Västervik have sacked Davey Watt for some strange reason, since he actually have increased his average so far.

We already have THJ and Sundström in the GP challenge so I doubt that AJ or Lindgren will get the wild card maybe Kasprzak will get it but the most likely candidate is Harris.

That could cost him dearly. THJ won his final heat and booked his ticket to Italy.

Same injury as earlier this year according to Smederna website. Just great, Smederna have the same "luck" as last season.

I wonder how come it is only Monster sponsored rider who are complaining? Then why are they only complaining about Nicki and not someone like Miedzinski who is far worse then Nicki, If they are so concerned about safety, why don't they make a complaint about the silencers?

Smederna have signed young Polish talent Pawel Przedpelski, he will replace Kjastas Poudzuks. The contract is for the remainder of 2014+2015 and he will be available http://www1.idrottonline.se/SmedernaSpeedwayforening-MotorcykelochSnoskoter/Nyheter/Nyhetsarkiv/PawelPrzedpelskiklarforIkarosSmederna/

See this post: http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=76797&page=4&do=findComment&comment=2467864 Vargarna are definitely below the level that are required but Swedish team also rely sponsors. Next week will be better if the weather is ok

PL teams? Yeah right. I'm sure Laguta, Kildemand, Larsen, PK, Miedzinski... are PL level riders. I agree. I agree that it wasn't a great meeting but the track is definitely not in the middle of nowhere. It is actually located in the outskirts of Norrköping. https://www.google.se/maps/place/Kr%C3%A5kvilan/@58.5945352,16.2420351,1069m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x46593af0a9876c59:0x9158ee8b2b5b3219?hl=sv

Griparna have signed Andrej Karpov and Nike Lunna. http://www.speedwaynyheter.se/allsvenskan/lunna-och-karpov-klara-for-griparna/

No speedway on Friday here, it's midsummers eve.

yeah I agree that the pace is slow but they only have 5 rider teams which i assume means that the riders need a little more time between the heats.

So who's winning?

you are probably correct, this is way before my time and I don't have that much knowledge about it.

Vargarna have signed Jason Doyle, I would guess that he replaces Artem Laguta. Doyle will be available after the transfer window closes. http://www.speedwaynyheter.se/elitserien/doyle-klar-for-vargarna/

They had a rain off two weeks ago, the meeting was moved to yesterday, with poor attendance as well. Vargarna lost that meeting so I assume that many stayed home for that reason.Indianerna had 3200 tonight. though. Spectators statistics; http://ta.svemo.se/Public/Pages/Serie/Audience/AudienceStatistics.aspx?SerieId=590 average so far is just short of 2500.

I don't think they had a track in Norrköping before this one, they used the track in Eskilstuna and Linköping as their home tracks., At least as far as I can understand from a quick reading of Vargarna's history at their website. next week they will show Indianerna-Dackarna and I think that could be very interesting as Sannahed is a very good track.

This track was opened in 1970 I think Varg Olle might have ridden a few years at this track but not for the majority of his career.

Yeah Vargarna have a bit of a problem with attendances. Partially because poor performances from the team and partially because of a few rain offs.

He has done a few good meetings, like last week (albeit from reserve). But he lacks the consistency. Norrköpings track is a bit special though.

Totally rubbish by Smederna.

Yeah very disappointed so far. A really poor performance.by all riders,

Krompa, if R/R, Gapinski+reserves can take Pontus' heats. Vaculik have a higher floating average then Gapinski.

I think it is a bigger problem when the riders go back to the pits between restarts, Like when there are restarts for unsatisfactory start and the riders go back to the pits for 2 minutes. In these cases those riders that does not immediately return to the gate should be excluded. In an Allsvenskan meeting 2 years ago between I think it was Smederna and a team, which I don't remember which it was at the moment, it actually happened in a heat that the referee excluded all 4 riders for not being ready when the 2 minutes expired. *edit I found the correct meeting. It was Örnarna - Ikaros Smederna in Allsvenskan 2012, heat 14. http://ta.svemo.se/Public/Pages/Competition/DrivingSchedule/CompetitionHeatSchema.aspx?Branch=Speedway&Season=2012&Serie=Allsvenskan&Resultfilter=APPROVED&Columns=FromDateShort%2cName%2cHeatSchema%2cHeatResult&pagesize=20&CompetitionId=1279 http://ta.svemo.se/Public/Pages/Competition/DrivingSchedule/CompetitionHeatResult.aspx?Branch=Speedway&Season=2012&Serie=Allsvenskan&Resultfilter=APPROVED&Columns=FromDateShort%2cName%2cHeatSchema%2cHeatResult&pagesize=20&CompetitionId=1279 http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=63303&page=46&do=findComment&comment=2117178
