Dan Bewley will be back in the 2024 FIM Speedway Grand Prix series as a permanent wild card.
The Maryport racer did not finish in the top six in this season’s series, which finished on Saturday and would have guaranteed him a starting slot.
This year’s Holmgrens Bil FIM Speedway GP of Sweden – Malilla winner Bewley fell just four points short of automatic qualification in seventh spot.
But the riders taking part have just been announced and Bewley gets a wild card berth along with fellow British rider Tai Woffinden a three times GP World champion.
They are joined by three riders making their full-time Speedway GP debuts – Polish shooting star Dominik Kubera; Latvia’s first-ever Speedway GP regular Andzejs Lebedevs and German racer Kai Huckenbeck.
With Czech Republic star Jan Kvech entering the 2024 line-up alongside Lebedevs and Huckenbeck, it means nine countries – Poland, Sweden, Slovakia, Australia, Denmark, Great Britain, Latvia, Germany and Czech Republic will all have full-time representatives.
