Luboš Tomíček (born 14 March 1986 in Prague, Czech Republic) is a former motorcycle speedway rider from the Czech Republic.[1][2]

Career

Tomíček comes from a 3-generation motorsport family; his grandfather and father Luboš Tomíček Sr. were also professional speedway riders.

In 2003, he made his British league debut after riding four times for Oxford Cheetahs during the 2003 Elite League speedway season.[1] The following season he joined Newcastle Diamonds and rode for them for two seasons.[3]

He returned to Oxford in 2005, spending three seasons with them from 2005 to 2007. In 2007, he reached the final of the 2007 Speedway Under-21 World Championship and won a bronze medal at the Team Speedway Under-21 World Championship.[4]

The following season he appeared in the 2008 Speedway Grand Prix series and signed for Lakeside Hammers, where he helped the team finish second in the 2008 Elite League speedway season.[5]

He won the league with his Prague club in 2012 and had a final season in Britain with the Berwick Bandits but retired after the 2012 season due to private reasons.
