Sure but as I said in the other thread, there is no remainder of the season from which he is ineligible. World champion is the one with the most points after the final GP.

Agree. As it now, a rider can do whatever he wants in the final round, if the standings are already decided, without getting any further penalties.

Well that is what it says: That doesn't mean that he is not allowed to be wch, only that he cannot ride in the SGP any more this year which does not matter since this was the final GP this season.

It says that he will be ineligible to take place in the rest of this year's championship but that doesn't matter since this was the last GP of this season and even if you remove his points, he is still 4p ahead of Tai,

I've said it many times before but IMO a championship main sponsor that also sponsors a few selected riders might open up suspicions of bias or conflict of interest.

Zengota and Wozniak have signed with Vetlanda

It was indeed nice to see that Lindbäck and Iversen actually got a grip of themselves and finished top 8 and thus saving us from Bjerre.

In today's local newspaper, there was a very nice interview with John "Cowboy" Cook. It is available online but is behind a pay wall though. http://ekuriren.se/sport/1.4463751-legendaren-john-cook-om-livet-doden-och-vm-avslutningen

Seriously, Hampel? Why? Surely Janowski would have been a much better choice?

He has, I read an interview* were he said that he would/might be interested but that he didn't understand why he would have to do the qualifiers when other riders were given wild cards despite not bothering with the GP-qualifiers. Or something along those lines, I don't remember the exact phrasing. *It was this summer and it was probably an interview made by the local newspaper in Eskilstuna.

You forgot sprinting a long distance and then physically abuse another rider by punching him. Repeated bullying of Nicki by Greg and his hang arounds.

Grigorij Laguta is very good rider but I don't think the temporary tracks suits him since he is a bit of a slow gater.

Honestly it would be nice if a non-monster or non-monster hangraround win it next year*. I also still think it is very unsuitable for the championship sponsor to sponsor a few selected riders in the lineup, I don't know if they get any advantages of it but the actual possibility of bias is enough for it to be improper/unsuitable. *the exception would of course be Antonio Lindbäck.

I would. Rather him then Hampel.

...and they were at Kumla last year but not this year.

Two more riders were presented today. http://ekuriren.se/sport/1.4458412-har-ar-smedernas-nasta-nyforvarv Linus Eklöf (12th 500cc season for Smederna) and Pontus Aspgren.

Well what do you expect from a newspaper article? New news?

Doesn't really say that much. No formal decision taken yet whether it will happen or not but it is leaning towards a go for launch according to the local organizer and there is a date set should the competition go ahead. A track construction is underway.

Or what rider you ask. Peter Ljung is on record (Metanolpodden) saying that he thinks that Nicki P and G. Laguta isn't that bad and that they usually give you room. When asked if there is any rider that he don't want to have in the same team, he answers Miedzinski.

Another signing for Smederna. Andrej Karpov have signed a 1 year contract. https://www.facebook.com/ikarossmederna/posts/1154244428002377

Jonas Davidsson will not ride for Piraterna next season. He says himself that Piraterna want to have a top 4 of Greg H, Emil S, Peter Kildemand and N-K Iversen then Davidsson's average would be to hight to fit in. http://corren.se/nyheter/han-raknar-inte-med-piraterna-om4341606.aspx I wonder what the heck Piraterna is thinking (likely they are not thinking at all). They have several times the past years have troubled finances but now they they continue to sign expensive riders as if they would have find their own gold mine. This kind of headless spending needs to stop (that goes for all teams) and the clubs needs to start to go with more home grown riders instead. If I could choose, I would like Elitserien to have 5 Swedish riders and 2 foreign stars / line-up rather then the opposite that we have now,

Smederna have signed Michael Jepsen Jensen. https://www.facebook.com/ikarossmederna/posts/1153448768081943 http://eskilstunasmederna.se/michael-jepsen-jensen/ His season entry average is 1,565 and he have also been named the new team captain.

Gubbängens IP speedway track have been permanently closed. An indoor bandy arena is to be built at Gubbängens IP which means that they have to put asphalt on top of the gravel. http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/motor/speedway/article23716807.ab Gubbängens IP speedway track have been permanently closed.

Tough luck for the Polish teams then. They need to start to learn to respect the other leagues. A national federation shall not and cannot decide when and were foreign riders ride. It is one thing if PZM/Ekstraliga have demands regarding the Polish riders but it is unacceptable if they have the same demands for non-polish riders. I also don't think a practice can trump a meeting, regardless if it is a scheduled or postponed meeting.

I think Stockholm is likely to be on the 23rd given it's past dates and that it likely would be 2 week after Teterow and 2 weeks before Torun. Btw, 10 Sep 2017 is a Sunday, do you predict a rain off?
