For my team: Kids aged 11 and younger enter for free, while kids/teens aged 12-16 pays 50kr (£5). Ages and prices varies slightly between tracks. Riders are only paid when the ride so I don't think the squad itself costs that much extra.,

I guess you could say that, he have been riding for Indianerna since 2000 and they are the only team he have ridden for in Sweden.

Next week will be the opposite. Vetlanda is one of the worst tracks in Elitserien. Rarely much passing, A typical "Hampel-track" with gate and leader after first bend wins the heat.

i think pepe leon nki emil *edit two right.

Very impressive performance by Indianerna.

Dackarna defeated Västervik with 48-42, Rospiggarna defeated Vargarna with 52-38.

3898 in the attendance in the Småland derby in Målilla between Dackarna and Västervik.

3436 is the attendance in Hallstavik in the meeting between Rospiggarna and Vargarna.

There been have several, including this heat.

Heat 9 in Motala, Oliver Berntzon goes out and shows the back wheel. to Darcy and Simon Gustafsson

I told you so and heat 7 was also very good. Now track grading.

I know from personal experience that when the top guys is replaced by riders of lesser quality those bums seats will be fewer.

Another pretty good heat.

good racing in the first lap.

MP, well Indianerna haven't really performed well either. live results as always at http://www.svemo.se/Speedway Meeting slightly delayed due problem with the start gate.

Rules say all riders with lower average+the rider with the closest higher average. Daniel Davidsson's season entry average is 1.263 which means that Ricky Kling, Pontus Aspgren and Martin Vaculik can take the R/R heats. Either of Kling and Aspgren will have to take two R/R heats.

Well it is the European Championship and I don't see how an Australian Federation can get any allocations? I'm not saying I'm correct or anything but if Schlein has a British license, surely it has to go through British Speedway organisations rather then ACU? I don't know how your system works with British and Australian riders and changing what country the license is licensed by.

Oh the battle of Smederna. MikMik vs. Kenni.

the ACU have no slots in the SEC, Schlein rides on a British license so he somehow must have gotten permission from BSPA?

The conflict between Svemo and the teams have been solved. The teams will break out from Svemo from next season. I don't know any details yet so we'll see where this ends. Personally I am very very sceptical and if you look at the BSPA and how it (not) works I fear that we might see something similar in Sweden. Teams like Vetlanda and Dackarna will push a much higher or completely removed average cap. If you look back the past 10 years you will see that the teams have had quite difficult to agree on for example the averages. Dackarna, Vetlanda and Piraterna wanted a higher cap but teams like Smederna, Valsarna and Vargarna was ok with the lower cap we had last season. http://norrteljetidning.se/sport/1.2495689-tv-braket-lost-och-speedwayen-lamnar-svemo http://www.racemagazine.se/speedway/speedwayen-lamnar-svemo/

Just read in twitter that Cmore's broadcasting bus have arrived in Kumla and they have been let in without any fuss so there will be tv from Sannahed tonight.

I agree and I think this is the problem today that too many are too attached with the "old days" and the riders of that era. Forget those and focus on the next generation of stars; Ward, Woffinden, Sajfutdiov, Holder, Pawlicki,..

