SGP2 star Villads Nagel has completed a move to Danish Speedwayligaen side Grindsted for 2025, joining former Speedway GP winner Kenneth Bjerre.
Nagel, who won the silver medal at the 2022 FIM SGP3 Final in Wroclaw at 250c under-16 level, debuted in the FIM Speedway Under-21 World Championship series this season, finishing 14th.
He was part of Slangerup’s Speedwayligaen-winning side this season and now hopes to bring that magic to Grindsted.
Nagel said: “I have chosen to sign with Grindsted for several reasons, among other things that I see really good opportunities to develop myself as a rider in the best way possible in Grindsted.
“The Grindsted team is incredibly professional in their work, and I look forward to a good season there. I'm looking forward to an exciting season and of course we're aiming for medals for the club, and I hope my points can contribute to it.”
Nagel is joined in their colours by former FIM Speedway World Cup winner Bjerre, who extends his stay with Grindsted into a fifth straight year. It will be his eighth campaign with the club in all.
Bjerre, who will serve as team captain, said: “I'm looking forward to another season for Grindsted. I have been riding for the club for a few years now, but I still have the same hunger for the team to go to the finals and fight for medals. It wasn't a hard decision to continue at the club.”
