 Welcome to a celebration of Cardiff's 20 years as host venue to the Speedway Grand Prix series and some of its most iconic moments. In at number 20 is a I Was There moment. Yes, it was 2001 as Mark Gloram led out the likes of Billy Hamill, Tony Rickardson, Tomasz Golov, Lee Adams, Nikki Pedersen and Jason Crump to name a few. The Cardiff noise created within this indoor arena may have been deafening for Britain's Mark Gloram and the rest of the riders, but it would be for the next 20 years become the events trademark. But on such an iconic night, there would only be one man's name in lights. Away they go and it's a great start from Rickardson. Rickardson gets ahead. Rickardson, where Rickardson is ahead. Tomasz Golov in second and Jason Crump trying to go around the outside. It was all happening behind Tony. They were all shifting for that second assistant of that chance to get that extra drive. The pass of Jason's moving high. Tomasz makes a mistake. Jason goes in the second place. Tony's well out front with Nickerson last. So the six-time world champion and for some the greatest Speedway rider of the modern era etched himself into history on that famous night as Cardiff's first ever Grand Prix winner. At 19 it was Craig Cook and to use his words, he goes to Trap City. So for the Englishmen a night to remember under the roof of this famous venue. Well, Cardiff and the Speedway weekend wouldn't be complete if you didn't take in the fan zone. You voted this in at number 18 as for many of the fans it's a favourite part of the whole experience when visiting the spiritual home of the sports. A place to meet the riders and get that all-important autograph and selfie. At number 17 we take you back to 2013 and a young Russian rider by the name of Emil Seifutinov. A crash in the initial running of the final saw Sweden's Ferdinand Lindgren disqualified leaving three at the takes for the second start. And here comes Seifutinov from the outside. What a move from the Russian! Down the back straight, Emil Seifutinov leads Kristoff Kasperzak. Kasperzak's having a go now. One last move once Kristjan Emerson second. Kasperzak goes to third. He threw absolutely everything at Seifutinov there. Of course it's my dream win here so satsum atmosphere you know is thank you very much for all fans thank you. 16, we come bang up to date with a very emotional night for a certain day. Here we go, can Smalsik get there? Oh, Madsen's made a beauty. Smalsik makes ground over, Smalsik's locked up. Smalsik has locked up. Oh, he just holds up to second. No he doesn't. Oh, Smalsik's made a bit of a handshake there. But what can you say about Madsen? He won in Warsaw in very similar conditions. He's going to win in the Principality tonight. It's been a tough time for Madsen the last few rounds but he's going to win. Win that in. Fantastic. Man, he turned on the start there. How good was he on the start night? An emotional night indeed for the man who went on to become second in the world in 2019. Sneaking in at 15, personally I think it should be higher, is the famous Cardiff Groffory opening ceremony. Not one stood out but all. Months in the planning these extravaganza over the years have seen lights and laser shows, music, singing and dancing delighting the crowd. Symbolizing the start of the evening with the introduction of the riders ahead of racing, it's become a firm family favorite. Back to the track for number 14 and 2003 and the man who truly became the Grand Prix's pantomime villain. Let's go. Oh and it's a great start. The inside from Nicky Fennison and from Rick Arson. But Rick Arson forced out wide from that outside gate and Fennison now coming out of pressure from Greg Hancock. A day that Nicky couldn't get set away he was going to start in that inside line. He just got a little bit slight of a roller and he pulls it off. He's out in front. He's got the rest of the boys chasing them down. It's the man who's never won the British Grand Prix before who's in front at the moment. The battle's on for second place. It's Jason Grump with Rick Arson trying to go around the outside as it's a trouble. Greg Hancock just hits the ruts. He does. There's all kinds of little ruts out there without taking it for a ride if you don't hold on to it. But not for Nicky Fennison. He's out in front enjoying clean air. This is remarkable stuff Sam. He's been on the ground. I think it's down a couple of times tonight and yet here he is in front. He's determined to take this one and guess what he's going to carry this one into his home country the next Grand Prix. And it's also going to move him up in the championship as well. This is great stuff. He was second in the season open of the European Grand Prix. He wins the British Grand Prix in Cardiff. Nicky Fennison the man that everyone wanted to hate but is pure box office at number 13. And it's our first dust off away from the start. And it's a good one for Holder. And now diving up the inside is Jason Grump. How close is that? Grump has a lead not for long though because Davey Watt comes through and charges through magnificently. Fellow Australian Davey Watt would go on to win the race but a few choice words were about to happen between his fellow countrymen and Holder and Grump having one or two words What's going on there? A little conversation with your fellow Australian? Yeah it's nothing. I mean of course Chris is frustrated because he didn't get a lot of rim left but that's Grand Prix racing. I've been in plenty of situations and I've had no rim left. You know he'll learn. He's a great rider and you know this huge is huge in the sport. Chris Holder's Grand Prix is tough. We all know that and you all want to... I don't know you know I just I've been annoyed but whatever let's race. Just got to get some points now for the last one. I need to win this one. Taking the 12th spot and a very likable Polish man and