Australian Jason Crump has won the 2006 FIM Individual Speedway World Championship having taken an unassailable 71-point lead in the series af✃ter the Prague round on the weekend.

Crump's 14-points at the meet made him World Champion for 🌳the second t🔥ime - having won the same championship in 2004, quite a feat with still two rounds of the current championship remaining.

The Aussie only had to finish clear of American Greg Hancock who had a disastrous🥀 night - bundled out of the run🥃ning when he suffered engine trouble at the beginning of heat 15.

Hancock failed t🦩o grab any poi🐟nts in his first two rides before winning race three to claim maximum points.

However trouble reared itself in heat 🥀15 meaning that the points Crump had earned were enough to hand him the title.

Mode♎st in championship vic♎tory, Crump admitted that this would not have been the way he had scripted winning his second title, but was overjoyed to once again be at the top of the Speedway tree.

"I didn't want to win it that way and it was cruel for Greg to lose his chanc🧸e like that, but for me, this is just brilliant and something that I have worked hard for all season," Crump said.

"I take great satisfact🐲ion from this, and I want to thank all the people who have helped me to reach the summit."

At the end of the 2005 championship, Crump made some important decisions to restructure his entire racing team -🐭 decisions that the recently turned 31-year-old has certainly seen pay off.

"After losing the World Championship to Tony Rickardsson last year, I knew I had to make s𒁏ome tough decisions if I was🥂 to progress. And those decisions have paid off.

"I changed my machinery, restructured the whole operation of the team and set some💟 goals and we have achieved the desirꦇed results.

"And to achieve the goals with two Grand Prix rounds remaining make🍨s it all that more ꦬsatisfying."

Fellow Aus♐tralian Leigh Adams moved into third place outright in the overall standings, while Ryan Sullivan claimed nine points for the meet having be𒈔en elevated in as an emergency replacement.

꧑The two rounds remaining in the series are in Latvia and Poland on September 9 and 23 respectively.
