John Derrick Hole (18 December 1924 – 8 May 2016) was an English motorcycle speedway rider.
[1] Hole, born in Bath, England, began his speedway career after signing for Bristol Bulldogs in 1947.
[4] The following season in 1949, the Bulldogs, which still contained all four family members, sealed a league and National Trophy double.
[8] The Bulldogs withdrew after starting the 1955 season, leaving Hole without a club[9] but in 1956, he signed for Southampton Saints and won another National Trophy that season.
Arguably his standout season as a rider was in the 1960 Provincial Speedway League and on his return to Bristol, where he recorded an impressive 10.00 average.
