All associated with the 'Cases' Somerset Rebels would like to extend heart-felt congratulations to ex-Rebel Jason Doyle who was crowned the 2017 World Speedway Champion earlier today.

Going into today's final round of the Championship in Melbourne, Jason needed just 8 points to assure himself of a maiden World Championship title, and after two race wins from his opening two rides, a further win in heat 10 was the cue for much deserved celebrations, and ever the professional, Jason rounded off a never to be forgotten night by winning his home Grand Prix ahead of Tai Woffinden and Bartosz Zmarzlik.
