triumph in Daugavpils, Latvia,
July 18, and pledged to forget all
about it!

Under-21 World Champion

Triple World champ Nicki
Pedersen was second, pipping

three wins and two third places
apiece. This meant the Dane
got the verdict, having won their
head-to-head battle in race 16.
But Janowski was the clear

after being crowned Polish
Champion for the first time.
Despite his speedway CV
getting more impressive by the

success for me and my team.

whole career. I hope this is not
the last GP I win. For sure this
will make me put in more hard
work.

Polish champion Maciej Janowski
claimed his first GP win.
