racers and royals 8,730 Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) At least if 9 teams compete in 2021 the regular season becomes meaningful, with 6 teams only into the playoffs. Ghostie can we assume they are planning a 8 home 8 away regular season ? Edited November 3, 2020 by racers and royals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would assume that they are planning for different scenarios, of which a full season would be one of the scenarios together with different shortened season/delayed start scenarios.

It will if the Extraleague rule of Poland + 1 other is not altered- not sure GB was necessarily on the horizon as he also has the GP`S and SEC to keep him busy.

No he is correct, it just wasn't clear when I wrote the post above. The information above is from Svemo but ESS have also posted some info, will add it later.

racers and royals 8,730 Posted November 13, 2020 Antonio Lindback has retired. - After riding for 20 years, Antonio Lindbäck says, thank you. Now it's time for a new chapter in my life. After 20 years as an elite rider, I choose to thank for me. I'm done with the speedway sport as a rider. 2020 has been a special year. For my own part has the setbacks have been more than the successes. This has made me think about my future. The answers I received are that I now want to do something else. I am happy and proud of what I have accomplished during my career as a speedway rider. I could hardly have had a better end than the Swedish Championship gold with my mother club Masarna. The Grand Prix winners in Terenzano, Torun and Cardiff are of course banging loudly, as are the two gold medals for Sweden in the team World Cup. Elite League champion in England twice and Swedish Championship gold individually as both junior and senior. Many memorable competitions internationally and at home. I will miss the oval, the smell of methanol and the sound of bicycles being warmed up in the pit. To feel the adrenaline pumping when the tape goes up and not least the audience's cheers when it went well. Speedway has been a big part of my life and will always be close to my heart. Now I look forward to spending time with my family, accompanying the children to training, having a Friday relax, yes all that that belongs to family life. Thanks!

Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Smederna have signed Joel Kling. Quote Han är erkänt snabb på Eskilstuna Motorstadion och tog bland annat individuellt JSM guld där 2018. Nu blir banan i Gröndal Joel Klings hemmaarena. Joel har länge setts som en av Sveriges största talanger och har trots sin ringa ålder en gedigen rutin från Elitserien https://www.eskilstunasmederna.se/article/vguwakhg6-21m61/joel-kling-forstarker-eskilstuna-smederna Edited November 13, 2020 by Ghostwalker ghostwalker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
