Danish Under 21 Individual Speedway Championship

The Danish Under 21 Individual Speedway Championship (formerly the Junior Championship) is a competition for riders who are under the age of 21, holding a Danish passport and a valid DMU licence.

History

The competition was first staged in 1960 as a Junior Championship and was won by Jorgen Hoffman.[1] From 1960 until 1979 it was only open to riders who had not obtained enough points to become senior riders. From 2002, the format changed to Under 21 for the first time.[2]

Kenneth Bjerre holds the record for most titles with four.[3][4][5][6]
