Jack Holder

Aussie ace Jack Holder is no stranger to the FIM Speedway Grand Prix pits, having been a regular visitor over the years with his 2012 world-title-winning older brother Chris.

But now Jack gets his chance to take the spotlight in his own right on the back of two sensational seasons in the world’s top leagues.

After finishing second in the 2020 Australian Championship, he played a key role in Gorzow reaching the play-off final of Poland’s PGE Ekstraliga, as well as helping Torun win promotion back into the top flight – leading the First Division average charts in the process.

He continued his strong form with Torun in 2021, as well as helping British club Sheffield reach the SGB Premiership play-off semi-finals.

It was only a matter of time before Holder’s Speedway GP opportunity came and, with Artem Laguta and Emil Sayfutdinov’s licences suspended by the FIM until further notice, the man due to serve as this year’s first substitute rider has been elevated into the line-up.

He will be determined to take his unexpected chance to shine on the sport’s biggest stage.
