Benjamin Basso (born 2 July 2001) is a Danish motorcycle speedway rider.
[1][2] Basso, who was a World Youth champion was signed by Poole Pirates during the SGB Championship 2021 season as a replacement for Ondřej Smetana, who had failed to join the team due to travel issues.
The move contributed to a highly successful season for the Pirates as they won the league and Knockout Cup double.
[5][6] The move from Poole to Peterborough upset the Poole managers Matt and Dan Ford because they said that they had assisted Basso with his work permit and arranged a contract around Basso's Danish racing commitments.
[12] In 2024, he signed for King's Lynn Stars[13][14] and won the bronze medal at the 2024 European Under 23 Team Speedway Championship.
