Kasper Andersen (born 22 August 1998) is a Danish speedway rider.

Career

[edit]

He rode in the top tier of British Speedway, riding for the King's Lynn Stars in the SGB Premiership 2019.[1] He was unable to race for the Redcar Bears in the SGB Championship 2021 following difficulties over a permit.[2] In a twist of fate however, Andersen was drafted in as a replacement for Coty Garcia at Berwick Bandits, who was stranded in his homeland Argentina since the start of the season due to travel restrictions.[3][4]

In August 2021, Kasper then signed for SGB Premiership team Kings Lynn Stars.[5][6] In 2022, he rode for the Redcar Bears in the SGB Championship 2022.[7]
