Regarding Emil's arm, I've seen comments that it was just dislocated so I can see why someone night mistake that for a broken arm. So initially the involved parties might have thought that arm was broken but it later turned out to be a dislocation.

You gotta wonder if this is the same Antonio that hardly scored a point in the GP-challenge?

Didn't look particular broken?

He has a brother as well. They used to ride in Elitserien too. IIRC one rode for Piraterna and the other fir Rospiggarna.

Superb ride by Lindbäck.

Disagree, had it been the opposite situation. The two faced grin and his "associates" as well as half of the speedway world would have have screamed their throats sore in telling everyone how dirty that was. How many times haven't other riders done the same against Nicki with NP being excluded for it? Piotr didn't intend to push Nicki off but he was too late and the gap wasn't there.

I think the new rules will have many victims but he might get a contract somewhere else.

Peter Ljung will not be offered a new contract for 2016 with Vetlanda. http://www.speedwaynyheter.se/2015/09/19/ljung-far-lamna-elit-vetlanda/

Piotr Pawlicki will replace Tomaz Gollob who is resting after a back surgery.

I think that most of the Polish riders arrives in Sweden via overnight ferry from Gdynia rather than driving via Germany and Denmark. To get to UK they first have to drive through Germany and France before a short hop over the English channel

I think Grigorij have declined and as for Artem, he tried a few years ago and didn't do well, perhaps he was a little inexperienced back then. He also had to skip Cardiff round due to (what was claimed) Visa issues.

First post updated with the current announced rule changed.

Smederna have signed Pawel Przedpelski for two more seasons. http://ikarossmederna.se/pawel-przedpelski-klar-for-tva-nya-ar/ 2015 season info (for archive purposes).

Pawelek is a local rider, finished 2md in the Torun round of SEC this season so I think it is a very good and logical choice, especially since Zmarzlik were a wild card at Gorzow.

Masarna defeated Vargarna in leg 1 of the Allsvenskan final. Masarna have an 8p advantage for next weeks second leg.

That is correct. http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converted.html?iso=20151024T1915&p1=152&p2=136&p3=198

It seems that Andreas Jonsson is one of three parties that have put in a bid on Polonia Bydgoszcz speedway club which is for sale. https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=sv&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsportowefakty.wp.pl%2Fzuzel%2F547680%2Fandreas-jonsson-chce-kupic-polonie-bydgoszcz&edit-text=

Sure we are, bronze in 1994 world cup and 2x gold this year in the men's Euro U21 and Women's Euro U19 (third win since 1999 and second win since 2012). When was the last time England won a medal at football world cup? In Sweden, the admission price is 160-180SEK (£17-19). --- I think that the picture of Swedish speedway in this thread isn't entirely correct. Both Sweden and Poland have issues. In Poland C-towa went bankrupt last year and this year Zielona Gora is on the verge of bankruptcy with large debts. Then two teams fighting for promotion might not take the step up due to costs and/or other matters. In Sweden most Elitserien teams/clubs also have a hard time financially, especially this season where many teams have had many rained off meetings which have costed the teams allot of money. This season we only had 7 teams which meant that each team only had 6 home meetings in the series. For next season it will be 8 teams since Masarna is expected to step up from Allsvenskan to Elitserien for next season. However allot of new rules have been decided about and the biggest difference is that the average cap have been lowered from 10,250 (41) to 9,500 (38). Some of the biggest differences is the structure and organization of Swedish speedway which basically is the same as for all other sports in Sweden. At the top you have Riksidrottsförbundet ->Svemo->League Association/clubs. Svemo is the governing body which handles everything that has to do with speedway, long track, grass/sand track and ice racing, Clubs are not owned by a promoter but by themselves. According to RF rules, the parent club of a incorporated team have to own at least 51% of the shares. Tracks are owned by the clubs or by the kommun. The only exception is Hagfors (Tallhult) which is privately owned. Basically everything goes through Svemo, squad declarations (deadline is December 1st), lineup declarations (deadline is at 8/9pm two days before the meeting), licenses, rules, averages, live results...

Emil have stated several times that he does want to ride in the SGP.

Woffinden will stay with Vetlanda next season: https://twitter.com/SVTSport/status/644243390750683136

Most only seems to care about the team winning and doesn't care if it is poor entertainment. I don't have a link at the moment, but I think Vetlanda's team manager or chairman, earlier this year, said something like that the riders would feel "lost" if they changed the track.

Yeah I think so. The shale is loose and heavy which makes it hard to find the kind of grip that you have on other tracks. It also makes the gating very very important but also very boring to watch. Well I did warn you. Vetlanda is infamous for being a gater's paradise, a track that provides null entertainment. Imo it's the worst track in Sweden with Gislaved in second.

You have to have in mind that the pay grade in Elit-B and Div1 is very low (and set at a fixed rate) from what I have heard. Unlikely that the pay will cover the costs. Regarding travel money, young riders have travel costs as well. Diesel isn't free or cheap just because they are young or because they ride in Div1. ---- Smederna have announced that their two team managers, Jimmy Jansson and Stefan Jarl have signed for next season.

I predict an easy win for Vetlanda, maybe 6-10p in aggregate.
