Speedway Grand Prix - 2007

A new scoring system was introduced at the start of the 2007 season.
Scoring in heats 1 - 20 is unchanged: 3 points for a win, 2 points for second and 1 point for third.
In the two semi-finals the third placed rider now scores 1 point.
In the final there are now 6 points for a win, 4 points for second and 2 points for third.

Not that this had any real effect on the dominant year-long perormance of Nicki Pedersen who never faltered in his quest to regain the world crown.
