Rospiggarna have announced that they have signed Karl Hancock.

Rospiggarna will make an announcement today at 14.00 Swedish time.

Next week Smederna-Dackarna and Piraterna - Indianerna. Second leg a week later.

Smederna just too weak without Tarasenko and Drabik (when the latter is in good form).

Teams are out. Smederna will use R/R for Tarasenko (all can take a ride).

Sam Hagon and Leon Flint are track reserves.

Smederna only needs a draw since they are 2p ahead of Indianerna. With a draw Indianerna will get 2p and Smederna 1p.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him sit out Riga too and only do Vojens and Torun as farewell to SGP.

News from Sweden: Antonio LIndbäck has been cleared for doping charges. The substance found as the medicine he is taking and all TEU:s were in order. He will be cleared to ride as soon as Wada also gives the green light. Philip Hellströms - Bängs is Swedish U21 champion after winning all heats at yesterday's U21 final in Gislaved.

Chris Harris replaces NKI for Vargarna.

Probably RR for Krakowiak in Piraterna

Apparently Laguta didn't clear the medical check before the meeting.

Brennan, Bellego, Smektala and Wojdylo on reserve.... Smederna sort of have an excuse since Joel is their only .500 rider and he has been giving the this meeting off due to that is partner is expecting their second child any day now.

Vargarna have signed Jonas Jeppesen as a replacement for Mateusz Tonder.

Smederna makes a surprise rush start and is 10 p up after 4 heats. Philip Hellström Bängs made a really nice pass of both Lejonen riders to make 5-1 Smederna with Joel taking the win. In heat 4 Tarasenko and Zmarzlik had a good fight for two flaps before Tarasenko pulled away to the win.

Everyone except Tarasenko can do one of Drabik's heat. Can't see Smederna having a chance tonight.

Smederna will use RR for Drabik since Kim Nilsson stil is sick.

Agree, but not many other weeks to choose from since the Olympics starts this week. Event needs to be spread out more, like if the final is in Manchester they qualifying event can be at two other tracks in other parts of the UK so to attract different spectator groups? I also think that SON/SWC needs to be reduced to a biannual event (preferable odd years to avoid clashed with Olympics and Euro/world cup where SON/SWC alternates = if SON next year, then next event is SWC in 2027 and then SON in 2029.

meh, whatever, too many teams and threads to keep track of. This is a Polish news thread so I posted it here.

Philip Hellström-Bängs has signed with polonia bydgoszcz

Smederna hope to be able to use Kim Nilsson at nr3, but it isnt sure if he will be fit for tomorrow since he has been sick for a while. If Kim isn't fit Smederna will use RR for Drabik instead.

Today was the first league racing event at Gotland in 15 years. Bysarna arranges youth cup (85 cc) today and tomorrow. All youth cup events can be viewed live on youtube.

IMO, you will get low crowds where you have it if you are persistent of having all races at the same venue.

Smederna apparently using R/R for MJJ due to personal reasons for MJJ.

Francis Gusts broke a finger a couple of days ago and during his convalescence Vargarna will replace him with Adam Ellis. Vargarna also announces that Mateusz Tonder won't ride more in Sweden this year due to personal reasons so Vargarna will look into replacing him too.
