Career
Rasmus Jensen's career began in the year 2001.[1] His first season in British racing was with Plymouth in 2013;[1] at the end of the season, his official average was 7.[4] At the end of the following 2014 Premier League season, his average was 6.14, and he was in fourth place among the Plymouth Devils riders' averages.[5] Jensen completed 2016 with a 6.14 average[6] and completed 2018 with a 6.59 average.[7]
He spent 2019 with the Second Division club Glasgow Tigers and reached an official average of 8.34, making his average the second highest on the team, behind Craig Cook.[8] In 2019, he won the SGB Championship Pairs partnering Craig Cook, during the SGB Championship 2019 season.[9][10][11][12] Jensen scored a total of three race wins on the night.[13] The Speedway Star stated, "Cami [Brown] also heaped praise on Cookie's race partner Jensen and can be well satisfied that he insisted on chasing his signature during the build-up to the new season last winter.[14]
During 2019, the Premiership club Swindon brought in Jensen following a guest performance.[15][16] He achieved a Premiership average of 7.7, third highest on the team.[17] The Speedway Star rated Rasmus Jensen Premiership "Rider of the Week" and stated, "at this stage the introduction of Jensen must stand as the biggest and best move of 2019."[18]
Jensen re-signed for Swindon in 2020[19] but he chose not be a part of the Glasgow Tigers team in 2020 due to Grand Prix commitments.[20]
Jensen finished in 17th place following just one appearance during the 2022
