Mattia Carpanese born (5 November 1985 in Padova, Italy) is a speedway rider who, in 2007, rode in the UK for the Workington Comets who compete in the Premier League.[1]
Mattia finished runner-up in the Italian Championship in 2005. He was selected as a wild card for the 2006 and 2007 Italian Speedway Grand Prix.
He quit the Comets after a string of injuries on 30 August 2007[2].
On April 20th 2008 it was announced that Carpanese had been signed by Birmingham Brummies as a short term replacement for injured rider James Birkinshaw but was released after 28 days and sent back to Italy. Birmingham promoter Graham Drury said it was because of 'lack of confidence' and the fact Brummies academy rider Jack Roberts was performing better than Carpanese.
