SWINDON skipper Leigh Adams continues his World Championship pursuit at round four of the Speedway Grand Prix in Denmark on Saturday night.
NICKI Pedersen takes a ten-point lead into the fourth round of the Grand Prix series on Saturday - but the double World Champion is yet to win on home soil.
The Danish star has been the most consistent rider in the series so far, building his advantage despite the fact that the individual meeting wins have been taken by Tomasz Gollob, Leigh Adams and Rune Holta.
And despite winning eight Grands Prix in his career, Pedersen has never tasted victory in Denmark, either at current venue Parken or it's predecessor Vojens.
His best result in the event is second place last year, when Andreas Jonsson took the win, whilst he finished fourth in three consecutive years between 2003 and 2005.
The other home riders in the field have all been battling back from injuries, although Bjarne Pedersen's form since his return from a broken wrist has been excellent.
Pedersen suffered the injury in early May and spent nearly a month on the sidelines, missing two Grands Prix, but he has scored heavily in his league racing since then and will be confident of significantly adding to his four points so far.
Niels-Kristian Iversen has not ridden competitively since suffering a dislocated shoulder in the Swedish Grand Prix, whilst Wild Card entry Kenneth Bjerre broke his leg last month and his only meeting since was the World Championship qualifier at Gorican, from which he qualified as reserve for the semi-finals.
Denmark has been an ever-present on the Grand Prix calendar, with Parken hosting the event for a sixth time on Saturday.
Pedersen leads Gollob by ten points in the standings, with Fredrik
Lindgren a further three points behind after his sensational display in Gothenburg.
Just 13 points cover second to ninth in the standings, whilst just outside the top ten the British riders Chris Harris and Scott Nicholls will be determined to put race wins on the board after a complete lack of them so far from either man.
