Joseph 'Joe' Screen (born 27 November 1972 in Chesterfield, Derbyshire)[1], is a British international speedway rider who rides for the Belle Vue Aces in the Elite League. Screen also occasionally competes in Grasstrack and Longtrack racing and is a former British Masters champion. He is currently British Number 3 in Grasstrack racing.
[edit] Career history
He started his career with the Belle Vue Aces in 1989 in the top tier of British Speedway and has never ridden at a lower level.
1993 saw Screen become World Under-21 Champion. In 1994 he transferred to the Bradford Dukes, where he spent the next four seasons. A year back at Belle Vue Aces in 1998 was followed by a solitary season with the Hull Vikings. The next four seasons were spent with the Eastbourne Eagles before returning 'home' to Belle Vue in 2003.
Screen made his debut for England in 1991 but did not actually ride for the renamed Great Britain team until 2002.
Screen has twice been British Champion, in 1996 and again in 2004. He rode in the Speedway Grand Prix Series between 1996 until 2001 (had to withdraw after breaking his thigh) and as a Wild Card in the British Grand Prix in 2002.
