Piotr Pawlicki (born 30 November 1994) is a Polish speedway rider.
Born in Leszno, he is the son of former rider Piotr Pawlicki Sr. and the younger brother of Przemysław Pawlicki.[1] He won the Polish Under-21 Championship in 2011 and also competed in the World Under-21 Championship.[1] He rode for his hometown team Unia Leszno in the Speedway Ekstraliga and also for Piła in the Polish second division. In August 2011 he was signed by Coventry Bees and rode for them in the Elite League.[1] He was a reserve at the 2011 Polish Grand Prix at Torun.[1] His 2011 season was ended by a broken wrist sustained while racing in Poland in October.[1]
In 2012 he rode for Poole Pirates as a temporary replacement for the injured Dennis Andersson, coming in on an assessed average of 4.00.[2] Poole wanted him to return in 2013 but decided against signing him after he was given a higher assessed average of 7.00 by the BSPA's independent arbitrator.[3][4] On October 4th 2014, he was crowned as the 2014 U21-Worldchampion in Pardubice, leading the Junior Worldchampionship after three Events in Lonigo, Ostrow and Pardubice.
