GP Challenge 2009

GP Challenge @ Coventry 2009


One of the most important speedway meetings in the FIM calender took place at Coventry last week and Clean Cut sports were there to film all the action and there was action a plenty! The fight for the all important three places in the GP's next year, were up for grabs and there was a surprise in store for the masses of fans.


37 year old Magnus Zetterstrom, the veteran of the field was the eventual winner after a dominant display, only dropping one point and beating the impressive young Aussie star, Chris Holder. "Zorro's" performance may have been surprising but it was fully deserved after a hard night which involved being in several crashes that may have ruled him out of the meeting but he battled on to secure his ride for the GP's in 2010.


Polish fans were out in force for one of their heroes, Jarek Hampel , he felt the pressure was on to deliver when it came to his final race of the night when only 3 points and the win would secure him the final place to qualify for the GP's. With the support of hoards of very noisy and enthusiastic Polska fans, he roared to victory and will return back to the GP's where he can hopefully show his full potential on the world stage after being unlucky in the past being plagued with injuries.


I was lucky enough to be interviewing at the GP Challenge...here are a few photos of me interviewing 3rd placed man, Jarek Hampel and a photo after our interview - this was a very late night but very worthwhile.
