PIRATES star Chris Holder won his second career Grand Prix in Gothenburg tonight.

The Aussie was sitting pretty alongside American Greg Hancock on 10 points when the Swedish Grand Prix was abandoned following heat 16 in heavy rain.

But because Holder had beaten Hancock in heat 11, the Aussie was declared the winner.

The victory was Holder's first since he claimed a dramatic triumph at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium just under a year ago.
