racers and royals

827 watched in Motala as Piraterna fought out a draw with Vastervik. The track always seems a bit narrow to me which stops really great racing. Not sure if Vastervik will be disappointed in only getting a draw against their weak opponents or pleased they came back from being 8 down going into the 3 nominated races.

New date is Wednesday 28th July - Poznan qualifier is also on that date.

Just watched Vetlanda v Dackarna there looked a decent crowd in- 1782 actually. Zmarzlik raced to a 15 point max but was given a decent race by Doyle in heats 3 and 11. Only Doyle and Janowski got into double figures for the visitors. 987 in Kumla for Indianerna v Smederna thought it was a decent meeting with several good tussles.

Confirmed team news from around 5.30pm UK time and live updates from 6pm tonight Smederna v Lejonen https://ta.svemo.se/Public/Pages/Competition/DrivingSchedule/CompetitionLiveResult.aspx?Branch=Speedway&Columns=CompetitionInfo,Branch,Name,Arena,FromDateShort&Datefilter=Today&pagesize=6&CompetitionId=12458

He can become North Korean if he wants- still won’t alter the fact that he is banned worldwide until January, unless he appeals which he is entitled to do.

Worldwide- the Poles have officially stated he is banned until January.- thanks for the kind words.

2021 and the world is still not back to normal however one thing remains constant - R and R Bookmakers are the worlds top Speedway Bookmaker !!! This is the 9th year of the competition and again there is a prize for the winner. The rounds will come thick and fast in 2021 and for the double GP rounds(Fri/Sat) there will be a new spread done for the 2nd day. this will be a problem for Wroclaw- where i would have been but have decided not to go and instead am spending the weekend away in Swansea !!! I will post the spread for round 1 in Prague on Friday 16th July early next week. For the 2nd year the spread is now under the new scoring rules 1st 20 2nd 18 3rd 16 4th 14 5th 12 6th 11 7th 10 8th 9 9th 8 10th 7 11th 6 12th 5 13th 4 14th 3 15th 2 16th 1 Positions 1st to 4th in the Final Meeting Classification will be according to the result of the Final (Heat 23). Positions 5th to 8th in the Final Meeting Classification will be according to the results from the Semi Finals (Heat 21 & 22). The 2 Riders who finish 3rd in each of the Semi Finals will be 5th and 6th in the Final Meeting Classification, with the higher ranked rider from Intermediate Classification 5th and the lower ranked rider 6th . This rule will apply if both riders complete, or fail to complete the Semi Final. If only one of these riders fail to complete the Semi Final for any reason, he will be placed 6th in the final meeting classification. The 2 Riders who finish 4th in each of the Semi Finals will be 7th and 8th in the Final Meeting Classification, with the higher ranked rider from FIM Speedway Grand Prix World Championship Intermediate Classification 7th and the lower ranked rider 8th . This rule will apply if both riders complete, or fail to complete the Semi Final. If only one of these riders fail to complete the Semi Final for any reason, he will be placed 8th in the final meeting classification. Positions 9th to 18th will be according to the Intermediate Classification after 20 heats. The start amount is £500 with the maximum bet per GP still set at £200.- minimum bet per GP is £50 minimum bet per rider £25 The other bookies are not going to like this initiative and will offer stupid gimmicks for your bets- so i`m getting in 1st !!! 1 On 1 occasion during the season punters will be able to use the " spread stretcher"(SS) to move the spread to their advantage by 1 whole point. 2 On 1 occasion during the season punters will be able to use the " double your money " card( DYM) ( i`m old enough to remember Hughie Green and Monica Rose) when a total bet for that GP can be up to a maximum of £400 I know it`s foolhardy but both bonuses can be used at the same time !!! Rules Each contestant MUST place bets in ALL the rounds -in the event of having no money left they are out of the competition All bets can be edited up to the advertised starting time of the meeting. If a rider is injured before a round starts then the bet is voided on that rider, or bets can be amended up to the meeting start time. If a rider starts a meeting but is injured and cannot continue THE BET STANDS but any points scored by the reserves count towards the injured riders score. If any rider is excluded for a starting offence the reserve points scored do not get added. To ensure fair play bets for the final round may be required to be PM`d to me instead of normal posting. If a meeting is called off at heat 16 then the spread will be adjusted to 4/5th`s of the original. If a meeting is called off at or after 20 heats the spreads stand. HOW TO PLAY One must bet on a rider to score MORE OR LESS than the spread-the HIGHER figure is taken for MORE bets and the LOWER for LESS bets-the mid between the two is what I expect them to score-and they add up to 146 which is the total points available in a GP Example Zmarzlik might have a spread of 15-17 for the 1st GP Player A might bet £100 HIGHER than 17) and he wins so would win (20-17)=3 X £100 = £300. If he finishes 4th he would lose (17-14)=3 X £100 = £300 Player B might bet £100 Lower than 15 and if he finished 8th(15-9 ) = 6X £100 would win £600. If he won the meeting he would lose(20-15) =5 X£100 = £500 If using his "spread stretcher " Player A would move his spread for MORE to 14-16. Player B would move his LESS to 16-18. A final message regarding the 2021 competition to you punters. M more value in 2021 U unique format from the no 1 Bookie G great bonuses S simply the best competition in world speedway

Tickets for Friday are on sale https://bilety.wts.pl/ Saturday is(was) sold out from 2020. I have made the decision not to go, however Wroclaw are saying no refunds will be given for carried over 2020 tickets.

full meeting here https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?v=1147869219021705&ref=watch_permalink heats in question are 4, 18 and 20 and i think there is some coverage to the verbal abuse of the ref. Phil the Aces words about the exclusions are his opinion only !!!

If a rider gets excluded/ef in the semi he gets the lower total ** 7th and 8th are the 4th place riders in the semi`s-the rider who finishes higher in the 20 heat final classification gets the 10 points. If a rider gets excluded/ef in the semi he gets the lower total. Places 9th to 16th are decided by the 20 heat classification.

They need to tell the league

Vastervik`s riding order must be wrong ?? Edit now changed by SVEMO

Shouldn’t think he will be riding for Lodz again as well- totally outclassed last night.
