1975 Individual Speedway World Championship

The 1975 Individual Speedway World Championship was the 30th edition of the official World Championship to determine the world champion rider.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Ole Olsen won his second World title in front of 81,000 at Wembley Stadium in London with a 15 point maximum from his five rides. Defending champion Anders Michanek finished second and England's John Louis won the run-off for the bronze medal, defeating four time world champion Ivan Mauger. Some criticism was aimed at the track surface which was described as dusty and dry.[7]
