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]
