What? Why and where did you read that?

Valsarna have decided to contract Thomas H Jonasson as replacement for Nermark. http://www.svt.se/nyheter/regionalt/varmlandsnytt/valsarna-varvar-succeforare

He is expected to be away from speedway for another 3-4 weeks.

OK, it was probably a miss-translation by google then. It seems that Unibax Torun is for sale? https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pomorska.pl%2Fapps%2Fpbcs.dll%2Farticle%3FAID%3D%2F20140731%2FZUZEL92%2F140739874&sandbox=1

Kenni Larsen participation in the Danish champ. is quite uncertain. He had a crash a little over a week ago and still suffers from a concussion.

Nope I haven't heard or read anything for several weeks, in best of cases he'll be back against Smederna's away meeting against Indianerna on the 12th of August but I don't count on it.

not very good racing tonight, gating was too important tonight, except for Laguta's pass in this heat. Probably riders protesting against Gdansk not paying what they owe the riders. THJ refused to ride and a couple of years ago Gdansk didn't pay Billy Forsberg either, ultimately leading to Billy retiring, although he have made a comeback this season.

Hey Pawel.

According to Sportowefakty, THJ refuses to ride for Gdansk since they owe him money, it also says that today's meeting is attended by less then 1000 spectators.

I guess it has to be in the beginning or in the end of the season. If there will be a GP in NZ next year as well then NZ and AUS Gp has to be on the same "trip". So that the riders does not have to spend lots of money twice to get them and their equipment down there.

All 4 riders either currently rides in Sweden or previously have ridden in Sweden. Tai is riding for Vetlanda, Chris Harris is riding for Rospiggarna. Daniel King have previously been riding for Smederna, Vargarna, Dackarna and Västervik. I don't remember which teams Stead rode for but I think it was Indianerna and possible Vargarna.

So you mean that the track in Kings Lynn wasn't prepared to suite the British team?

The results from the qualifying event which was held in Mariestad today: 1. Maksymilian Bogdanowicz 14 (32333) 2. Rasmus Broberg 14 (33332) 3. Oskar Karlsson 14 (21333) 4. Johan Jensen 10 (13222) 5. Joel Kling 8 (03113) 6. Martin Liljekvist (01223) 7. Johannes Stark 8 (2213FX) 8. Jonas Engdahl 7+3 (00322+3) reserves: 9. Oskar Thulin 7+2 poäng (33100+2) 10. Adrian Bergqvist 7+1 poäng (2122X+1) full result at: http://www.speedwaynyheter.se/jsm/jsm-kval-bogdanowicz-vinnare-i-mariestad/

Poland have "always" had large crowds but this year most of the Polish GPs+SWC have had poor crowds. The conflict between BSI and One sport have probably something do with although it probably isn't the entire reason.

yes. It is.

You were saying? Fantastic racing so far.

They have not fallen out of favour. MJJ have been injured and his form is not very good at the moment, the same goes for Mikkel Bech who have been struggling all year in finding his form.

http://www.speedwaynyheter.se/allsvenskan/nermark-tar-time-out/ Daniel Nermark have decided to take a time out from speedway. He had a very poor during the first half of the season and was sacked by his Elitserien team Västervik in the mid-season transfer window. He has since only been riding for his local Division 1 team but with poor results.

Where do you draw the limit (distance between fore most point of front wheel) between being in front and not being in front? 1cm? 10cm? 100cm?

I think it is a tough call, we saw last season in what happens when a rider (Miedzinski) decides to fence another rider (Emil Sajfutdinov). Very dangerous and I don't know about you but I would prefer to see passings rather then blockings. Speedway is a very fast sport were riders usually are very close to each other. A rider decides to pass on the outside when there is a gap, a second later he is moving in to the gap at the same time the other rider decides to block the passing rider. Then we have a collision, why should the passing rider back off? Why shouldn't the blocking rider keep a gap on the outside? It is just as much his fault as the passing rider's fault. The sooner we ban these blocking, the sooner the sport will be safer and more exciting.

nail in the coffin there.

As I wrote yesterday, Freddie have stated that as long as one of the current team managers for the national team have his position, he won't ride for the national team. This also means that Freddie have not been picked for the SEC/SGP qualifications and if Freddie want to be in the SGP next season, he once more have to rely on a wild card.

NC + Polsat Sport and Eurosport, are all interested in buying the broadcasting rights for the Polish Ekstraliga. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=sv&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sportowefakty.pl%2Fzuzel%2F456934%2Fbedzie-konkurs-ofert-na-prawa-telewizyjne-do-enea-ekstraligi

You should have read the entire post.

He said in a statement that he won't ride for Sweden due to one of the team managers, but he did not specify further want he meant.
