Well IMO Lindgren does not deserve another wild card, he have had too many already and If it has to be a Sweden then I think THJ should be allowed to do a full GP-season.
I also think (as I always do) that Grigorij Laguta is worthy of a wild card.
Why would you want to give a wild card each to Gollob or Greg?
Both have been around for a long time and are two of speedways biggest profiles but its time to let them go if the fail to qualify on their own.
Definitely the worst GP so far this season, even worse then Prague.
The few good things were Iversen getting his well deserved first GP-win and that both Emil and Tai escaped without injuries.
The tape definitely went up faster on the inside then the outside. Ward and Greg had a clear advantage there. Should have been a restart.
Edit* restart it is.
Another good news is that Laguta will take a later flight to his Vladivostok meeting so that he can ride for Smederna on Tuesday.

heat 4, Gollob vs Woffy vs. G. Laguta heat 12 Laguta vs. Laguta, heat 19 Emil, G. Laguta and Nick P. Bring it on.
But I just realized that I will be on a concert next Saturday so I will miss it. there will replays but those will be in Eurosport 2 which I dont have.
Piotr Pawlicki is injured and will not be able to ride more this meeting.
Iversen defeats Hancock in the race-off for the aggregated bonus point in the meeting between Piraterna and Indianerna.
August 12th is new date for Hammarby - Smederna. http://www.smederna....ews&newsid=2752
@mp, there used to be practice before the meetings but it was removed since the track almost always
deliberately was changed during grading to give the away team a disadvantage.
judging by some comments I don't think they'll be up and running by 20.00 a road grader apparently just
arrived at the track so it will probably start a littler later then 20.00.
Tiime frame is within 2 weeks. Date is usually selected depending on availability of riders due to their commitments in other leagues.
I think Hammarby is the only team that have limited dates of availability. Swedish riders are obligated to race in Sweden in the postponed meeting.
The crowd is usually much lower.
