Jan Jaroš (born 11 November 1984) is a former motorcycle speedway rider from the Czech Republic.[1][2][3]

Speedway career

Jaroš rode in the top tier of British Speedway riding for Belle Vue Aces during the 2004 Elite League speedway season[4] and Ipswich Witches during the 2006 Elite League speedway season.[5] He also rode in the second division for King's Lynn Stars,[6] making his debut during the 2003 Premier League speedway season but only completed a couple of fixtures for the team that season.[7]

Although he rode for Belle Vue in 2004, he missed out on a place in the King's Lynn team[8] but returned to King's Lynn for the 2005 Premier League speedway season[9] and enjoyed a better season being an ever-present in the team. The following season in 2006 he rode for Ipswich Witches, which turned out to be his last season in British speedway.[10]
