Coventry Bees Speedway Team have signed former World Under-21 Champion Michael Jepsen Jensen.
The 22-year-old Dane joins next week and promoter Mick Horton said to the Bees website: “This is one of the most exciting signings I have ever made in speedway, and I think it is a true statement of our ambition.
“Without a doubt Michael is at the very top of the list of riders we were looking at, and after discussions with Gary Havelock (manager), and fellow Danes Hans (Andersen) and Kenneth (Hansen) we’re convinced this is the right move to make.
“It’s something we’ve been working hard on for a number of days, it’s been a complex deal and one that had to be right for both Michael and the club and I’m delighted we have achieved that.
“I really hope the fans can see we’re doing everything to put ourselves up at the top, and hopefully they’ll turn out in force to see Michael in action with the rest of the team.”
