italy out, Germany in?

I don't know only one confirmed so far.

I would guess though that Emil knows the track better though compared to Tai?

either Timo Lahti as WC with Kalle Katajisto and Kauko Nieminen as track reserves. or Joonas Kylmäkorpi as WC with Lahti and Nieminen as track reserves.

That actually requires both of them to want to be in the series.

Now that the series are done for this year, it is nice to take a look at the statistics. Imo Sportowefakty has the best statistics page. http://www.sportowef...statystyki/2013 Take a look at the Dom (at home) category and you can see that Grigorij Laguta is the best home rider, with an average of 2.700p/heat, Jarek is 2nd with 2,667 and Darcy is 3rd with 2,615. 2.7/heat is 10.8 from 4 rides, 13.5 from 5, 16,2 from 6 and 18,9 from 7 rides. Sportowefaktys overall list is topped by Darcy, Holder, Greg, Jarek and Grigorij. The official list looks a bit different due to that it does not include bonus. http://www.svemo.se/...3/Rankinglista/

first post updated with official lineups. They can also be found here: http://www.svemo.se/sv/Grenar/Speedway/Nyheter/SMHelgiVetlanda/

yep, not to be confused with the lovely Danish tennis Player Caroline Wozniacki.

yes that is correct.

Elitserien QFs, leg 1: Ikaros Smederna - Indianerna, Tue Aug 20th Västervik - Elit Vetlanda, Tue Aug 20th #TV meeting# The other meeting will also be shown but with much less focus then the main tv meeting.

Pirates needs 8 points from the final 3 heats to secure the league win. heat 13, a really great heat. Nicki gates but Jonas Davidsson goes around him on the outside, Sundström passes Kildemand and was super close on going around Nicki on the outside but Nicki managed to defend his 2nd place. Nominations: Piraterna Hancock R2, Pawlicki B4, Kildemand V1, Miedzinski Y3

I don't know, but I would guess that they will do heats 7-10 before grading, then have a short interval after heat 10 for grading Not sure if they'll do any more grading after that, I guess it depends on how track shapes up.

The final standings (unofficial so far) will be like this (unless Piraterna looses the grip due to the weather): 1. Piraterna 24p 2. Dackarna 24p --------------- 3. Indianerna 20p 4. Västervik 19p 5. Ikaros Smederna 18p 6. Elit Vetlanda 15p Indianerna will get to choose between Vetlanda and Ikaros Smederna, Västervik will get the remaining team but can still decided if the want to start away or at home.

As I said they will remove the loose top surface and put some dry and warmed up gravel on it. Then they'll try to pack it a bit and after that we're good to go.

Scheduled re start at 21.30-21.45 Swedish time. That is 49-64 minutes form now.

Nah, I don't think it's to bad. They'll manage to get it back in shape. Just a light scraping of the surface and then some dry material on it.

I think the rain will stop within 10-20 minutes.

@MP I forgot that you probably don't have the same feed as I do. On C mores feed, Tina Johansson was interviewed and she is a former chair(wo)man of the board at Vargarna.

The women is a former chair(wo)man of the board at Vargarna.

The meeting will take a break to wait for the rain to stop.

Nicki excluded. I think that it is tough but correct, I don't really like this "all 4 back" as referees usually use it a bit too general and often.

The rain intensifies at Motala.

Mats Olsson at C More said that he believe that it is Italy that will replaced by Tammerfors/Finland.

Great riding by Rosén. A really superb first bend by him.
