most vital victories of his career on the circuit where he was first crowned world champion in 1997.
And even though second-placed Hampel has a mountain to climb on 108 points, Hancock refuses to let up as he gets nearer and nearer to ending his 14-year search for a second crown.
He said: “Of course it’s close, but there are still two big rounds left to go. I want to win it convincingly and I’m not here to drop points. I’m here to take points.
“It’s a good thing that I’ve got those points, but I’m keeping the same focus. I’m not thinking about what’s going on behind me; I’m just thinking about chasing the world title. You’ve got to score points to win it, so I’m going to keep scoring points.”
If Hancock can seal top spot in Croatia, it would save him having to fend off Hampel in the hostile atmosphere of Gorzow, where Herbie is far from Mr Popular as he rides for the club’s deadliest rivals Zielona Gora.
But the Swedish-based racer is ready to fight for as long as it takes. He said: “It doesn’t matter for me. I want to win the World Championship, so when it comes, it comes.
“Of course I would love to go to Gorican and win that round as well. I’m not getting greedy, but I really love my speedway and I love what’s going on. My bikes are running fantastically. I feel good too.”
Hancock produced one of the moves of the night in heat 15, when he bulldozed Crump aside on turn four.
The ruthless attack underlined the desire which has burned inside the Piraterna man this year. But the Cradley Heath legend was quick to thank the Aussie for letting him make the move safely.
He said: “I tried to make the best of the situation. I saw an open door and I had to go for it. I had the speed. Jason is a great racer and I knew that he would run me hard, but there is a big level of trust we have between each other. I’m grateful to race against him.”
The World Championship leader embraced his pit crew on the fourth turn as he took his victory lap and it’s clear there is a tremendous buzz within Team Hancock.
“It’s unbelievable,” Herbie admitted. “People don’t understand how hard these guys work.
“Obviously I work hard too, but these guys work way more hours than I do, trying to make sure that everything is 100 percent. They’re the ones responsible for keeping me on track. I’ve still got to go out and do the job, but it takes a team to make it work.
“I’m stoked right now and I thank my mechanics so much and my sponsors as well.”

Very pleased for Greg. I have spoken to him on a number of occasions and he genuinely seems like a really nice guy unlike the current holder of the title! Unfortunately the GB involvement in 2012 will be very hard to justify and just shows how the talent in this country has sadly declined.

I'd imagine it'll be impossible to justify and it might be the wake call British Speedway needs but then again we seem happy to be crap these days Harris is the best we have which says it all really. Young Brits would rather have a big van with their name and "International speedway rider" pasted on the side, as well as a Facebook account with lots of unknown friends hightening their sense of self importance. Best to knuckle down first and become a decent rider! |

How very appropriate Hancock should win this GP on this particular weekend.  |

Hancock did the business.