Indianerna – Elit Vetlanda #tv meeting (hopefully) Indianerna Fredrik Lindgren (K) Piotr Swiderski Piotr Protasiewicz Cameron Woodward Niels-Kristian Iversen Joel Andersson Freddy Godlund Elit Vetlanda Emil Sayfutdinov Leon Madsen Jaroslaw Hampel (K) Thomas H Jonasson Tai Woffinden Magnus Karlsson Jacob Thorssell Indianerna have lost both their previous meetings and neither Bjerre or Lindbäck have returned from their injuries, Mikael Maxhaven't performed as expected this season and have been replaced by Freddy Godlund. They also chooses to use Piotr Swiderski instead of using r/r for Antonio Lindbäck. Vetlanda are mustering a full team and I expect them to win this fairly easy. Shall we say 42-48? If the meeting is broadcasted and they manage to prepare track good we could be in for a treat as the track is one of the best tracks in Sweden. It is also one of the longest with it's 375m. Weather forecast looks descent, no rain but quite cloudy. Race card: http://www.mediafire.com/view/d9vxtzma3t1vnbh/ES.2014.R3.Indianerna-ElitVetlanda.pdf Dackarna – Västervik Dackarna Nicki Pedersen Dennis Andersson Patryk Dudek Joonas Kylmäkorpi Michael Jepsen Jensen (K) Robin Aspegren Aleksandr Loktaev Västervik Rune Holta Daniel Nermark Troy Batchelor Hans Andersen Peter Ljung (K) Ludvig Lindgren Davey Watt For the first time this season Dackarna bring the best they lineup they can and it is an impressive lineup, With MJJ, Dudek and Loktaev back, Dackarna are clear favourites to win this meeting. Dackarna is one of the two teams that still are undefeated this season. Västervik on the other hand had a tough start in the first round away against Smederna and then had last weeks meeting at home against Piraterna rained off. Kasprzak is still out with the knee injury and won't be back until Prague's GP at the earliest which means that he will miss the next 3 meetings (including this one) for Västervik. Västervik really need to something exceptional if they are to avoid another loss. I think this will be an easy win for Dackarna 52-38. Piraterna – Ikaros Smederna Piraterna Greg Hancock (K) Linus Sundström Chris Holder Anton Rosén Darcy Ward Simon Gustafsson Fredrik Engman Ikaros Smederna Peter Karlsson Kjastas Puodzuks Kenni Larsen Mikkel Michelsen Grzegorz Zengota Oliver Berntzon Magnus Zetterström (K) Piraterna lost a bit surprisingly the open round at home against Vargarna and had their meeting last week rain off. Darcy makes his first meeting for Piraternas squad and Bjarne Pedersen is the one he replaces. With Darcy in the lineup the pressure on the other riders is not as high as in the premiere meeting. Smedernas are without Laguta for this meeting as he is occupied with a meeting in Russia. This means Kjastas Poudzuks is set for his first meeting as a Smederna rider. Missing Laguta is always tough but last season he didn't do particular well in Motala so perhaps Kjastas and the rest of the team can manage get away with a surprise win but imo that is not likely. Piraterna to win with 50-40. Rospiggarna – Vargarna Rospiggarna Andreas Jonsson (K) Jonas Davidsson Chris Harris Mads Korneliussen Grzegorz Walasek Timo Lahti Kim Nilsson Vargarna Martin Vaculik Artem Laguta Tomasz Gapinski Peter Kildemand (K) Daniel Davidsson R/R Adrian Miedzinski Ricky Kling Pontus Aspgren Newcomers Rospiggarna are still undefeated after winning at home against Elit Vetlanda which they followed up with a win away against Indianerna last week. Rospiggarna will meet Vargarna this week who won away against Piraterna in the first round but lost narrowly at home against Dackarna last week. With Daniel Davidsson out and that Rospiggarna's fairly short track is quit tricky I think Rospiggarna will take their third win. Both Vaculik and A. Laguta struggled at Vargarna's track last week and Orionparken is similar, a short technical track.

the conflict between the teams (ESS) and Svemo regarding how to split the tv-money, continues. Basically the teams initially wanted an 80/20 split while Svemo offered a 50-50 split. ESS sent an offer (contents is undisclosed) to Svemo which Svemo have rejected, Svemo also have sent two different offers to ESS, the deadline of those are set to June 30th. http://www.speedwaynyheter.se/elitserien/fortsatt-tv-konflikt/ It is still unknown whether Cmore will be allowed to broadcast from tomorrow's meeting between Indianerna and Elit Vetlanda.

I speaks for itself that you cannot compare someone like Darcy or Emil or Tai or Premyslaw Pawlicki who are at the beginning of their (GP-)careers with riders who have spent 15-20-25 years in the SGP and just as much time as one of the worlds top riders. Comeback 10 years from now and ask the same queation.
