World champion Nicki Pedersen recaptured the Danish title at the weekend, whilst Elite League stars Magnus Zetterstrom and Adam Skornicki also won their national crowns.

Despite being world number one, Pedersen was defeated in his domestic championship by rival Hans Andersen 12 months ago.

But Pedersen made sure of triumph after winning the second round of the competition at Outrup.

"Of course I'm happy. Now I don't have to hear that I'm not the best Danish rider, after Hans took the title last year," said Pedersen.

"I'm also very proud to join Erik Gundersen and Hans Nielsen in the record books, they also won the Danish Championship five times."

Poole duo Skornicki and Zetterstrom both provided shocks to claim the Polish and Swedish titles respectively.

Skornicki won in Leszno with a 15-point maximum beating the much fancied Jarek Hampel and Greg Walasek, whilst Grand Prix stars Tomasz Gollob, Krzysztof Kasprzak and Rune Holta all missed out on a podium finish.

Zetterstrom took victory at MasarnaAvesta in a rain-effected meeting. The championship was called off after four rides each - which gave the Poole man his victory on 10 points ahead of Lakeside's Jonas Davidsson.

Edinburgh Monarchs youngster Thomas H Jonasson took third as the likes of Peter Karlsson, Mikael Max, Freddie Lindgren and Andreas Jonsson all missed out.
