In-form Michael Jepsen Jensen’s speedway resurgence continues after he won the Danish Championship in Brovst to claim the wild card for the Deluxe Homeart FIM Speedway GP of Denmark – Vojens on September 13.
MJJ secured his first Speedway GP appearance since 2018 by winning the Danish Championship Grand Final ahead of 2024 champion Anders Thomsen, with both riders passing Jonas Knudsen, who finished third, to deny the former SGP2 star a shock Danish title win.
Seven-time Danish champion Niels Kristian Iversen was fourth after crashing out of the second staging of the race. Speedway GP rider Mikkel Michelsen finished fifth.
Victory sees MJJ return to Vojens, where he famously roared past triple world champion Nicki Pedersen to win the FIM Nordic Speedway GP as a wild card in 2012 – a year which also saw him win the FIM Speedway World Cup with Denmark in Malilla and the seven-round FIM Speedway Under-21 World Championship, which climaxed in Argentina.
Jepsen Jensen has been one of the best performers outside of Speedway GP this season and raced to 13 points in the heats in Brovst, bettered only by Knudsen on 14, to book his place in the Grand Final. Despite the Grand Final being restarted twice, with Jepsen Jensen in a commanding lead in the second staging, he held his nerve to overhaul Knudsen in the rerun to claim his first national crown.
MJJ will now join Thomsen and Michelsen in the Deluxe Homeart FIM Speedway GP of Denmark – Vojens – the final round of the 2025 SGP season, staged on a weekend when three world champions will be crowned.
The SGP2 series finale for the FIM Speedway Under-21 World Championship takes place on Friday, September 12 and the FIM SGP4 World Championship for the sport’s 11-13-year-old stars will take place on Saturday, September 13 at 11:00 CEST.
