Why lay the bike down if the person that you want to win over is behind you?

I agree with this, I don't mind CH as champion just the way the referee helped him on the way.

WE HAVE watched the replies but its still Holder who failes to gate and hits Nicki twice, causing him to fall. Holder caused the stoppage and should be x'd. No doubt what so ever.

yeah why would anyone leading a heat wanting the heat stopped? Would be pretty stupid really.

Well as long as they stay at the riders pit area no problem but perhaps only allow one mechanic at the track entrance.

Nicki made a better start then Holder and Holder couldn't accept and and striked Nicki, CH wasn't particular much in control either. You know when someone outgates you, you have to accept that and don't try to ride through them. NP outgated Holder so Nicki was fully entitled to take the inside line. Why should he, who did the better gate, move aisde and let CH past?

Put it from another view. What had Chris A done if Nicki had striked Holder? Nicki's light would have been lit before Holder had hit the ground.

You know there is this thing called throttle, if CH just lets it back a bit , he wouldn't have striked Nicki. Nobody forced Chris to keep on steamin' behind Nicki,

Nicki was ahead and Holder hit him twice. Not allowed. Biased referee.

Its not allowed to run down the rider ahead of you.

Referee just gave title to Holder what a looser.

Gutted for Nicki, he makes a better start, can get in infront of Holdr who rams Nicki twice and gets away with it. I guess Holder is allowed to do that but not Nicki.

I think we need to change that for next year then.

ok, right I didn't know. Although I did wonder how he was able to catch a 22.45 (Swedish time) when doing Vetlanda commentary.

As I said, I hope that Nciki wins the title but I also hope that Jason wins his last GP: Results final: 1. Jason 2. Nicki 3. Gollob 4. Holder.

Zorr, Ludvig Lindgren, Alex Edberg & John Lindman have signed for Griparna in Allsvenskan. Griparna also have Patrick Hougaard contracted for next season. Zorro is also negotiating with Smederna and Hammarby for next season. He will make a decision early next week about which Elitserien team he will ride for next week. http://www.sn.se/sport/1.1569726

Congratulations Dave to a successful first year as speedway commentator. Due to restrictions i have been unable to watch your broadcast but I am sure that you do a better job then misters twist and shout. Also will you do on-location commentary next year as well? Or was it only during the playoffs?

Patryk Dudek stays with Dackarna for two more season but the most interesting is that Andreas Jonsson leaves Dackarna. They can't afford to keep him they say. Andreas' average is also too hight to fit under the average cap for Dackarna. http://www.barometern.se/sporten/ot-sporten/jonsson-lamnar-dackarna%283464014%29.gm

Daniel Nermark to Västervik: http://speedwaymedia.speedwaymedia.se/#post278

In Sweden I would rank the tracks in the following way: Kumla, Indianerna Målilla, Dackarna Hagfors, Valsarna Motala, Piraterna Eskilstuna, Smederna Västervik, Västervik Norrköping, Vargarna Gubbängen, Hammarby Gislaved, Lejonen Vetlanda, Elit Vetlanda

is it certain that Piotr Pawlicki will ride?

THJ broke his left upper arm in the crash in the 9th heat. http://www.svt.se/2.93021/1.2844436/overarmsbrott_i_nionde_heatet&from=rss

Joonas Kylmäkorpi stays with Indianerna, he will be riding as a guestrider since he for 2013 will return to using a Swedish license. Apart from Joonas, Piotr Protasiewicz, Antonio Lindbäck, Nils Kristian Iversen and Mathias Thörnblom.will also stay with Indianerna. http://na.se/sporten/speedway/1.1830922-kylmakorpi-forlanger.

As you can see, I decided to just re-edit the current thread with next seasons info instead of creating a new thread. There might still be some rule info that is missing so I'll add it/edit it when its confirmed. Some teams already have announced a few signings. The major rule changes for next season is a lowered average cap to 10.000 for both Elitserien and Allsvenskan. For Elitserien the mandatory U21 rule is scrapped and its now required to have 3 Swedish riders in each lineup. For Allsvenskan its now required to have 4 Swedish riders in each lineup. The guestrider rule have also been changed. For Elitserien the combined average of both guest riders cannot exceed 2.000 For Allsvenskan only one of the guestriders can have an average that is higher then 2.000 This means that Allsvenskan will loose in quality compared two the past two seasons. I think that many Allsvenskan teams will see their best Swedish riders being signed by Elitserien teams. This results in the Allsvenskan teams being forced to recruit from div-1 teams. If you want to play team manager yourselves then you can download the Swedish 2013 team build kit where you can put together your own lineups. Its a simple self-extracting archive just double click it and it will unpack itself to a location of your choice. The Google earth file have also been updated with some additional info.
