Andzejs Lebedevs

Latvia's first-ever Speedway GP rider, Andzejs Lebedevs made his full-time World Championship debut in 2024 after receiving a permanent wild card from the SGP Commission. The Daugavpils-born racer won the 2017 Speedway European Championship, before taking his country to new heights by leading them into the 2021 FIM Speedway of Nations Final in Manchester. He repeated that feat by taking them to a second FIM SON Final at Britain's National Speedway Stadium in 2024. Despite a difficult start to his SGP season in 2024, Lebedevs raced into form, becoming Latvia's first-ever Speedway GP finalist in Vojens on September 14. He then secured his spot in the 2025 Speedway GP series a week later by winning his second Speedway European Championship in Chorzow on September 21. Now Latvia's Speedway GP pioneer bids to take his career to another level.
