Jack Thomas (born 25 April 1999) is a speedway rider from England.[1] [2] [3]

Speedway career

Thomas rides in the top two tiers of British Speedway.[4] In 2019 he rode for the champion Leicester Lions during the SGB Championship 2019.[5] [6]

In 2022, he will ride in the highest league for King's Lynn Stars during the SGB Premiership 2022.[1] [7] He also signed the Oxford Cheetahs for the SGB Championship 2022.[8] The Cheetahs were returning to action after a 14-year absence from British Speedway.[9] [10] His 2022 season came to an early end after he broke both wrists while racing for King's Lynn.[11]

In 2023, he signed for Ipswich Witches for the SGB Premiership 2023 as their rising star[12] and also signed for Poole Pirates for the SGB Championship 2023[13] but suffered serious injuries (including two broken vertebrae and a broken neck) in March practice, which ruled him out for the season.[14]
