Triple Danish champion Anders Thomsen returns to the FIM Speedway Grand Prix stage for his home event – the Deluxe Homeart FIM Speedway GP of Denmark – Vojens on September 14.

The Odense-born ace dons the famous No.16 race jacket for the penultimate round of the Speedway GP season on his Speedwayligaen home track.

Thomsen competes for Vojens club Sønderjylland Elite Speedway alongside Speedway GP rival Leon Madsen, but it will be every Dane for himself when the SGP series returns to one of its most storied venues.

Thomsen missed out on a Speedway GP return for this season after suffering a hand injury at the 2023 OlyBet FIM Speedway GP of Latvia – Riga, which ruled him out of the final three rounds of last year and left him 15th in the Speedway GP World Championship on 36 points.

This cost him his place in the 2023 Deluxe Homeart FIM Danish Speedway GP, so he will be determined to make the most of his chance to shine in 2024 as he bids to emulate Madsen’s popular home win at Vojens last season.

The 30-year-old has also shown he is more than capable of delivering big results on the sport’s biggest stage, famously winning the 2022 FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Gorzow on his PGE Ekstraliga home track.
