Kenneth Bjerre Jensen (born 24 May 1984 in Esbjerg, Denmark) is a Danish international motorcycle speedway rider. He earned 17 caps for the Denmark national speedway team.

Career

Bjerre began his Polish league career in 2001 for Ostrów. The following season he began his career in Britain when he joined the Newcastle Diamonds for the 2002 Premier League speedway season. Over the following decade he would become a heat leader for both Belle Vue Aces (2004 to 2006) and Peterborough Panthers (2007 to 2010). In September 2008, during the Speedway Grand Prix Qualification he won the GP Challenge, which ensured that he claimed a permanent slot for the 2009 Grand Prix. During the 2009 Grand Prix series he finished in 8th place, which meant that he retained a permanent rider for the 2010 Grand Prix. His consistency resulted in a 7th place finish in both the 2010 Speedway Grand Prix and 2011 Speedway Grand Prix but he dropped out of the Grand Prix after a disappointing 2012 campaign. He raced in the United Kingdom for Peterborough Panthers and King's Lynn Stars in the Elite League. In 2017, he raced for the Belle Vue and averaged 8.95. The following year he appeared for Leicester Lions before going back to Belle Vue for the 2019 season, in which he became the champion of Denmark after winning the 2019 Danish Individual Speedway Championship.
