One change is that he quit the Swedish league during the middle of the season. Which means 1 meeting/week in Poland plus occasional meetings in Russia. IMO that is a bit little to keep the pace up. Less occasions to get bike set up feedback and etc.

Are you from Tammerfors?

Macca, nice try but i still disgaree with you. Its a similar situation as with Leigh Adams who were in he GP top for well over a decade an a half but eventually finsihed outside top 8. The discussion then was the same then as now. He is a classy rider who have been in the top for many years, he deserves a wild card. As you know, that didn't happen. I think it will be the same witth Tomasz and Greg. If they finish outside top 8 I don't think we'll see them in the Grand Prix anymore. If they finish within top 8 I think Greg might do another year but not Tomasz.

Who do you think will replace Kjastas Puodzuks as one of the track reserves? He seems to have broken his hand/wrist yesterday?

lineups Hammarby-Smederna Hammarby 1. Grzegorz Walasek 2. Artem Laguta 3. Leon Madsen 4. Mikael Max 5. Kenneth Bjerre 6. Sebastian Aldén 7. Robin Aspegren Lagledare: Piotr Zyto & Anders Fröjd. Ikaros Smederna 1. Peter Karlsson 2. Szymon Wozniak 3. Grigorij Laguta 4. Krzysztof Buczkowski 5. Andreas Jonsson 6. Oliver Berntzon 7. Linus Eklöf Zorro have a meeting in England and I find it annoying that foreign leagues have precedence for Swedish riders for postponed meetings.

Eurosport International will re-play it 07.00 & 17.45 tomorrow on ES2 and 22.45 in ES1. Then also at 10.45 on Monday in Es1.

Masarna won the final meeting in this years allsvenskan with 48-42 and with this managed to take the final play off spot.

no thanks too expensive for the club and the GPs really ruined the track. Finally it seem like they have managed to get in back in order. But the parking lot have been ruined by a go cart track and the city is really slow with building news one around the track,

Målilla is good track but the thing that I dislike with it that its too isolated. Limited accommodations, limited public transport and etc...

So are we to assume that Tampere will replace Gothenburg and that Finlands GP will be use Got's May date?

Good get us a live stream then.

Great, now we're just waiting for a NL GP. Was it Arnhem that you said was most suitable? Now confirmed on speedwaygp.com as well: http://speedwaygp.co...-for-grand-prix

Thanks again Vlad.

Great info Vlad, thanks for your effort.

I have a contact S.B. who lives in Riga, I can check with him to see if he knows anything.

Tonight's meeting between Masarna and Griparna is postponed because of rain, new date is tomorrow. Likely Rospiggarna-Örnarna will be postponed as well. Gnistorna-Lejonen is likely to go ahead though. Rospiggarna vs. Örnarna only managed with 8 heats before it was aborted due to rain. Tonight was the final round of this year's Allsvenskan. Lejonen is currently 4th but if Masarna wins with 47-43 or more tomorrow, they'll move up into 4th. Griparna finished 6th but since there is no demotion from Allsvenskan, so they will be back in Allsvenskan next season. Final standings: Örnarna, 453 - 404, 19p Rospigagrna, 458 - 398, 17p FNC Gnistorna, 440 - 459, 11 Lejonen/Masarna Lejonen/Masarna Griparna, 387 - 422, 6p http://www.svemo.se/sv/Grenar/Speedway/Allsvenskan2013/Serietabell/

Could you tell me how many times Freddie qualified on his own and how many times he have gotten a wild card. I think he has one qualification via GP-challenge and one top 8. The rest is wild cards. THAT is what matters. I'm amazed that some people are suggesting that Gollob would deserve a wild card. I agree that he have been one of the most entertaining riders through the years but those days are long gone. Tomek is no longer the GP-rider he once was. You can't hand out wild card based on something that was 5-10-15-20 years ago. You have to look at this season and at next season. He didn't look to interested last year and even less interested this year. Its time to let go of the old generation and welcome the new generation with Emil, Tai, Darcy, Holder, MJJ, Dudek, Janowski...

yes he did but so what? He have had more wild cards then places acquired by qualifying on his own.

pawlicki is confimed as a reserve according to speedwaygp.com http://speedwaygp.com/news/article/2763/nki-cruises-into-gp-challenge

Sportowefakty had 8+1 at first but have changed it to 7+1.

Good reuslt, both Nermark and Jonasson to the final. Also good that Dryml and Kennett didn't qualify.

