[edit] Career biography

Nicholls began his speedway career in grass-track racing becoming National Schoolboy champion in 1993. His first international appearance came in 1996 when he was selected to ride for Great Britain in the World Team Cup final. He then became British Under-21 champion in 1998.

His first experience of the Speedway Grand Prix series came with a wild card ride in Britain, with similar rides following in 2000 and 2001. He qualified as a full time GP rider in 2002 and capped that season with a second place in the season ending event in Australia. That year he also won his first of three (as of the end of the 2006 season) British championships.
