1985 Danish speedway season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1985 Danish speedway season was the 1985 season of motorcycle speedway in Denmark.[1] The season was the last season before a new professional league was introduced called the Danish Superliga. Previously the league consisted of multiple amateur teams and Danish speedway suffered from the fact that many of their top professional riders chose not to race in Denmark.[2]
Danish Final (world championship round)
Seven riders from the Danish final would progress to the Nordic Final as part of the 1985 Individual Speedway World Championship. The final was held on 5 May at Brovst and was won by Hans Nielsen.[3][4]
