Jason Crump claimed the Elite League Riders' Championship with victory at Birmingham.

The Belle Vue Aces star had to come through the semi-final before taking the final - but he came through with victory in the final heat.

The top-two scorers in the meeting went straight into the final and that was Peterborough's Kenneth Bjerre and Swindon star Leigh Adams - who claimed 13.

That left the next four, Crump (12), Chris Holder (11), Rory Schlein (10) and Davey Watt (10), to battle it out for the last two places in the final.

Schlein gated and then Crump swooped to take Holder and seal has place in the final.

After falling in the first attempt of the final, Crump remounted and then out-gated everyone to claim the title ahead of fellow countryman Schlein and Bjerre.

It is the fourth time in his career that Crump has taken the title.
