The 2023 SGP2 series was the 47th edition of the FIM Individual Under-21 World Championship. It was staged as the SGP2 class of the FIM Speedway Grand Prix series after rights holders Discovery Sports Events took over promotional rights of the competition in 2022.[1][2]
The three qualifying rounds were staged at Krško, Pardubice and Vojens on 20 May. Four qualifiers from each qualifying heat progressed to the main event.[3] Three wildcards were chosen for the main event, in addition to the 12 qualifiers; they were Mathias Pollestad, Anže Grmek and Petr Chlupáč.[4]
Poland's Mateusz Cierniak won the title for the second season running, becoming only the fourth rider to win multiple Under-21 World Championship titles after Emil Sayfutdinov, Darcy Ward and Maksym Drabik. Damian Ratajczak took second with Bartłomiej Kowalski completing an all-Polish podium.
The 2023 season consisted of three qualifying events. Emil Breum, Keynan Rew and Esben Hjerrild won the qualifying rounds.[5][6]
In addition to the 12 qualifiers, Anže Grmek, Mathias Pollestad and Petr Chlupáč were named as series wildcards.[7]
