Swedish squads for 2005

[Anders 0]

Update: Tuesday January 18th 2005

What: Correction of some averages for new riders, marked with blue

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Yes, I do know we have a thread called "Swedish league" but I thought this one could be worth a thread of it´s own. Below I list the squads for Elitserien, Allsvenskan and Division 1 with probable starting line-ups.

All starting averages may not be correct however, especially not for those riders that are new to Swedish speedway, such as Schlein, Kujawa, etc. All juniors or reserve league riders with 2.00 (Elitserien), 3.00 (Allsvenskan) and 4.00 (Division 1) are not included.

If you want to build your own line-up, remember that Elitserien and Allsvenskan have a points limit of 43.15.

Thanks Anders..makes interesting reading. And here we are sat back here in the UK not even knowing what the team building averages are likely to be let alone who's going to be in the teams. No wonder riders look at the British Leagues as an inconvenience. If Sweden can do it why can't we?

[shirls 1]

Thanks Anders, i was going to print it off but it came to thirteen pages so i didnt bother. Thanks again for the info though.

[KevH 257]

Yes, as Rabbit and shirls have said, thanks Anders.

 

Just one thing though, could you explain how this "partner team" thing works please?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Most teams sign up a partner team in another division so riders that are on the verge between leagues can either double-up to gain experience in a higher league or double-down to get confidence in a lower league, just like Danny Bird of Reading/Ipswich and Simon Stead of Workington/Wolverhampton to mention a few.

Riders must have a converted Elitserien average of 5.00 or lower to be able to double-up or double-down. This rule only applies to riders with a Swedish license.

[JT 167]

Interesting to see Kujawa is signed up with a team, especially as he doesn't have a bike! (Dawid NoJAWA is his nickname!)

Lets hope his Swedish team buy him a bike (and not one off a team mate that was going to be used until he was good enough to agree to him having it before the ungrateful twerp called it a "training bike" or a fully tuned never bene used GM) and mobile and clearly a rattle and dummy.

No news on Kuciapa on the Indianerna´s website.

 

BTW, Kolodziej is listed on Rospiggarna´s webiste as a squad member for 2005.

[dex01 0]

No news on Kuciapa on the Indianerna´s website.

 

Interesting. I have already checked official as well as unofficial

website and there's nothing on him indeed. Some time ago

Kuciapa said he was going to compete for a place in the team

with Lars Gunnestad.

 

I wrote Indianerna to find out how it looks. We'll see what the say.

[Bandits4eva 1,000]
