IT’S been a long time coming but at last we have another Swindon Robin Grand Prix winner in Jason Doyle, who triumphed in Prague on Saturday.

The Australian had not been making the same impact as in his rookie campaign (2015) but this win puts him up to fourth place in the 2016 series – one place higher than he finished last season.

Four years ago Doyle was an promising but injury-prone second string – now he has morphed into a genuine world class racer.

Fellow Aussie and Swindon legend, Leigh Adams, must be delighted.

A third place in Doyle’s first race hardly gave notice of his intentions but two successive wins did and he qualified for the semi finals with 11 points.

He then sailed through to the final with an easy win as world champion Tai Woffinden was excluded for bringing down talented Pole Bartosz Zmarzlik, who is surely a world champion in waiting,.

The final saw the Swindon skipper up against new series leader Greg Hancock, surprise package Chris Harris and Dane Niels-Kristian Iversen.

The 46-year-old American took the early lead but Doyle left him standing as he overtook the three-time world champion on the first bend of lap two and went on for an easy win.

Meanwhile Coventry’s Harris, riding his third machine of the night, took advantage of Iversen faltering on the last lap to claim an unlikely podium place, but he still lies in last place among the 15 GP regulars.

It had been four years since Harris last earned a GP placing.

After the meeting, and in front of many of his family, Doyle said: “It’s a feeling I never thought I was going to have, but it has happened and it’s a monkey off my back to say I’ve won a Grand Prix.

“I can’t believe what has happened. On the last lap when I was out in front, I was just thinking ‘come on, keep going’.

“Everyone tells you that when you’re going to win something, you can hear the engine ticking over nicely. In the final, the bike rode perfectly. It’s one of those moments I’ll never forget.”

It was a night to forget for Chris Holder and reigning world champ Woffinden. Joint-leaders in the series following the third leg (of 11) in Denmark, Holder could score only five points and that after last places in his first two races.

Woffinden, however, looked set for his fourth successive Czech Republic win at the iconic Marketa Stadium with eight points from his first three rides but his challenge then petered out.

The series continues at Cardiff on July 9 and Hancock must fancy his chances of building on his surprising eight-point lead.
