Niels Kristian Trochmann Iversen (born 20 June 1982 in Esbjerg, Denmark) is an international motorcycle speedway rider. He was part of the Danish teams that won the Speedway World Cup in 2006, 2008, 20012 and 2014.
Niels-Kristian Trochmann was born 20 June 1982 in Esbjerg, Denmark to Ann Marie and Flemming Iversen. Growing up with older brother Soren, Iversen decided he want to be a speedway rider. His local town Esbjerg had a track where Iversen began to learn his desired trade. Quickly moving up the ranks in Denmark, his first title came in 1994 at the 50cc Danish Individual Championship. Moving up to 80cc in 1997 saw him win his second title at 15 years old. In 1998 Iversen moved up to full size 500cc bikes as he set his sights on a bigger and better future.
British team King's Lynn Stars noticed Iversen and signed him for the last three meetings of the 2001 season. At 20 years old Iversen earned his team silverware as well as individual gold. In 2002 he helped Danish team Holsted to the Division One Championship as well as becoming the Danish U21 Champion for the first time.
Iversen came back to British shores in 2003 with Newport Wasps in the Premier League and was already signed for Holsted in Denmark. For his new British team he topped the averages with an average of 9.13 and 6 maxima, attracting Elite League club Oxford Cheetahs, while Holsted went on to retain their Division One Title. New Oxford team manager Nigel Wagstaff added Iversen to the team for four meetings at the end of the 2003 season and his performances gained him entry to the World U21 Final where he finished sixth. He was selected for the Denmark squad at Speedway World Cup in August 2003: ten points from five rides helped Denmark through to the Grand Final where he and Kenneth Bjerre were replaced.
Iversen signed for Swedish club Vastervik in the Elitserien and Wroclaw in Poland. Nigel Wagstaff's Oxford also signed Iversen for the 2004 season as a full-time Elite League rider, after he had earned a 6.57 point average over 32 meetings the previous year. In Denmark he helped Holsted to a third Division One title in as many years. Once again he was selected for the Speedway World cup where he went one better than his score in the previous year – 11 points including wins over Leigh Adams and Adam Shields. Danish Grand Prix organizers selected Iversen as the Wildcard in Copenhagen on 26 June, taking his chance he reached the semi finals in his first Grand Prix and ended the meeting on 13 points.
