Australian ace Leigh Adams is ecstatic about the prospect of a Grand Prix taking place at Sydney's Olympic Stadium next year.

The Cheetahs star said: "The news is awesome, it's going to a huge affair. It's really amazing the way the GP series is coming on in leaps and bounds, and I just hope British speedway can work with them and shuffle things round because the GP has helped speedway in general.

"The product is very good now and the TV exposure we are getting is marvellous."

2002 Grand Prix programme: May 11 Norway, May 25 Poland, June 8 Cardiff, June 22 Slovenia, July 6 Sweden, July 20 Czech Republic, Aug 31 Sweden, Sept 14 Poland, Sept 28 Denmark, Oct 25 Australia.
