Career
editAfter winning the 1992 Danish Under 21 Individual Speedway Championship, Pedersen was signed by Peterborough Panthers to ride late in the 1993 British League Division Two season.[5] The following season he rose to third in the Peterborough averages and in his debut season in the top tier of British speedway (the 1995 Premier League speedway season) he averaged 6.53.[6][7]
Pedersen missed the 1996 British season after breaking his leg while playing football.[8] On his return to Britain he only rode a handful of matches over the following two seasons.
