of Sweden during the racing
season. I have a full workshop
there with bikes and I have my
main workshop, which is actu-
ally in Poland where we keep
most of our grand prix equipment
and the Polish league bikes, as
well. All I have to do basically for
myself is that I have to get from
myself from point A to point B
and my mechanics take care of
everything else. They get the
bikes here and there, and I basi-
cally meet them at a track some-
where. Typically, it can be Sun-
day at a race in Poland, and then
Monday I travel back to Sweden.
Tuesday we race in Sweden
and then Wednesday will usually
be a day off to regroup and get
everything cleaned up. Thursday
I'll be preparing everything to
leave again on Friday for Grand
Prix practice. We'll race the on
Saturday and I'm back in Poland
on Sunday for another league
match. And then it will start all
over again on Monday when I'm
back in Sweden. We're going all
around Europe, we're going all
around Sweden and we're going
all around Poland and then we
finish in Australia for the World
Championship.
How long are going to do this
for? How long do you want to
be a World Champion?
Good question. I don't know,
man. I go year-to-year. Every
day I wake up and I believe I can
win. I'm true to myself and I keep
going because I love doing what
I do and I want to be the best.
Until I wake up and feel differ-
ently, I don't envision giving it up
any time soon.
Last question: How cool
would it be to have an FIM
Speedway World Champion-
ship Grand Prix at, say at the
StubHub Center in Los Angeles
or Petco Park in San Diego? I
mean, Southern California is
one of the spiritual homelands
of speedway, isn't it?
Man, I've been waiting for that
since I was 18 years old. I've never
had the chance to race the World
Championship in my home coun-
try. I've been to a number of other
places and won grand prix events
in many parts of the world, but I've
never been able to ride in front of
the home crowd. I understand it,
but I hope that it happens before I
say that I've had enough. CN
Still got it after all these years.
Can he make 5X?
