Nicki Pedersen has revealed the winter regime that can help him regain his world title and lead Eastbourne Eagles to silverware in 2006.

The Dane appears likely to re-sign for another season at Arlington.

He believes he will come back stronger than ever after work to ease a long standing wrist problem.

Pedersen needs medical attention to both wrists after the 110 meetings he has got through this summer.

He said: "I've had problems with my wrists and it could be they are not strong enough.

"They have been operated on in the past and it could be the muscles have gone.

"I need to train a lot in the winter. I'll be going three or four times a week in the gym.

"I also want to relax. I'm going away with my missus to Mexico for couple of weeks.

"It has been a good year for me but you can always improve and I want to do that.

"I've been the best rider worldwide in the leagues this year and that has been nice for me. In the last month every day I haven't had a meeting I've been practising at home in Denmark to get better on slick tracks.

"I know I'm the best rider in the world when there's dirt on the tracks but when they get slick I get problems so I've been working on that."

Pedersen's four-race maximum in Saturday's Craven Shield first leg confirmed him as the undisputed king of Arlington.

He has scored 90 wins in 106 heats at the East Sussex track this summer for an average of 10.43.

His worst evening came when Scott Nicholls beat him three times as Coventry won at Eastbourne in mid-season.

Swindon's Leigh Adams is the only other man to beat him twice in one evening at Arlington.

The other six riders to score an Arlington win over Pedersen read like a who's who of world speedway: Bjarne Pedersen, Hans Andersen, Peter Karlsson, Michael Max, Jason Crump and Mark Loram, though the latter was gifted his win when Pedersen lost control under little pressure in a win over Arena-Essex.
