Biography

Danish racer Mikkel Michelsen booked his place in the 2022 FIM Speedway Grand Prix series by sealing his second Speedway European Championship in 2021 – adding to his 2019 SEC triumph.

He made his full-time Speedway GP debut in 2020, finishing 14th, but it’s fair to say the opportunity came at short notice. He was called up just two weeks before the season started to replace the injured Martin Smolinski.

After sitting out the 2021 series, he finished 11th in the 2022 Speedway GP standings, reaching finals at the opening two rounds in Croatia and Warsaw, where he was third and fourth respectively.

After a season disrupted by injuries in 2022, he will be bidding for his first Speedway GP win in 2023 after receiving a permanent wild card from the SGP Commission.
