GERMAN HERO HUCKENBECK HANDED TETEROW CALL-UP

German international Kai Huckenbeck returns as 2023 FIM Speedway GP of Germany – Teterow wild card on June 10, bidding to improve on his best-ever SGP performance in 2022. 

Huckenbeck lines up in the famous No.16 race jacket at the Bergring Arena, where he claimed a strong seven Speedway GP World Championship points last June – falling just two race points short of the semi-final. 

The 30-year-old bids for his first Speedway GP semi-final on June 10, but Huckenbeck has already showed his class, racing to 18 points for Germany at FIM Speedway of Nations Semi-Final 1 in Vojens last July. 

The team just missed out on FIM SON Final qualification in a Final Qualifier shoot-out with Poland. But Huckenbeck still did enough to lead his side to Monster Energy FIM Speedway World Cup qualification, and they head to the tournament in Wroclaw from July 25-29, bidding to reach Germany’s first FIM SWC Final of the 21st century. 

Huckenbeck’s international performances saw him named as third substitute rider for the 2023 Speedway GP series, meaning he may get further opportunities to race in this year’s championship if a few of the regular members of the Speedway GP line-up are sidelined due to injury, illness or other reasons. 

Huckenbeck is joined in Teterow by his 2022 FIM SON teammates Norick Blodorn and Michael Hartel, who line up as track reserves in the No.17 and No.18 race jackets respectively. 

The riders are two of Germany’s brightest young stars and will get their chance to shine if any of the main 16 riders are forced out of a heat due to injury, illness, a starting disqualification, or other reasons.
