SWINDON’S Jason Doyle won the 200th Speedway Grand Prix in Teterow, northern Germany on Saturday.

It was his second GP win in succession and his third victory of 2016.

But American Greg Hancock, who was competing in his 199th GP over 22 seasons, still leads the series, albeit by a slim five points.

Doyle was outstanding in his first four races, winning them comfortably. However, in his final qualifier, he and his all-British support team – something of a rarity – tweaked the bike and the Swindon man finished last behind winner Peter Kildemand.

Robins asset Kildemand has struggled since winning the first GP of the season and once again failed to make the semi finals.

Semi final one saw Doyle face reigning world champ Tai Woffinden, Chris Holder and Niels-Kristian Iversen. The Dane was quick from the gate and headed home Doyle, which eliminated Holder and Woffinden, who was nursing a thumb injury.

The final was another classic – at least for the first two laps. Drawn in the outside gate on this somewhat sandy track, Doyle was last going into turn one but by the end of turn two on the second lap he had forced his way into a lead he never relinquished.

Doyle remains the only rider to have won more than one GP this season. The talented Pole Bartosz Zmarzlik finished second just ahead of Hancock, leaving Iversen at the back.

The series moves to Stockholm on September 24 and Poland's wonderful Torun a week later. The series concludes at the Etihad Stadium in Melbourne on October 22.

There would be a certain irony if Doyle took the title there as not only is he Australian but Etihad are one of his sponsors.

A note of caution, however. Hancock won in Australia last year with a maximum seven race wins and at the same time Doyle crashed out, suffering serious injuries when challenging the American on the first turn of the final.

Such is Doyle's form it would be unwise to dismiss his chances of being 2016 world champion. He has so much speed, is clearly settled and enjoying his speedway and, importantly, he is busier than Hancock.

So far Doyle has raced nine times this month with his Swedish club favourites to take their championship.

Though he top-scored for his Polish club Zielona Gora in Sunday’s second-leg play off against the Hancock-led Torun, it was the US star's team which progressed to the final.
