GRAND Prix Final qualification round winner Antonio Lindback today admitted that August was proving to be "an unbelievable month for me", writes Steve Allen in Vojens.

Just seven days after appearing on the rostrum at Poole as a World Cup winner with Sweden, he was standing proudly on the top podium again, this time in Vojens on Saturday having booked his GP ticket for next year.

Talking about the meeting he won in Denmark, the teenage Pirates star said: "I can't really believe all this is happening, but it is great that it is.

"Everything went really well for me tonight.

"I made the gates really good, the bike was set up good and that made it much easier for me but still the bikes were fast.

"I can't begin to understand what has happened to me this year because it has been so brilliant and now I have even more to look forward to.

"I'm going to Gothenburg as a wild card for the Scandinavian GP next weekend when I will be out to do my best and see what happens.

"And I'm very much looking forward to it."

Second-placed Tomasz Chrzanowski, like Lindback also a Poole RIAS asset, admitted the rained-off practice session in Vojens on Friday nearly proved costly for him.

He said: "I had the bikes set-up wrong to start off with and that is why I didn't begin the meeting too well.

"Those sort of things would normally be identified during practice but with rain we had that day meant we couldn't get out there and try things out.

"But once I changed a few things round it seemed to work out and I am very happy about being in the GPs next year.

"I know it will be a long winter as I look forward to being a GP rider next season.

"But I have a good sponsor in Poland and I am hoping they will be able to help me make sure I am competitive enough for it.

"Every rider who has ambition wants to be a GP rider.

"Because of the problems I had a couple of years ago off-track with an auto accident I have lost a lot time, but I haven't lost any ambition.

"I am looking forward to being with top riders next season and just now I am so pleased to have qualified."

The rider who came so close but so far in Vojens was Hans Andersen who admitted that he wasn't going to get "too down over what happened tonight."

Andersen - also a Pirates asset - finished top of the qualifying score chart with 14 points, but he suffered a mechanical fault in the final to rob him of a top-two place and automatic entry into next year's GP series.

The Dane said: "I know that it wasn't me that let things down, it was a bike problem and that can happen any time.

"It would have been hard to take if it had been down to my ability.

"I know that I am still good enough to be in the GPs and this result won't really put any extra pressure on me for the remaining GPs this year.

"I hope that they (the authorities) will look on this meeting as a whole.

"I was the top scorer, I got all the way to the final and it was a problem that cost me in the end.

"No other Dane qualified tonight so hopefully they will take all of that into account when they come to nominate the wild cards for next year.

"I was the top Dane in the World Cup so hopefully that will count for something too."
