Aleš Dryml Jr. (born 19 October 1979) is a former motorcycle speedway rider from the Czech Republic.[1] [2] He earned 23 international caps for the Czech Republic national speedway team.[3]
Dryml and his younger brother Lukáš Dryml were introduced to speedway by their father Aleš Dryml Sr., who was a former international speedway rider.[4]
Dryml came to the British speedway leagues in 2000 when he and his brother Lukáš Dryml joined the Oxford Cheetahs for the 2002 Elite League speedway season. The pair came into the Oxford side relatively unknown because they had only ridden in the Czech Republic and Poland at the time. However, the British Authorities gave them inflated averages of 7.50 and 5.00, which would not help Oxford's 2000 league challenge as they finished second from last.[5]
The following season in 2001, Oxford brought in Leigh Adams as heat leader and retained the Dryml brothers on reduced averages, this combination was a winning one, as the three riders were instrumental in helping Oxford win the 2001 Elite League.[5] After the 2002 season with Oxford, Ales joined the Belle Vue Aces for the 2003 Elite League speedway season but was released so joined the Poole Pirates as a replacement for his brother who had broken his leg. Ales helped Poole finish the season as the league and cup double winners.[6]
In 2004, he joined Peterborough Panthers and would also win his first of four European Pairs Speedway Championships. The other would come in 2007, 2009 and 2010.[7] He also became a permanent rider of 2004 Speedway Grand Prix series.
After the 2005 season with Peterborough he returned to his first club Oxford during 2006 and 2007 but rarely rode as his form dipped.[8] However, he continued to ride in British speedway until the end of the 2014 season with Peterborough where he recorded a strong 7.90 average.[9] He also represented the Czech Republic at the Speedway World Cup from 1999 to 2014.
