Benjamin Basso (born 2 July 2001) is a Danish motorcycle speedway rider.[1][2]

Speedway career

[edit]

Basso, who was a World Youth champion was signed by Poole Pirates during the SGB Championship 2021 season as a replacement for Ondřej Smetana, who had failed to join the team due to travel issues. The move contributed to a highly successful season for the Pirates as they won the league and Knockout Cup double.[3][4]

In 2022, Basso rode for the Peterborough Panthers in the SGB Premiership 2022 and for the Glasgow Tigers in the SGB Championship 2022.[5][6] The move from Poole to Peterborough upset the Poole managers Matt and Dan Ford because they said that they had assisted Basso with his work permit and arranged a contract around Basso's Danish racing commitments. However Basso stated that the clash of race days was unmanageable.[7] Also in 2022, he finished in 5th place during the World Under-21 Championship in the 2022 SGP2.[8] Also in 2022, he helped SES win the 2022 Danish Super League.[9]

In 2023, Basso re-signed for both Peterborough in the SGB Premiership 2023[10] and Glasgow in the SGB Championship 2023,[11] where he won the league title and the Championship pairs.[12]

In 2024, Basso signed for King's Lynn Stars[13][14] and won the bronze medal at the 2024 European Under 23 Team Speedway Championship.[15]
