Born on 18 February 1992 in Grindsted, Denmark, Michael Jepsen Jensen is a Danish speedway rider who started racing at a young age and quickly progressed to the international level.
In 2012, he became FIM Speedway Under-21 World Champion and later that same season won his first Speedway Grand Prix in Vojens.
Michael has competed in top leagues across Denmark, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Poland, gaining experience in some of the strongest domestic competitions in Europe. He has also been a regular participant in the Speedway Grand Prix series, racing against the world’s leading riders.
After a period away from the highest level — including time in a lower division and seriously considering ending his career — he made the decision to return on his own terms and fully commit to top-level competition once again.
In 2025, he won the Danish Championship and returned to the Speedway Grand Prix series, securing a permanent place for the 2026 season.
Today, he competes internationally, representing clubs across Europe and taking part in both the Speedway European Championship and the Speedway Grand Prix series.
