Lindgren had some health issues related to post covid last year and a dip in his perfomance. However he has recovered. He is only 38 (in september) and nowadays riders continue to be in their prime well into their 40:s.

no, points are awarded based on finishing position. Bartosz won and was awarded 20 points. Points scored in the actual race doesn't carrry over to the total gp standings.

In FIM TRACK RACING APPENDICES 2023, under 1., last paragraph "Actions judged by the officials responsible to be contrary to the FIM regulations - or judged to be unsportsmanlike or against the best interests of the sport at the event in question - are subject to disciplinary actions as provided for by the arbitration and disciplinary code" Perhaps, it's time to hold Doyle accountable for real? Then maybe he will get the message?

ESS-play only, but they charge another 129* sek ontop of the regular 250 sek**/month for Elitserien. If you want SEC via ESS play it will also cost extra. *about 11 GBP **about 28 GBP

There is also an exception if R/R is used for the rider with the 4th highest average in the lineup one of the reserves can be used twice.

Latest info is that Huckenbeck will ride for Rospiggarna tomorrow.

Västervik will utilize RR for Woffinden.

Except Lambert and Joel nothing positive to say from Smederna - Dackarna. Rubbish attendence (2800), Rubbish track and rubbish team perfomance.

Great start or not. Dackarna definitely faster from the gate so far.

Kim Nilsson is out for Rospiggarna. Palovaara at nr 5 snd Bock at nr 7.

Some changes for Västervik: 1. Jack Holder is written out from the squad. 2. Bellago replaces Holder in the squad. 3. Bellago replaces Fredrik Lindgren tonight. https://speedwayfans.se/vastervik-forandrar-igen-gp-tvaan-skrivs-ut/

No Fredrik Lindgren for Västervik. Not known yet if RR or replacing rider.

There is also a meeting tomorrow, Lejonen - Indianerna, which was postponed a few weeks ago due to rain.

Claims that ticket sales are up 15-20 percent (so far) compared to last year. Their goal is an attendence of 8000. https://m.dagensvimmerby.se/sport/speedway/e/140592/positiv-kansla-infor-sommarens-gp-okat-15-20-procent

Kumla is a good track, but is a bit lackning when it comes facilities. IMO Västervik would be a better choice. However Sweden cannot support two gp, especially not given the close proximity between Västervik and Målilla.

Västervik is a really good track and also a nice summer town on the southern Swedish east coast.

Maybe ESS play, but not SVT
