Suchánek first rode in the United Kingdom for the King's Lynn Stars in the Premier League in 2003.[4]
He narrowly lost out on becoming the 2005 Speedway Under-21 World Champion after the meeting was stopped early after just 12 heats due to heavy rain and dangerous track conditions.[5][6] Suchánek and Krzysztof Kasprzak both finished on 8 points after three rides and Kasprzak was declared the winner after coin flipping.[7]
Suchánek is a Czech international, representing them in the Speedway World Cup in 2005 and 2006.[8]
In 2006, he signed for Redcar Bears but his season was ended in September after he broke his leg riding for ZP Pardubice in a Czech Republic league match.[9]
In 2008, he signed for the Reading Racers,[4] before returning to Redcar Bears in 2010.[10]