now world champion. A rider who has never missed a Cardiff final. Here we go! It's a second place but I think it's going to do it. Smarslicks getting up here. No question. It's a terrific ride from the pole. Bartol Smarslik and Poland wins the British Grand Prix. Many congratulations to Bartol Smarslik. He is fully deserved to win on the night. Just dropping two points. Just outside the top 10 and one special heat for an Englishman in 2016. Here we go. Number 19. Smarslicks made a good get there. Now can Segar move the switch at the inside. What can Hancock do? He's at the back at the moment. Danny King comes through it's a second. Danny King is going wild and he loves doing that Danny King. Danny King comes through to the lead! What a ride from the British Wild Guard. That's what he's all about Danny King. Bartol Smarslik. This would be a moment that Danny King will remember for the rest of his life. Smarslicks second and Segar has come through. It's a third ahead of Greg Hancock. It's a bit like buses, isn't it? You have to wait all day to see one and then suddenly two come along at the same time but I've given the commentator's curse. Keep it as it is right there in front. Hancock's out of the bag. Into the top 10 now and we have our three-time world champion Ty Woopendon in that wonder heat 19 in 2015. And Woopendon's been left standing at the start. It's Hancock up two. Magnificent from Greg Hancock has that lead and here comes Woopendon round the outside and Everson is trying the inside line as well. Woopendon goes wild. He's going to try the inside switch and Everson's come through and now Woopendon up the inside! Brilliant move from Woopendon to get into second place. Everson coming back at him hard down the back straight. Woopendon just about gets himself back into that second place. Water start from the world champion out of gate two Hancock. Brilliant stuff from him. Woopendon now coming out of the start! Still without a car to victory can the three-time world champion do it in 2020. At nine and into the top 10 of most memorable moments over the past 20 years, the fireworks. Thousands of flashes, bangs, arse and ooze over the years have gone up in smoke and at times into the roof as the fireworks beautifully timed and in sync end the evening drawing closure on yet another year. In at number eight and it's about first corners. 2011 and a young Saif Uhtonov lined up in the final with Hancock, Pedersen and Holder. Off the start and exciting turn one the Russian battling with Holder for position seemed to hit a rut spectacularly throwing him off his bike thus excluding him from the rerun. Three left in the final and who would be the first into turn one. The three remaining riders have all won a Cardiff before. Pedersen in 0-3, Holder last year, Hancock off the outside in 0-4. Who's going to emerge? Pedersen charges hard up inside. They're all going to the facts. Did he stay on the bike? That was sensational and very reminiscent of Andreas Jonsson and Tony Riccardo with the wall of death rides around here Exactly that. Nicky Pedersen pushing so hard from the inside, squeezed him all up and Greg Hancock had to have closed his eyes. A tough but fair fight as Greg Hancock took the spoils on the night and his second Cardiff win under the roof. Chris Holder, Yanelli did it two years in a row. I know I was coming to the tapes dreaming about that you know and I put everything into it and that was probably the two toughest first corners I think I've ever done on a speedway bike and I wouldn't have put my life on the line that big for any other bit but Cardiff man you're going to do crazy things. Nicky Pedersen, we didn't need nearly as much track in the first corner, wasn't very wide there. He's the only guy like this you know we stay on it otherwise somebody would have come off you know. Chris he pushed me a little bit over the wide line you know and I didn't really have anywhere else to go but we still saw Greg wouldn't manage to go around us you know so there was a room for everybody you know but it was a tough race you know but these boys they're fantastic you know and everyone deserved to win it tonight. At number seven, yes it's that man Nicky Pedersen again in the thick of the action as he gets caught up with the exclusion of Davey Watt in 2010, heat 19. The rerun and he then sets about his fellow countrymen. Oh jeez that was so close he looks over his shoulder and says okay he didn't fall off come on baby let's race for it. This is amazing stuff and Ty Waffendon raises the Millennium Stadium roof, second place Hans Anderson, Nicky Pedersen third but Anderson and Pedersen fellow countrymen really knocking lumps out of each other and well one or two afters here just like we saw with Holder and Crump it's tense out there. Look at Nicky Pedersen watch there's a little bit of elbow there, hands what's he gonna do looks like he's backing off saying okay never mind let's get on with it let's just get out of here. Nicky's going oh still going on uh-oh uh-oh okay these two are supposed to be teammates in the Speedway World Cup not too far ahead from here and well I'm sure when he calms down a little bit later they'll have a proper discussion about that. Just outside the top five favorite moments and we go back to 2004 Greg Hancock's first ever Cardiff win featuring the late Lee Richardson. He's giving it his all terrific first lap and Lee Richardson are great at from the outside but here comes Adams just caught in the wrong position there Richardson. Meanwhile Crump is at the back he blew it at the start tried to anticipate but his Hancock looks good out front. Yeah Lee Adams has moved up to second place and now he's putting the pressure on Greg Hancock who clenches over his shoulder as Lee Richardson is pushed back down to third as we say Crump he's struggling a little bit. No Adams has got so much speed he's come from