I can give you a short explanation: Ikaros Smederna, Ikaros is the title sponsor, Smederna means the smiths taken from Eskilstuna's legacy as a Smithting town. Västervik/Skepparna, Västervik is the name of the city. Skepperna means something the shippers. Indianerna is the Indians Vargarna is the Wolves Vetlanda is the name of the Town and Elit is the name sponsor. Hammarby is a name of a city area in Stockholm and it is also the name several clubs in Stockholm. Hammarby is a common locality name in Sweden.

No no no way you're both way wrong. Dackarna was another name for the people who lived in Småland and supported the rebel named Nils Dacke. So Dackarna pretty much means the Dacke rebels. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nils_Dacke

Nope, weather is supposed to be sunny in Motala. Dave is "logged in" on twitter though.

nw42, Swedish Elitserien always starts at 19.10 Swedish time. also pm sent. Also Smederna makes some changes. Eklöf will replace Jonsson as nr2 and they will use R/R for Kenni.

Well Iris is Vojens really that good? The racing is awful, the weather is awful... Vojens is a small town in the southern end of the west coast of Denmark. I think Vojens is the kind of place where one wouldn't stay any minute longer then needed while cities like Stockholm and Copenhagen while more expensive, have allot more to offer. Especially Stockholm have allot to offer no matter if you like, partying, museums, architecture or lovely nature. This is why I never have been at Måilla, racing is good but it's too isolated with hardly anything of interest around. Vojens is even worse with the very mediocre track and racing.

I think it more has to do with that it in general are quite tough times at the moment, a quite high unemployment and etc. I would liked to have gone but I couldn't afford both Copenhagen and Stockholm so I chosen Stockholm over Copenhagen and perhaps many other Swedes have done the same. In particular those who live in the same part of Sweden as I do.

here is a link to confirm that:

No I am pretty sure that he won't. I think the team will be: F. Lindgren, Ljung, J. Davidsson and PK with Dennis Andersson as reserve.

actually it is the same dirt at all the temporary tracks isn't it? At least I've read claims/statements that it is so.

Well according to Ole, there is nothing wrong with Vojen's track. All that it needs is some more grand stands. Then there is the weather factor, During how many of Vojen's GP's, SWC's. GP qualifying the past 10 years or so, have it been raining?

Swedish team will Ljung, Davidsson at least, a decision about Lindgren will be taken early this week. Sundström (replaced by Zetterström) Jonsson and Nermark are certain non participants

so? it does not prevent you from posting your info in that thread.

Injury update: Freddie Lindgren suffered a torn off muscle, will be out for two weeks or so. Andreas Jonsson have a confirmed broken shoulder and a broken rib. Out for one month. Kenni Larsen a likely broken arm, Smederna might try and find a replacement, already for Tuesdays meeting.

another blow for Smederna, Kenni injured. Probably a broken arm.

initial reports says at least 1 month. Freddie Lindgren might back from his muscle damage in two weeks. So a small chance for Freddie to ride at SWC.

Well he won the re-run so I'm sure that he is ok.

Gafurov?

There is a thread already: http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=73053

Yeah, Vladivostok have a meeting in Vladivostok on Thursday. Laguta will also miss the away meeting against Indianerna in August due to the same reason.

Nice ride by Laguta, just a pity that he isn't available for Smederna on Tuesday.

pawel, do you know what meeting that is held in Poland tomorrow? From what I understand Grigorij Laguta will be riding in it, preventing him from riding in Sweden on Tuesday? *edit nevermind, i found it. Why do they have a meeting on a Monday?

It seems that Freddie have not broken his arm, it is torn off muscle injury and he have or will undergo surgery for it. I agree with this, the rules do say that the one who caused the stoppage is to be excluded. Emil kept his line on the outside while Zagar moved all the way from a more inside line out to the fence ignoring that a rider was outside of him, which means that Zagar caused the stoppage. Imo I want to see racing woth passing, I don't want to see riders moving across the entire width of the track just to try and block someone.

Zagar was slightly ahead yes but not enough ahead to be allowed to turn right and fence the rider on the outside. You just can turn tight when there is a rider on the outside. Zagar had the whole track to ride on but still decided to move out and block Emil. Emil kept his line while Zagar diidn't. Thus Zagar's move caused the stoppage.
