Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) Preliminary line-ups for Elitserien round 8Weather looks ok for all tracks, possibly a few drops at Vetlanda and Målilla.Vetlanda - Indianerna will be the focus meeting.Vetlanda - Indianerna (46-44) Vetlanda Artem Laguta Tomas H Jonasson Leon Madsen Brady Kurtz Bartosz Zmarzlik Filip Hjelmland Robert Miskowiak Kumla Indianerna Bjarne Pedersen Vaclav Milik Kenneth Bjerre Piotr Protasiewicz Anders Thomsen Victor Palovaara Ludvig Lindgren Somehow Bjarne is still picked despite poor results. Rospiggarna - Masarna (51-39)Rospiggarna Jason Doyle Max Fricke Robert Lambert Jacob Thorssell Andreas Jonsson Tero Aarnio Samuel Masters Masarna Linus Sundström Kim Nilsson Tai Woffinden Artur Czaja Antonio Lindbäck Emil Millberg Joel Andersson Pawlicki is missing but Tai is listed, not sure if this is what they will show up with unless Tai has been paid. Pawlicki was awful yesterday at Hallstavik though so Masarna are probably better off without him. Smederna - Lejonen (44-46) Eskilstuna Smederna Fredrik Lindgren Krzysztof Buczkowski Michael Jepsen Jensen Mikkel Michelsen Niels Kristian Iversen Pontus Aspgren Linus Eklöf Lejonen Jarek Hampel Maksym Drabik Chris Holder Kasper Woryna Rohan Tungate Mathias Thörnblom Timo Lahti Lebedevs have struggled and is now replaced by Michelsen. Smederna also gives Eklöf a chance to prove himself. I am not sure why Piotr Pawlicki isn't riding.Dackarna - Västervik (45-45)Dackarna Greg Hancock Hans Andersen Pawel Przedpelski Patryk Dudek Maciej Janowski Oliver Bernstzon Joel Kling Västervik Nicki Pedersen Grzegorz Zengota Peter Ljung Bartosz Smektala Peter Kildemand Anton Karlsson Mikkel Bech Live streaming at: https://www.speedwayplay.com/elitspeedway Live results as always athttp://www.svemo.se/sv/Grenar/Speedway/http://www.elitspeedway.com/liveresultat/https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/live/zuzel/elitserien Elitserien can also be followed at https://sverigesradio.se/sida/gruppsida.aspx?programid=179&grupp=7514 (web radio) Heat schedule: http://www.svemo.se/ImageVaultFiles/id_14025/cf_44/K-rschema_2-15.PDF Edited July 8, 2018 by Ghostwalker 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah Vetlanda should win easily and no the track is usually really poor. It's a very heavy track with lots of loose dirt/sand/gravel on top. Ask @racers and royals about it. He'll tell you that I always complain about the Vetlanda track. Edited July 9, 2018 by Ghostwalker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boy does he go on about it and i fully agree with him. Zmarzlik even struggles to pass round there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Also the news about Tai is that a sponsor have paid the money Tai was owed and that means that he will ride tomorrow. Przemyslaw Pawlicki likely suffered a concussion in last week's meeting and have decided to sit out this week's meeting.

Col 854 Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Vetlanda won the title with Woffinden, Zmarzlik & Saufutindov a few years ago when Elitserien was on Eurosport? If so that track is terrible, agree. Edited July 9, 2018 by Col Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Col 854 Posted July 9, 2018 That long ago. Times flies. I doubt the Vetlanda track is as bad as the Leicester track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
