Jason Crump

it yes um it was very close it all got down to one race in actual fact would you believe it can't after 10 rounds it got down to one race so that's how close this competition really is now Brady Kurtz will attempt to become only the seventh rider, and this is the interesting statistic here, Michael, only the seventh rider in World Speedway Championship history since the inauguration of the championship in 1936. to win the World Individual Championship, following in the tyre tracks of Lionel van Praag, 1936, Arthur Wilkinson, 1938, Jack Young, 51, 52.

And, of course, then in the more modern era, Jason Crump, who won in 2004, 2006 and 2009, Chris Holder, 2012, and Jason Doyle, 2017.

So he's got some illustrious names in front of him, but he is capable of doing it here, Michael.

That's the most important thing.

Yeah, because you were born in '96.

So that era of, you know, Jason Crump, Ryan Sullivan, you know, Lee Adams, all these legends, like, you were like a proper kid then when those boys were riding.

Oh, yeah.

So I'm re- I'm remembering from probably 2002 onwards, I guess.

Then Jack Young from South Australia, 1951-52, at Wembley Stadium.

Of course, we have Jason Crump, 2004, 2006, 2009.

Chris Holder, 2012, and Jason Doyle, 2017.

So our history in this event is absolutely magnificent.
