Mee too. A broken arm is obviously very serious but it could have been allot worse. The only "good" with a broken bone is that when it have healed fully it will be stronger then it was before it was broken. Really gutted for Emil. On a side note there have too many injuries this year and I (as well as Hampel and Kolodziej) think that part of it can blamed on the current silencer but obviously the riders needs to change their way of riding as well. They're sometimes too tough or rough never wanting to give up and when they're so close and the the speeds that are present there is zero margin. Every rider is constantly on the margin and that is when the accident happens.

i agree with the coach Emil was along side Adrian when Adrian fenced him. imo Adrian should have been excluded. i agree with the coach, Emil was along side Adrian when Adrian fenced him. imo Adrian should have been excluded.

That would be incredibly stupid. Both by the rider and by the fans suggestion such a thing.

I know many riders does the same but perhaps its time ro put a ban on these kind of blockings. Do we want see passings or blockings?

F**ck

As I have said before I think atleast some it depends on that he skipped Sweden. Just one meeting a week in poland plus occasional meetings in Russia is probably not enough to keep the pace up and to keep the setups in check.

I agree with you Alan, JD is the "true" champion.

T.N.T no need for a run off at all. Troy had most heat wins and should have been third. Madsen and Zagar who had two heat wins each should have been 4th and 5th since Madsen was ahead of Zagar in the heat that they met. Dryml should have been 6th since he was ahead of NKI in the heat that they met. And there was also no need for a run off in Poole since Smolinski had one more heat win then Harris and Smolinski was also ahead of Harris in the heat where they met. Smolinski outranked Harris by right.

Yep what Gray said, winner of final is champion.

Plenty of good heats now. Nicki was too wide so he only have himself too blame.

It seems that it won't be necessary but uf they would have had to postpone it, i would guess that the restaging of it would have been tomorrow.

Hope Hans is ok there.

Kenni Larsen is still injured, so Bjerre takes his place.

Pavlic replaces PK at Smederna, Pavlic will ride both Tuesday and wednesday. http://www.smederna.nu/?page=news&newsid=2790

Apparently its kind of dodgy weather in Vetlanda not sure if there will be any racing tonight.

Zorro won't ride tonight, Oliver Berntzon who is next in line will replace him. results will available here: http://www.speedwaysm.se/se/Resultat

Lgauta celebrates the win with Smedernas fans:

yeah that is how it is. last years result: http://www.speedwaysm.se/se/Resultat/Resultat_SM_2012

Phiip yes we all know that Harris wasn't include until Zagar pulled out. However according to the German federation Harris was included in the 16 rider lineup already in Thursday afternoon which means that Zagars decision had to have been received at least by Thursday afternoon. Possibly even earlier then that. This means that the official story that Zagar had pulled out on Friday doesn't hold up but rather they lied about it because otherwise Harris wouldn't have been included in the lineup by Thursday afternoon. Although I'd prefer Harris in the GPs rather then Max Dilger and Tobi Kroner but they had the right to be asked and themselves decide if they wanted to participate or not when those ahead of them pulled out.

It seems Harris was nominated on Thursday already and not Friday. If asked on Thursday many of the other riders ahead of Harris on the reserve list would have had enough time to get themselves and their equipment to Poole in time for the meeting. It seems that I was right after all claiming that FIM skipped the list to some extent and nominated Harris instead.

PK is out, Zorro will decide tonight if he will ride tomorrow or not, Kylmäkorpi replaces PK and I think that Oliver Berntzon is the next in line if Zorro pulls out.

Voice our opinions in social media and in enquiries to the federation?

OK i was bit unclear What I mean is that count back should be used as the primary method if it still is the same move down to the riders scores against each other if it's still not possible to separate them the use a run off to separate the riders. But a run off shouldn't be used as the primary method of separating riders. If we take Smolinski vs Harris scenario it would be like this: Who has the most heat wins, 2nds, 3rd, 0s,Rs, Xs.? - Smolinski has one more heat win then Harris, Smolinski then ranks higher then Harris. If they have the same amount move down to nr2 Which of the riders finished before the other in the heat that they met? Smolinski did which would rank him higher. Run off heat(s) to separate the riders. This will work even with many more riders since stage one and two could separate some of them but if it still is not possible to separate all or some of them then have run off heat(s) to separate. We could do another example with 5 riders; A, B, C, D, E Who has the most heat wins, 2nds, 3rd, 0s,Rs, Xs? A and B have 3 each, C and D have two each E have 1. Then E is eliminated. Which of the riders finished before the others in the heat that they met? A vs. B and C vs. D. If E also have two heat wins it would be A vs B and C vs D vs E A had won over B and ís ranked highest of these 5, B is ranked second highest. If C, D and E all have one win against the other two then move on to a run off. If C have won over both D and E then C will be ranked third with the D and E being separated by whoever was ahead of the other in the heat where they met. Run off. These a valid arguments but gate positions matter in the run off as well right? If there is a run off with 4 riders, one rider will get the good gate position and someone will get the worst gate position. And how do you decide which riders goes to which gate?

Vetlanda have decided to replace Jacob Thorssell with Magnus Karlsson. http://www.elitvetlanda.se/nyheter/ersattare-klar-med-gastkontrakt/

No, its is not allowed to use a rider that is registered for another team as a replacement for the longtime injured rider. Only riders that have not been permanently registered for another teams is allowed to be used. However riders that have only been riding as replacements for long-time injured riders are allowed to be re-used.
