HE IS an Elite League champion, a British Under-21 champion, a Grand Prix star; but Tai Woffinden insists winning the speedway World Cup would top all of that.

It would be a remarkable achievement for the Scunthorpe-based rider and the Great Britain team, who go into tonight's final, their first in three years, as firm underdogs.

Defending champions Poland are clear favourites, while host nation Denmark will hope to have an advantage.

Sweden make up a tough quartet, though Woffinden refuses to fear any of them.

"It will be one of the biggest things in my career. If we win, it will probably be the biggest thing," said the 19-year-old, who will hope to get a feel for the track ahead of the GP round there in September.

"Representing Great Britain, not many people get to do that, so it's pretty big.

"It's a small track.

"I rode there a couple of years ago in a World Cup year, but it will be perfect for the GPs as well.

"I think we've got a good chance.

"Why not? They are only human, on a speedway bike.

"All of the riders are going to be tough to beat. It's the final so nothing is going to be easy."

Woffinden will ride through the pain barrier to help his country after suffering a rib injury in their Event Two qualifier on Monday.

The former Scorpion collided with the air fence in heat 10 at King's Lynn when trying to round Australian Rory Schlein.

Nevertheless, he still finished with seven points, including a race win, as Britain clinched victory.

"I'm a bit sore at the moment, but we'll see how it goes," Woffinden said.

"No way will it stop me racing.

"We knew we had the possibility to do it on Monday and we were all up for it.

"We just put in 110 per cent and it all worked out.

"I was quite happy with how I did. I was a bit disappointed with the crash but I had a race win and a few good races.

"There was some good racing. It's good riding against them."

It marked an upturn in fortunes for the ex-Scorpion, who has struggled for form during a difficult year.

His home GP in Cardiff earlier this month appears to have been a turning point, with Woffinden deciding to part company with his tuner, former world champion Michael Lee.

"It's not been long since Cardiff but I've sorted out a lot of things which have made my life much easier," he said.

"After Cardiff I made a few decisions. I changed my engine tuner and now my engines are a lot faster and I'm scoring points again.

"I've got a lot less things to worry about these days and I've started riding a lot better.

"It's hard. When you get to the top everyone is trying to knock you down again.

"I'm riding like I used to now."
