ADDITIONAL INFO: Klindt was unveiled as a Wolverhampton signing on 28 August 2007. The hotly-rated Dane had been linked with Poole and Peterborough but, after spending a day with team manager Peter Adams, he agreed to join the Black Country side.
Of course, he had previously ridden in the Wolverhampton side as a guest in the season-opening challenge at Sheffield on 15 March, when he scored 4 points in a narrow 46-44 defeat. Klindt subsequently appeared at Monmore Green on 15 October, when he participated in the Banks's Olympique, scoring 5 points and generally looking a fine prospect in a meeting that was won by Fredrik Lindgren.
His Wolves debut occurred a week later, on 22 October, when he was part of the side that defeated Birmingham 55-38 in the first leg of the BBC West Midland Shield. Two days later, he notched 4 points as the Monmore men forced a 45-45 in the return match at Perry Barr Stadium to take victory on aggregate. Prior to that, there was glory for the Danish youngster on the world stage, when he took victory in the final of the European Under-19 Championship at Czestochowa, Poland on 19 August.
The meeting saw him race to a 14-point haul to finish ahead of Jurica Pavlic and Filip Sitera on the rostrum. He also battled through to the final of the European Championship, scoring 5 points in the big event at Wiener-Neustadt, Austria on 29 September.
The Dane had first appeared in the UK as a sixteen-year-old in 2005, carding a 5-point tally in the Young Guns Championship at Poole on 3 August. He went on to ride in the Scottish Open at Edinburgh, where he accrued a fine 7 points. Team honours came his way when he helped Fredericia to the Division One Championship in Denmark.
And, in the World Under-21 Team Cup Final, he registered 5 points as Denmark finished in third position, behind winners Poland and second placed Sweden. In 2006, he again appeared for Denmark in the final of the World Under-21 Team Cup and gave a brilliant display to top-score with 12 points, as his nation replicated their third place finish of the season before, behind Poland and Sweden. Klindt took victory in the Danish Under-21 Championship at Holstebro on 12 August in a meeting that was curtailed by heavy rain.
He had been due to face Patrick Hougaard, Kenneth Hansen and Klaus Jacobsen in the ‘A' Final to determine the outcome, however, a crash in the preceding ‘B' Final brought the event to a premature end. Klindt was deservedly declared the Champion because he had topped the scoring in the qualifying heats on 14 points. The year also saw Klindt make another trip to Britain, when he represented the Rest of the World in a challenge match at Swindon on 19 October.
The young Danish star is certainly a rider for the future and is tipped by many to be a Grand Prix regular in the coming years. He represented Wolverhampton for a second full season in 2009 and another term of progression culminated in the Black Country side scooping the Elite League Championship after defeating Swindon in the Play-Off final.
And, at the end of November, his efforts were rewarded when the Wolves' management named him in their starting side for 2010.
