Nicki's main sponsor says that they stopped sponsoring the GP-series due to the attacks on Nicki: http://ekstrabladet.dk/sport/anden_sport/motorsport/speedway/hetz-mod-nicki-fik-dansk-sponsor-til-at-traekke-sig/5882390

If you are a lucky, there might be some pre-season meetings (too early to say at the moment) but the regular season doesn't start until the first Tuesday in May.

Weather forecast look good too: http://www.smhi.se/vadret#ort=2671221,Str%C3%B6msund,Str%C3%B6msund,Sverige,63.85/15.583333

Peter Kildemand have signed with Leszno. http://www.fyens.dk/modules/mobile/article?articleid=2913675

A week ago they said it wasn't a problem so I don't know. The two meetings at January 2nd and 3rd are still listed on the club website. http://www8.idrottonline.se/StromsundMC-MotorcykelochSnoskoter/Gastbok/Gastbok/

I don't know but I suspect that it is. It has been a warm autumn and although there will be a few days with subzero temperatures the nearest week and half that will not be enough to make a naturally frozen track.

According to a new article on Sfy (if translation is somewhat correct), the legal matters is also that he is accused of beating and causing injury on someone. 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%2F565680%2Fdwa-postepowania-przeciwko-piotrowi-pawlickiemu&edit-text=

Zenit, Greg H will likely ride for Torun from what I have read.

Correct name is Martin Haarahiltunen (my previous link had it spelled wrong). He is a 24/25-year old from Örnsköldsvik (northern Swedish east coast), It seems that he is a newbie when it comes to ice racing. http://www.allehanda.se/sport/motor/sm-final-vantar-for-haarahiltunen http://www.racemagazine.se/isracing/sm-finalen-mer-oviss-an-nagonsin/ Name is Finnish so probably Finnish parents or grand/grand grand parents. Many Finnish refugees (particular children) came to Sweden during WW2. Then during the 70's a new wave of Finnish immigrants came to Sweden to work in the industry which needed manpower.

That is correct. Next year Piotr Pawlicki will be 22 and Bartosz Zmarzlik will be doing his last season as U21.

R&R quite possible but you also have to have in mind that the riders ride much less meetings in Sweden/Poland compared to UK. In Elitserien (excluding "play offs") there is a potential of 16 meetings / season so compared on a season total the difference is probably smaller then what it might look like if you look at the points money.only.