I see but he does have some connection to Latvia don't he?

yeah he looked good. I think he had good speed throughout the entire meeting. Still not a good gater though. A brief review of the meeting: heat 1: great start by Zorro, Nermark and Jedrzejak was close behind him going in into the first bend. Laguta was a little behind the others but found a nice line between Nermak and JJ which propelled him past both of them. Laguta and Zorro had no problem keeping the 5-1 for the remaining 3½ laps. heat 2: Initially looked like a 3-3 when Davidssons bike packed up at the start. Ludvig in front, EKlöf 2nd and Berntzon 3rd. Berntzon find some very nice grip along the fence and passed Ludvig on the outside. 4-2 Smederna heat 3: Pk took this from the start, and if I remember it correctly Buczek managed to squeeze himelsf up into 3rd. 4-2 Smederna. heat 4: quite undramatic, Batchelor from the gate, Linus was close initially but lost some ground after a whiel. AJ kept chasing but were never within striking distance. heat 5: A great start by Oliver (!) took him up into the lead where he remained for the rest of the heat, Zorro tried and trid but wasn't able to pass Ludvig. 4-2 Smederna. heat 6: Batchelor gates and moves into 1st, out of the first bend PK and Buczek passes Nermark who was holding 2nd, less then half a lap later Smederna have moved within striking range of Troy. The Russian rocket blasts past Troy on the inside while Buczek are doing the same on the outside. Buzz and PK keeps the lead with ease for the last 3 laps. 5-1 Smederna. heat 7: A more or less identical heat as heat 6. Västervik's riders gates but Smederna takes care of the first one in the first bend and across the line after one lap Laguat and Zorro did the same move as PK and Buzz in the previous heat. 5-1 Smederna. heat 8: a quite undramatic heat. PK takes his 2nd win and still have a maximum (8+1) after three rides. Buzz brings in the one pointer. 4-2 Smederna. heat 9: Linus gates but lacks enough speed to keep Västervik's rider behind him. AJ with an easy win. heat ends 3-3. heat 10: Laguta misses the start again but manages to get himself up into 1st without any problem. Oliver misses the start and does not have enough speed to threathen Ludvig and Troy. heat 11: Oliver gates and takes the lead, Eklöf manages to squeeze himself into second going into bend 1 on lap 2. He and Berntzon keeps the lead all the way. 5-1 Smederna. heat 12: Nermark and JJ gates, AJ manages to split the 5-1 with a nice insider. Buczek a bit behind. Västervik win the heat with 4-2. The only heat in which they score more points then Smederna. heat 13: Hans takes the lead from the strart and keeps it for the remainder of the heat. Zorros manages to pass Nemark and secures a 3-3. This was the only lost point for PK tonight. 11+1 so far from 4 rides. heat 14: A Smederna 5-1 from tapes. heat 15: PK from the start, AJ misses some but manages to pass Hans and going out of the final bend AJ squeezes himself past Troy but Troy have a little better acceleration out of the bend and re-passes andreas just before the line and gets 2nd by 2-3 inches. 4-2 Smederna and 59-31 in the meeting. Smederna gets 2p for the win as well as the aggregated bonus point. The track was very good the first half of the meeting but then lost the outside grip. Perhaps the track became a but dry as they didn't want to put to much water on the track as there was a high risk for rain. Laguta was unbelievable, super fast and are usually able to find good lines for passing 12p maximimum for him. He has 47+2 out of 51 possible the last three meetings. PK 13+1 tonight. I'm a bit gutted that he missed his maximum. AJ was also very good tonight. 10+1 for him. Good lines, smooth racing and good speed. Cuuld be better if he had better starts. Oliver Berntzon a very very good meeting from him 9 out 12 possible points. 3 heat wins and good riding in general. Well deserved for him. Zorro had a much better meeting then two weeks ago. 7p is a pretty good score from him. Buczek only managed 5p from 4 rides. A little too little. Possible he will get an unwanted rest nest week in favor of Kjastas Poudzuks. LInus Eklöf was totally ok , he takes the scores that is reuqired. Smederna and Hammarby will meet in Stockholm on Monday next week which is last weeks postponed meeting. Then on Tuesday we have: Indianerna - Smederna Piraterna - Vargarna Elit Vetlanda - Hammarby Västervik - Dackarna Current standings: Piraterna 13 617 - 553 21 Dackarna 13 611 - 558 21 Västervik 13 602 - 566 19 Indianerna 13 584 - 586 17 Ikaros Smederna 12 546 - 533 15 Vargarna 13 584 - 584 12 Elit Vetlanda 13 578 - 592 12 Hammarby 12 465 - 615 8

Smederna are back with a big bang. Laguta is hotter then sun. It almost looks like he is missing the starts on purpose just so that he can practice on doing passings. Heats 1-7 were awsome but track has lost some of the grip on the outside.

Perhaps but in that case I would say that Grigorij Laguta would be a better choice. Although he is using Russian license, Grigorij was born in Latvia.
