I always thought that UK tracks had allot of dirt.

Screamer, judging from what I have seen of KL (SWC) I wouldn't say that is the same level as Moto Arena Torun. Haven't seen much of the other three, possible a SWC semi at PB a few years ago which was pretty good. Then Torun is not only a good track but a very good arena, probably the best track/arena in the world.

That has all changed now since Tai suddenly have found good speed and now has two straight wins and 8p which could be enough for semi final. I think Tai will take the bronze now.

Congratulation to the third title Greg.

Why? Freddie's exclusion was correct. He was too hot. Had it been Nicki there would have 50 pages already with hateful comments regarding how a dirty move was from Nicki. All 4 back would just be "exploited"/miss-used be the referees. --- That was a superb ride by Smederna's Przedpelski

I don't remember exactly what the agreement between BSI/SGP/FIM - OneSp/SEC/FIm Eur,says but there was something that SEC agreed to not give wild cards to permanent SGP-riders. This would means that if Tai wants to ride in the SEC, he have to qualify via the SEC qualifiers.

1. Actually you are nor correct here. Rider name at #50 is Robert Pettersson, while the rider name at #57 is Robert Peterson. I don't know if it is the same rider or different riders. 2. I Have no idea but I have sent out some inquiries.

if a FIA would be too lenient, then WADA probably would become involved since it was violation of Wada's anti-doping rules.

No that will be Melbourne.

Yes and no. There won't be a completely new thread but like previous seasons I'll just change the bits and pieces in this thread that needs changing. 2014 season rules/teams & etc for archive purposes. 2014 rules: 2014 Elitserien teams: Allsvenskan 2014 teams/Fixtures: Division 1 2014 2014 Individual Swedish championship

It seems that Finnish rider Timo Lahti will be riding on a Swedish license next year. The reason to this is that Rosiggarna now can use him as one their three mandatory Swedish riders per lineup. Obviously it is very good for Lahti and for Rospiggarna but if you look at it from the perspective of Swedish speedway, Timo is taking a place that would otherwise have gone to a Swedish rider. http://www.speedwaynyheter.se/rospiggarna/lahti-kvar-i-rospiggarna-pa-svensk-licens/

I have to disagree with that. At least in Sweden, swimming gets pretty good coverage between the Olympics. The various championships are usually aired live on tv..

Sannahed (Kumla) is a very good track.

How do you define the 15 best riders in the world? How do you know that the riders placed 9 or worse in the total standings are better then those currently outside the Grand Prix series? You cannot possible know until the latter too have been awarded a wild card to the GP-series. How do you know that THJ would do worse then Freddie in a full season in the GP-series? As for criterias, one criteria is how many wild card that rider have received before and the more wild card picks the further down the pecking order the rider should be. I think it's 5 wc now for Freddie, another criteria is performance in the speedway world cup. Freddie boycotted the SWC. If he can't bother to do the SWC he should not be considered for a SGP pick either (unless the rider were injured). Then we can look at what the rider have achieved in the SGP; how many seasons in the SGP, how many times the rider have finished top 8. Which means amount of top 8 finishes in relation to number of seasons in the SGP. Then no rider should be handed a wild card for two years in a row, unless that riders have suffered long time injuries resulting in that rider Imo a rider have to take the chances he is given, a rider should not have unlimited amount of wild cards. 5 is 1 or 2 too many. What are your motivation to give Freddie another wild card?

No way Freddie Lindgren can be justified to get another wild card. He had way to many already and have only managed to be top 8 once.

No it's not. It's like a longer version of Vetlanda's track.

No there isn't.

There is only one way to find out. I think the GP-series have stagnated and probably needs a set of new faces. If Jonsson and/or Lindgren misses out on top 8, I think it won't do them any harm to sit out a year. Especially Freddie who notoriously have been relying on wild cards (with 2 exceptions) so I think he have had enough wild cards already. So if either or both of AJ and FL is outside top 8, I say let Thomas H Jonasson have a go as a permanent wild card, after all he had very good performance in thus years SWC and was only 1p from qualifying in Lonigo.

Bavarian, he should be punished because he broke the FIM & Wada anti-doping rules. Patryk Dudek got suspended from all speedway for 12 months for violating the same rules so Darcy should be punished in the same way.
