I don't know, I'm watching it on Eurosport player with Swedish commentary.

Australia to win.

Yeah, I agree. Me thinks Russia should bring in Grigorij and Sweden PK for the final round in Eskilstuna.

I think the semi teams already have been decided. Australia, Germany, Poland and Denmark.

Looks like it's raining in Landshut.

Not a very good move by Kjastas, Bogdanovs.

Tomorrow's Elit-B meeting in Kumla betweeen, Indianerna, Smederna, Piraterna and Vargarna, have been cancelled due to a waterlogged track. There is no decision yet about a new date for this fixture.

Thomas H Jonasson will temporarily replace Antonio Lindbäck in Masarna until Antonio have recovered from his injury. Griparna arranged an open meeting yesterday called Percy Lundqvist cup but it turned into a farce due to a wet and rainy weather, making the track more like a muddy field then a speedway track. The riders complained, the spectators left well before the meeting was over and eventually the meeting was aborted after 16 heats. Matthias Thörnblom won, Kim NIlsson was second with Magnus "Zorro" Zetterström third.

If you ask me, they should have given given the wild card to someone like Premyzalaw Pawlicki or Patryk Dudek already from the beginning.

brb, need to go and chewck up on my laundry...

No it's not just you. See this post by mp: http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=76346&p=2443435 The KanalSport Graphics team is infamous for the confusing graphics.

Yeah but we do have them in Sweden as well and especially Smederna's speedway school is very popular.

For Dackarna that is about 1200 less then last years average. Obviously I don't have access to the teams budgets but normally an average around 2000-2500 spectators is needed to make it break even since most teams also have allot of sponsors.

Yeah and he wasn't riding today either. So who will replace Darcy? Batchelor rode pretty well today.

care to share some of the spring thing?

Yeah very happy. 56-34 is the final score. Unfortuantely no maximums for neither PK or Kenni. PK was 14 (3,3,2,3) and Kenni was 13 (3.3.3.3.1). Really nice riding by Kenni, PK and Laguta. Zengota was pretty good too with 6+2. The only rider in Smederna who wasn't hot was Michelsen. started well in his first ride and scored a 5-1 with Laguta.But then only managed 2p from his remaining three rides. Vispen was pretty good as well, he did a very nice move on Thörnblom which meant that Vispen passed Thörnblom in the final bend. Zorro was ok but screwed up in heart 9 when he was too late to the restart of the heat and got himself excluded for 2 min violation. Thörnblom also earned himself a big boo in heat 8 where he fell/laid the bike down when Smederna had a 5-1 position. Thörnblom then stayed down but looked several times if Smederna still had a 5-1. We did and he then decided to stay down. He was excluded and also received a 2500SEK (£250) fine for his actions or rather lack of actions.

After 14 heats Smederna 52, Västervik 32. Kenni 11+1 4 heats PK 11 4 heats. Laguta 10 4 heats.

Smederna-Västervik 39-21 after 10 heats. PK & Kenni Larsen are full scorers so far. PK is 9/9 and Kenni Larsen is 6/6. Laguta is 7/9.

Smederna- västervik 21-9 after 5 heats. 26-10 after 6 heats and 30-12 after 8 heats.

@MP, Dackarna track staff is pretty good but it doesn't matter how good they are if the rain does not stop. However I don't if it's raining there or not. There doesn't seems to be any official info regarding the matter although the radar images shows that there is a very light rain over Målilla. At the moment I think there will be racing on all tracks tonight. Also there seems to be some issues with Indianerna's team. the total average seems to be too high. According to Svemo's offical average list which was published after the previous season Freddie Lindgren's average is 1.855 but at the team listing page his average is 1.758 (which includes the play off, play off is not counted when calculating the official average.). A difference of almost 0,1 which would bring Indianerna over the limit by 0,017.

We'll see if it's possible for the meeting to go ahead. It's currently raining in most parts of southern Sweden. The weather forecast says rain from the afternoon so perhaps the rain weather arrived earlier and it will pass in time for the meeting. http://www.smhi.se/vadret/nederbord-molnighet/radar-blixt-sverige-1.27021 http://www.smhi.se/vadret/nederbord-molnighet/radar-norden-1.27049 http://www.smhi.se/vadret/vadret-i-sverige/land/hourByHourTable.do;smhi_ppsessionid=-kh-VJ%2B%2BoslPWFS-Kpuv7%2BDG?starttime=2014-05-06%2007%3A41%3A55&endtime=2014-05-06%2022%3A00%3A00&geonameid=2693049 http://www.yr.no/sted/Sverige/Kalmar/M%C3%A5lilla/time_for_time.html

For 2015 there are three riders with a Swedish license that have entered the qualifications for 2015: Joonas Kylmäkorpi, Joel Nyström and Peter "PK" Karlsson. http://www.svemo.se/sv/Grenar/Speedway/Nyheter/VMKvalLongTrack/

I would assume that Cmore will demand money back from Svemo if there won't be any tv-coverage. What will Svemo do then? They will probably demand the lost money from the teams. I can agree that the clubs should get a bigger piece of the cake but I don't understand what they think that they are going to gain from this?

Lindbäck won't be riding tomorrow. A broken scaphoid bone is said to be the cause.
