1969 Individual Speedway World Championship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1969 Individual Speedway World Championship was the 24th edition of the official World Championship to determine the world champion rider.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
The final was sponsored by the Sunday Mirror and held at Wembley. Ivan Mauger retained his title and won £1,000 in prize money. Barry Briggs finished second again after beating Sören Sjösten in a run-off for silver.[7][8]
The format of the Championship changed again for the 1969 event. This time the Swedish riders were pooled with the Continental and European sections that would provide 10 riders for the World Final, while the British and Commonwealth riders would supply 6 riders for the World Final to be held at Wembley Stadium in London.
