Crump has fewer races this season due to dropping the British Elite League. “Jason is more relaxed without the additional races,” said Roy Stone, Media Relations Manager. “He’s still full of determination with a constant desire to win every race he contests.”

“Lezno was not kind to me in the 2008 Grand Prix,” said Crump. “I got excluded in the semi-final and only collected 8 points, so it was a poor result. I am a lot fresher now thanks to doing less races and it has made a huge difference.” Crump finished in second place overall in the 2008 Grand World Speedway Grand Prix Series.

Even though Crump is racing less, one thing that has stayed the same on his motorcycles is K&N filters. “My aim is to be World Champion this year,” he said. “Without the support of sponsors like K&N, my fans and my team none of this would be possible. I am physically, mentally and mechanically prepared for the challenge in Lezno, and we will see what the night brings.”

The Grand Prix World Championship Leszno race will be in Poland on May 9.
