A home defeat could have seen Teesside relegated from the UL, but The Transporters made sure of their top-flight status with a comfortable 48-42 win over Aberavon which prevented the Welsh giants' hope of another title.
Teesside never looked like losing and were ten points before allowing a late come-back from the Gems.
Every Teesside had at least one paid win and had it not been for two shocks lasts from number one Hans E Bergestol in his last two rides, things could have been more emphatic.
Team boss Graeme Bailey said: "Hans was trying stuff out in the last two heats which he asked to do and we agreed as we knew we were comfortable and with the World Final coming up, he was more than due that - he has been wonderful this season."
