Benjamin Basso (born 2 July 2001) is a motorcycle speedway rider from Denmark. [1] [2]
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, he rode for the Peterborough Panthers in the SGB Premiership 2022 and for the Glasgow Tigers in the SGB Championship 2022. [5] 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. [6] Also in 2022, he finished in 5th place during the World Under-21 Championship in the 2022 SGP2. [7] Also in 2022, he helped SES win the 2022 Danish Super League. [8]
In 2023, he re-signed for both Peterborough in the SGB Premiership 2023 [9] and Glasgow in the SGB Championship 2023, [10] where he won the league title and the Championship pairs. [11]
In 2024, he signed for King's Lynn Stars. [12]
