Yeah it is very hard to loose a rider during the meeting. The issue also seems to have been the lack of gate after heat 8 since they had to start by light. Apparently it didn't work very well. Lots of restarts due to unsatisfactory start,some riders deliberately jumped the start (and apparently got away with it) others were playing it safe. I've said it before and I'll say it again. The introduction of transponder in speedway are long overdue.

Possible live stream on Thursday. http://malmotv.cleeng.com/gnistorna-vastervik/E310789558_SE

Indianerna-Dackarna is next week's televised meeting.

Delayed due to technical errors with the gate.

Works for me.

Reserves can replace any of the other riders at any time BUT they are restricted to max 6 heats each and they also have to ride in at least three of their scheduled heats. Positions are also not permanently fixed for an entire season so KK will only do another 6 heats until his floating average will become official at which he will move up to a 1-5 position and Kim Nilsson or Kylmäkorpi will be moved down depending on who's floating average is the lowest, From what's been communicated,the aim is to field a line-up that is as strong as possible both home and away but for a few selected meetings that they in advance don't see themselves winning, they opt to rest Zagar and Laguta. Michelsen and Przedpelski was really bad last week so they opted for Lebedevs instead of Pawelek this week.

How many go through?

In 2014 he was given a freebie pass over allot of other higher ranked riders because ´"he was nearby", I don't think he would be given the same benefit this year. @f-s-p, that's correct the challenge is held at Vetlanda.

The Danish riders who have qualified are: Frederik Jakobsen Fjelsted Andreas Lyager Slangerup Patrick Hansen Glumsø Mikkel B Andersen Brovst Emil Grøndal have been awarded a wild card. Don't know which rider who will ride where though.

At the moment, none. TV2 Danmark might show the two individual Danish championship finals and the league final.

As mentioned before the Swedish riders will be Christoffer Selvin, Alex Johansson and Joel Kling

It seems I made the right choice then, choosing icehockey on the tv (Sweden is currently 4-1 up against Denmark) over the speedway.

You mean pretty much like every other professional league sports player/rider/athlete, who will play/ride for whoever offers the biggest paycheck?

No official coverage as far as I know but check this thread for more info: http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=81163

I've seen some conflicting results. Which one is the correct? Espeedway have Sundström as 8th with Thomesen 9th while Sportowefakty have Sundström as 9th with Thomesen 8th. Then Sportowefakty have Vaculik 5th, THJ 6th and Lebedevs 7th. Espeedway on the other hand have THJ 5th and Vaculik 6th. Which one is correct? Accordingt o Spfy there have been two run offs, for 2nd place and for 8th. So I assume spfy is the correct? Run-offs resulted in 02. Bech 11+3 03. Lahti 11+2 04. Karpov 11+1 08. Thomesen 8+3 09. Sundström 8+2 10. Tarasenko 8+1 http://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/wydarzenie/60476 http://www.live.espeedway.pl/race_detail.php?id=5067

Theoretically he might be given a wild card to the GP challenge final in Vetlanda so he still might have a chance to qualify.

Good to see THJ doing well. Harris will pull off a miracle in his 5th heat to somehow sneak into the semi finals.

For a few a years there have been sn agreement in place between the clubs to use a minimum of three Swedish riders/line-up, previous years Swedish have been = Swedish license but for this season it was changed so that Swedish is = Swedish passport. However in the first round Rospiggarna disregarded that agreement and used Timo Lahti instead of a third Swedish rider Swedish Elite Speedway association (Ess) will likely give Rospiggarna a 25'000 fine for beaching the agreement. Ultimately, this kind of behavior of circumventing / ignoring agreements might lead to the agreement of minimum three Swedish riders / line-up being scrapped. http://www.vetlandaposten.se/article/svenskregeln-kan-skrotas/

It is almost the same at Eskilstuna, the start/finish line is very early on the straight.

See link in first post.

Yeah that's correct.

17+1 for Kasprzak tonight. Masarna have won.

Masarna up by 6p after 10 heats. Can't see Smederna turn this around. Michelsen and Przedpelski rubbish for Smederna kasprzak is max so far with 11+1. Laguta and Zagar good for Smederna.

Up and down and down and up. 4 straight 5-1, two for each team makes it 21-21 after 7 heats.
