1983 Speedway World Pairs Championship

The 1983 Speedway World Pairs Championship was the 1983 World Pairs Championship
fourteenth FIM Speedway World Pairs Championship. The final took Previous: 1982 Next: 1984
place on 18 June at theUllevi Stadium in Göteborg, Sweden.

England won their sixth World Pairs Championship after Kenny Carter and Peter Collins scored 25 points. Australia, represented by
Billy Sanders and Gary Guglielmi finished second on 24 points, while the two men who would go on to dominate Motorcycle
Speedway for the next six years,Hans Nielsen and Erik Gundersen, rode Denmark to third place with 19 points.[1]

Heading into Heat 16 of the Final, Billy Sanders was the only unbeaten rider. He won the start from Guglielmi and out of form West
German pair Egon Müller and Karl Maier when he unbelievably fell in turn 2 of the first lap. Although Guglielmi went on to win the
re-run of the heat, the points lost as a result of Sanders exclusion ultimately cost Australia its first (and only) World Pairs
Championship. While Australian referee Sam Bass had no hesitation in excluding Sanders, he had earlier allowed Peter Collins to re-
start after video replays suggested that he fell with no help in the first turn of Heat 10 against Denmark. England went on to a 5-0
score in the heat after Nielsen was excluded from the re-start for falling off his bike over the tapes and Gundersen suffered engine
failure a lap from the flag while leading the race.

Defending championsDennis Sigalos and Bobby Schwartz (USA), who had won the 1982 Pairs Championship at the Liverpool City
Raceway in Sydney, Australia with a maximum score of 30 points, finished fourth with 18 points. The USA had also won the World
Pairs in 1981 with Bruce Penhall and Schwartz.
