SWINDON Robins skipper Jason Doyle clinched his first podium position of the Grand Prix campaign as he finished third in last night's Warsaw Speedway Grand Prix.

The Abbey Stadium number one came in behind Maciej Janowski and event winner Freddie Lindgren to move second in the overall standings after two rounds.

Doyle scored 15 points to move him onto 27 from the opening two rounds.

The Australian rider said: “It’s nice to finally be on the podium after going all the way in Slovenia and not making it on to the rostrum.

“What a race! You get to the final and it’s no holds barred. What a great ride from Freddie and Magic. They were throwing everything at each other.

“I’d just like to thank my team and all my sponsors for sticking by me when I had such a bad injury last year. It just shows hard work does pay off.”

Lindgren ended his five-year wait for an FIM Speedway Grand Prix win with his first victory since he won the Swedish SGP at Gothenburg’s Ullevi Stadium in 2012 to retain the championship lead.

He said: “Right now I am just pumped with adrenaline. It’s so cool to ride in this stadium in front of all these people and perform like I did tonight.

“It’s something that we live to do. It’s what I like. I have been training so hard in the winter. I have so many good people behind me – all my sponsors and pit crew; everyone is helping me out. I’m so pleased to give back to them.

“I feel absolutely awesome. I have only won one GP before. This is so important for me.”

The world chmpionship moves on to the Latvian GP at Daugavpils on May 27.