nowhere looks like he might be hitting the front oh what a race this prospect here. Coming up to the last corner who's going to win the British Grand Prix Hancock goes on the line and has got the inside line, side by side across the line and I think Hancock got it. Indeed Hancock did the likeable American would go on to win two more Grand Prix's under the famous roof and over the years has proven to be one of the fans favorite riders. In at number five 2010 final and an Australian and that trophy. Going into turn one didn't lose his composure look at him now right in the middle of the track he's leaving the door wide open from experienced boys on the inside of him this guy's brave he's confident he's working the racetrack. To repeat what I said earlier three weeks ago Chris Holder who leads the British Grand Prix final thought he'd broken his arm in Torrent and yet here he is on the verge of a dream victory but Jason Crump's coming back for more these two have a bit of afters a little bit earlier in the meeting but it looks like Holder's going to have the last one. Chris Holder first time in Cardiff first final hey a lot of people come up to me saying that money on us and I just laugh at it but to be honest man I honestly can't believe that just happened and they're the longest fall laps and the slowest fall laps I think I've ever done and I knew they were behind me and I was just trying not to think too much just trying to ride my own race I'm stoked the way I worked out it was Chris would go on to win Cardiff again in 2012 the year he became world champion at number four and one of the greatest individual performances seen under the roof 2009 and three-time world champion Jason Crump and a seven ride maximum away they go Crump makes a fantastic stop, roars into the first corner powers down that back straight Frederick Lindgren into second place Hancock at this stage in third but Crump once again unstoppable out front what an explosive start once again Freddie did a great first corner to put himself into the second position but Hancock now has got some pressure look at hands Anderson really working the outside is he going to settle for that or is he going to keep pushing I'm sure he's going to keep pushing Sam there's no doubt about he wants to make the roster tonight he's had a disappointing campaign this year but out front Jason Crump the consistency the performance tonight he's stretching that lead in the world championship everything going his way Anderson now roaring around the outside can he get the better of Greg Hancock yes he can what a performance from him stealing that third place away but Jason Crump what a performance he wins the ball free in the Millennium Stadium oh what a knock for Jason Crump doesn't get much better than that seven out of seven tonight 24 points on the table stretching away at the top of the table in the world championship Jason Crump in a class of his own so to your top three moments over the past two decades it's the first corner in 2009 and hit five with Britain's Scott Nichols and Russian ML safety to knock more handbags yeah look at that oh look a little bit of competition there ML's got something to say to Scotty they're they're knocking elbows Kelv they are indeed all looks like it's escalating so good enough not letting go oh what's going on here from Nichols no doubt about it didn't see much wrong there from Scotty Nichols no doubt about it he was racing hard desperate for points this year in the Grand Prix series and what can you say oh out of order we just seen one of Saiputino's crew there and it sparked off again a night of much tension for our two warriors of shale number two and always in the memories of you the fans we have Tony Riccardo infamous wall of death away we go good start from Apple Riccardo's running around the outside and he's still there right around the outside goes Riccardo I can't believe what I've just seen Ben that's unbelievable we shouldn't have been able to get away with that he's written the wall of death there right around the air thing look about doing it the hard way you certainly did that today yeah well what can I say I think that's my best best first corner in my whole career it was just perfect I'm so happy you could describe that as motocross almost yeah I think it was a bit of a motocross velodrome racing a little bit of speedway in it as well the six-time world champion still has never quite understood how he managed to achieve that move and to this very day nor does any of his fellow competitors so at number one and the most memorable moment of 20 years 2007 Chris Harris lines up in the final with the weight and expectation of a nation Chris Harris could win this it would be such a massive boost from British speedway forward to your seats because I've got last but he's coming through now into third and into second as well Chris Harris luckily went out of shape he's gone from second to the back into third place fabulous fabulous start from Greg Hancock there from gate three oh Chris Harris up into second spot oh this is unbelievable Hancock looking comfortable but Chris Harris is still there he's still going for it crump is done and Harris is wheeled Chris Gabbana he's going to have to ride all over the track to stop him what live is that Chris Harris turned back up the inside sensational ride from Chris Harris have we ever seen a Grand Prix for win this anything like it he's had seven rows tonight he's only made one stone out of seven wonderful performance absolutely remarkable you know and you've got to save the crowd they've been entertained look they've gone absolutely wild wild indeed and not a dry eye in the house as Chris Harris achieved what no other British rider has accomplished since to win his own Grand Prix under the famous roof of Cardiff stadium number one on the night then and our number one of our 20 years of iconic moments
