Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) Preview for Swedish Elitserien 2014, Round 4. Elit Vetlanda – Piraterna #tv meeting Elit Vetlanda Leon Madsen Bartosz Zmarzlik Jaroslaw Hampel (K) Thomas H Jonasson Tai Woffinden Jacob Thorssell Magnus Karlsson Piraterna Greg Hancock (K) Linus Sundström Darcy Ward Bjarne Pedersen Chris Holder Simon Gustafsson Fredrik Engman race card: http://www.mediafire.com/view/3z5j5ylr422tq16/ES.2014.R4.ElitVetlanda-Piraterna.pdf This weeks tv-meeting (not live on Eurorsport this week due to the French Open in tennis). Elit Vetlanda have started the season with two losses and one win. For this week's meeting Fredrik Staf and Bosse Wirebrand, team managers for Elit Vetlanda, have decided to give Bartosz Zmarzlik the chance at Emil Sajfutdinov's Expense. For Piraterna, Anton Rosén is rested today due to another concussion, Bjarne Pedersen takes his place. Piraterna have a very good team but Elit Vetlanda are very hard to beat, especially when you have in mind that Vetlanda have the excellent gater Jarek Hampel in their team. So I would expect Vetlanda to have the advantage and to win this meeting. Vetlanda's track is quite infamous for it's lack of overtaking so don't expect anything like last weeks meeting. Vargarna – Indianerna Vargarna Martin Vaculik Tomas Gapinski Peter Kildemand Pontus Aspgren Adrian Miedzinski Ricky Kling Daniel Davidsson Billy Forsberg Indianerna Fredrik Lindgren Cameron Woodward Piotr Protasiewicz Piotr Swiderski Niels Kristian Iversen Freddy Godlund Joel Andersson Vargarna won their first meeting of the season, away against Piraterna but have now have two straight losses Vargarna makes one change compared to last week and that is that Billy Forsberg replaces Daniel Davidsson. It was last week that Vargarna announced that the former speedway rider from Norrköping would make a comeback after being away from speedway for almost 5 years. I think that this will be a very close meeting but that Indianerna eventually will win. Västervik – Rospiggarna Västervik Daniel Nermark Peter Ljung Hans Andersen Rune Holta Troy Batchelor Davey Watt Mathias Thörnblom Rospiggarna Andreas Jonsson Jonas Davidsson Mads Korneliussen Timo Lahti Chris Harris Grzegorz Walasek Kim Nilsson This is a very interesting meeting, Västervik are still without a victory so far and Rospiggarna (together with Dackarna are the only undefeated team so far). Västervik is suffering quite allot from Kasprzaks absence and I think they will loose this meeting too. Rospiggarna are really hot at the moment and they have a very strong reserve in Walasek. Ikaros Smederna – Dackarna Ikaros Smederna Grigorij Laguta Oliver Berntzon Peter Karlsson Magnus Zetterström Kenni Larsen Mikkel Michelsen Grzegorz Zengota Dackarna Patryk Dudek Joonas Kylmäkorpi Nicki Pedersen Robin Aspegren Michael Jepsen Jensen Dennis Andersson Alexandr Loktaev Another interesting meeting, Smederna won the first meeting at home against a quite week Västervik but then suffered narrow losses in the next two meetings. Smederna this time faces Dackarna who are in a very good form and will have to be considered favourites. Nicki and MJJ rode fantastically well at the Best Pairs event and will be tough not to crack. Smederna's riders have been a bit to inconsistent (except for Kenni Larsen and Oliver Berntzon) and they haven't managed to perfrom well all at once, which is needed to manage to beat the expected top teams. This time Oliver Berntzon and Magnus Zetterström are moved up to positions #2/#4 due to their good riding as reserves and Michelsen and Zengota is then moved in the other direction. It wil be interesting to see how well Oliver Berntzon can perform at the nr 2 position. I think, unfortunately, Dackarna looks a bit too strong, and I think they will win this meeting as well. Especially since Laguta's gating is far from excellent. Weather forecasts looks good with mostly sunny weather. Edited May 26, 2014 by Ghostwalker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a pointless thing to do. Interestingly he has left Ghostwalkers link intact!!! It is really disgraceful now depriving International fans of notifications, they are not going to be looking in a 'General UK' section for a Swedish match racecard. UPDATE: It's just been point blank removed and not put anywhere else.

If they can`t or won`t we need to find a C more streamer. Yeah i've just had a quick early look at Polish Sopcast and also Wiziwig and currently no sign of a stream to be available. Although the latter often adds one before an hour of an event starting. Edited May 27, 2014 by manchesterpaul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brandonbee48 1,194 Posted May 27, 2014 This is an outrageous state of affairs. All so blokes can get a glimpse of Maria Sharapova's knickers! I'm calling my local congressman and e-mailing Nigel Farage. Regards. Alan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadly that`s it for tonight I fear-seems to be a lack of streamers who stream c more sport Sweden(none I can find)suppose we are very lucky with Poland-I`m going to catch up with the 2nd half of the Zielona match and all of the Torun match I missed. Hopefully the weather will be ok forDenmark tomorrow-Nicki P included. Edited May 27, 2014 by racers and royals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
