SWINDON Robins skipper Jason Doyle is determined not to throw away his chanceof World Championship glory after blasting to his third Grand Prix victory of the season in Germany last night.

Doyle won the historic 200th SGP event – his third SGP round of the season and his second on the trot - after rounding Polish starlet Bartosz Zmarzlik with an epic opening lap and a half to triumph in the final in Teterow.

With World Championship leader Greg Hancock finishing third, Doyle has cut his advantage from seven points to five in only his second Grand Prix campaign.

Doyle, who also won in Prague earlier in the campaign and Gorzow, Poland, last time out said: “I think many years ago, I didn’t have what I have worked for now. I don’t want to throw it away.

"I had many years with injuries and people putting me down, saying I wasn’t good enough and ‘go back to Australia.’

“I wanted to give myself some plans and some goals to make it in speedway. I didn’t want to go back home and say I didn’t give it 100 per cent. When I retire, I want to say I did it 100 per cent.

“I’ve spent a lot of money. People just think you rock up with two or three bikes and that’s it. But there is a lot of behind-the-scenes work with engines and with the boys.”

Doyle paid tribute to his mechanics, father and son duo Dave and Sam Haynes, Johno Birks and Mark Seabright.

He said: “What a great team I have backing me. Every time I win a race or come in after the race, they’re giving me praise.

"In the times I need a little bit of help, they give the right feedback. I am really happy with how everything is working.

"My mechanics haven’t been home for many weeks, so I think they need to take the praise for all the hard work they’ve been doing.

“My engine tuner Flemming Graversen is a great guy too. We give him some stick during the year, but everything has been working with him.

“It’s not just the engine tuner; we still have to put the bike together. I have great blokes behind me.

"My mechanics work their backsides off. They don’t get the sleep when they need it; they work tirelessly. When I won the final, they were hanging over the fence to celebrate with me and that means a lot.”

Doyle again delivered a stunning final performance, as he had at Gorzow, but admitted: “I didn’t make the best of starts, but I had some speed going around turns one and two on the second lap. I don’t really remember; it was just head down, backside up and try to do something special!

“I knew when Bartosz got in front it was going to be very difficult to hunt him down. I knew I had to do it in the first two laps; he’s very quick on these big tracks. But it worked out.

"I just want to go to Melbourne (the final Grand Prix of the season) and know I’m in the GPs again. Of course we’re going to be pushing for a world title. But we’re enjoying ourselves.

“We’re amateurs we’ve been told! We’re amateur speedway riders and mechanics. We’ll keep who told us that a secret, but it was said we were only coming in for one year, and we’re up there.”

The Stockholm SGP is next on September 24, followed by the Grand Prix of Poland on October 1, before the season finale – the Australian SGP at Melbourne’s Etihad Stadium on October 22.
