Jan Henrik Pedersen (born 27 July 1967) is a former motorcycle speedway rider from Denmark.[1] He earned 3 caps for the Denmark national speedway team.[2]
He is not to be confused with Jan O. Pedersen.
He rode in the top tier of British Speedway, riding for various clubs from 1991 until 2000.[3] He first rode for the Arena Essex Hammers in 1991.[4]
He reached the 1990 Nordic final during the 1990 Individual Speedway World Championship, which was coincidentally won by his namesake Jan O. Pedersen.[5] He was an integral part of the Arena Essex team, for the league winning campaign during the 1991 British League Division Two season.
In 1996 he rode for Reading Racers again.[6] He performed regularly as a heat leader and was a popular Arena Essex stalwart, winning the Essex Championship in 1997. He then finished 2nd in 1998 in the very same tournament, only losing out in a late evening run-off against a top-form Carl Stonehewer. Pedersen signed for Berwick Bandits in 1999[7] before finishing his British leagues career after the 2000 season.
