King's Lynn boss Rob Lyon led the GB team

Great Britain failed to follow up on their first round heroics by finishing last in the World Cup final in Denmark.

Poland blew away the Danes, Sweden and Britain at Vojens to cement their status as the kings of speedway.

Coventry's Chris Harris top scored for Rob Lyon's men, who were 11 short of the Poles' 44-point haul.

Lakeside's Lee Richardson, Wolverhampton's Tai Woffinden, Ipswich's Scott Nicholls and Swindon's Simon Stead all scored less than 10.

The Danes took second place, with Peterborough's Kenneth Bjerre and Hans Andersen both picking up nine points, leaving the Swedes in third.
