Jan Pedersen (born 27 July 1967) is a former motorcycle speedway rider from Denmark.[1] He is not to be confused with Jan O. Pedersen.
Career
He rode in the top tier of British Speedway, riding for various clubs from 1991 until 2000.[2]
He reached the 1990 Nordic final during the 1990 Individual Speedway World Championship, which was coincidentally won by his namesake Jan O. Pedersen.[3]
He performed regularly as a heat leader and was a popular Arena Essex stalwart, winning the Essex Championship in 1997. He then finished 2nd in 1998 in the very same tournament, only losing out in a late evening run-off against a top-form Carl Stonehewer.
He was an integral part of the Arena Essex team, for the league winning campaign during the 1991 British League Division Two season.
