1 Mins read

Former FIM Speedway Grand Prix rider Peter Ljung will make his return to the series in a special one-off as he becomes the only wildcard for the Swedish SGP in Malilla on June 14.

The Swedish international makes his SGP return and brings back his famous #16 race jaked as the competition heads to the G&B Arena race track.

While he hasn’t been taking part in SGP he has been keeping busy, racing for Vastervik in the Swedish Elitserien and Rzeszow in the Polish First Division. Alongside this he has also raced for the newly-promoted Leicester in the British Elite League this season.

Ljung qualified for the 2012 FIM Speedway Grand Prix Series in 2012 and finished 15th overall, he will be looking to prove his worth on his return to the Swedish forests.

Ljung is joined in the meeting by track reserves Linus Sundstrom and Dennis Andersson, who don the #17 and #18 race jackets respectively.

Sundstrom scored six points as the wild card in last year’s Swedish SGP, while Andersson has enjoyed a handful of track reserve appearances.
