Career
Ondrašík failed to gain a work permit despite agreeing terms with Reading Racers in 1996.[3] He finally rode in the United Kingdom five years later, for the Trelawny Tigers in the 2001 Premier League,[4] although he had been targeted previously by King's Lynn Stars.[5]
Ondrašík stayed with the Tigers until their closure in 2003. He then spent seasons with Newport Wasps[6] and the Exeter Falcons. His season with the Somerset Rebels was cut short in 2006 after he suffered a broken wrist.[7][8]
In 2000, Ondrašík won the silver medal at the Czech Republic Individual Speedway Championship.[9]
