CHRIS Holder claimed the third Grand Prix win of his career by storming to victory in Leszno tonight.
The Pirates spearhead started his night with a last place but managed to finish on 10 points and reach the semi-finals.
The 24-year-old Aussie won his semi-final in style, holding off the advancing world champion Greg Hancock before storming past Andreas Jonsson on lap three to take the chequered flag.
And in a stunning final, Holder went past home favourite Jarek Hampel into second before charging up the inside of Tomasz Gollob on the final lap to silence a partisan Polish crowd.
