Matej Žagar (born April 3, 1983 in Ljubljana, Slovenia) is a Slovenian motorcycle speedway rider who was won Individual Speedway European Champion titles (Senior in 2004 and 2008; Under 19 in 2002). He was permanent speedway rider in 2006 and 2007 Speedway Grand Prix seasons. He was touted as a potential GP wildcard for the 2012 SGP season following impressive and consistent performances in the Polish Extraliga with Gorzow, but turned down the opportunity to replace Darcy Ward due to the 1GP rider in the Extraliga and his contract with Gorzow, where 2010 world champion Tomasz Gollob was signed up. He began his UK career with the Trelawny Tigers in 2003 before moving to the Reading Racers in 2004 when the Tigers closed. He later represented Reading, Swindon and Eastbourne before quitting the UK scene after an underwhelming 2010 campaign. He returned after signing for the Belle Vue Aces in 2013. == Career highlights == * Individual World Championship (Speedway Grand Prix): * * 2003 - 30th place (5 points) * * 2004 - 27th place (8 points) * * 2005 - 16th place (23 points) * * 2006 - 7th place (97 points) * * 2007 - 14th place (54 points) * * 2008 - 20th place (7 points) * * 2009 - 19th place (7 points) * * 2011 - 19th place (14 points) * * 2013 - 7th place (110 points) * * 2014 - 5th place (114 points) * Individual U-21 World Championship: * * 2004 - 6th place (8 points) * * 2004 - track reserve (1 point) * * 2004 - 5th place (10 points) * * 2004 - 3rd place (8 points and 3rd in Final) * Team World Championship (Speedway World Cup): * * ''2001 - 6 points in Preliminary Round 1'' * * ''2002 - 10th-11th place (5 points in Event 3)'' * * ''2003 - 9th place (13 points in Event 2)'' * * ''2004 - 9th-10th place (18 points in Qualifying Round 2)'' * * ''2005 - 9th-10th place (11 points in Qualifying Round 2)'' * * ''2006 - 9th-10th place (17 points in Qualifying Round 2)'' * * ''2007 - 13th-14th place (16 points in Qualifying Round 1)'' * Individual European Championship: * * 2002 - 15th place (4 points) * * 2003 - 4th place (10 points) * * 2004 - European Champion (14+3 points) * * 2006 - 17th place (0 points) * * 2008 - European Champion (14 points) * Individual U-19 European Championship: * * 2000 - 11th place (8 points) * * 2001 - track reserve (2 points) * * 2002 - European Champion (15 points) * European Pairs Championship: * * 2005 - 3rd place (14 points) * * 2006 - 2nd place (11 points) * European Club Champions' Cup: * * 2003 - European Champion (15 points) * * 2004 - 3rd place (20 points) * * ''2006 - 3rd place in Semi-Final (12 points)'' * * ''2007 - 3rd place in Semi-Final (injury)'' * Individual Slovenian Championship: * * 2002 - Slovenian Champion * * 2003 - Slovenian Champion * * 2004 - Slovenian Champion * * 2005 - Slovenian Champion * * 2006 - Slovenian Champion * * 2007 - Slovenian Champion * * 2008 - Slovenian Champion * * 2009 - Slovenian Champion * * 2010 - Slovenian Champion * * 2011 - Slovenian Champion * * 2012 - Slovenian Champion 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Matej Žagar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
