Small update for Tuesday. An intense low pressure system with lots of rain is expected to make it's way into southern Sweden late Monday evening and a large part of Tuesday. Hard to know yet exactly where it will hit and how much rain, but all venues for Tuesday are affected. Eskilstuna is expected to receive 21-41 mm of rain on Tuesday. For the televised meeting in Västervik less rain is expected and to stop earlier So given the current forecasts it should be able to go ahead as planned.

Smederna vs Dackarna was very one sidled, not sure what was going with Dackarna. Smederna were really hot from the gate and Dackarna were usually beaten already the first few meters. In a few heats Dackarna had 5-1 from the the tapes but after 1 lap (or less) Smederna had taken to front. Not much racing tonight so the only overtaking that happened was when Smederna sligthly missed the gating and had to work a little to win. The most celebratory that happened is that Anton Jansson scored his first heat win in Elitserien/Bauhausligan. I had to do some research and now that I have checked it tonight's 3p in heat 2 were indeed Anton's first ever in 500cc league racing for Smederna. For those of you who doesnt know who Anton is here is a brief summary. Anton's father is Jimmy Jansson former rider and team manager for Smederna. Jimmy's father (Anton's grandfather / farfar) is Bo Jansson (former speedway rider). Bo's brother was Tommy Jansson (speedway rider, rode for Wimbledon and died in 1976). Tommy's and Bo's father was Joel Jansson (speedway rider). Anton is thereby the 4th generation speedway rider in the Jansson family. Very impressive if I may say so.
