Career highlights

He made his full SGP debut in 2005 finishing 10th both in that season and the subsequent 2006 championship.

Prior to the final 2007 Speedway Grand Prix round in Gelsenkirchen, it was announced that Lindbäck had decided to retire from speedway. But in 2008, Lindbäck was deciding to return to speedway, starting in the second league in Sweden. He continued his professional career in 2009.

Lindbäck won his first Grand Prix in the 2012 Speedway Grand Prix of Italy in Terenzano.[3][4]

Current clubs

At the end of the 2007 season Antonio Lindbäck announced that he retired, but made a quick comeback competing for Vargarna in the Swedish second division allsvenskan and he was a major force in bringing the club to the playoff finale. Before the start of the 2009 season he moved to another club called Piraterna.[5] He is also included in the Swedish national team.[6]

Lindbäck qualified for the 2012 Speedway Grand Prix via the Grand Prix Challenge.
