  1. spook, Pepe won't need a wild card as he qualified via the Grand Prix Challenge. The same goes for Antonio and Bjarne. Also you could argue what its worth most, finishing some 30p behind the nr8 or finishing 4th in the qualifier 1p behind the last qualifier. Vaculik have not been particular impressive in Sweden though this season, 9 meetings and some 45p only. Another name that cannot be overlooked is Maciej Janowski, who has finished 5th in the 2009 U21 world Champs, he was 2nd in 2010 and is currently leadingthis years u21 world champs series head of Dennis Andersson in 2nd, Darcy Ward in 3rd, Martin Vaculik in 4th Patryk Dudek in 5th and Przemysław Pawlicki in 6th. On the other hand he is Polish and we all know what that means... SO imo both Freddie and Harris have burnt their bridges by not riding in the qualifiers. Freddie has a 100% rate of failure in finishing top 8 in the 4 seasons he have been a full-time GP rider. Although Lindgren managed to go through via last years GP challenge. For Harris its an 80% rate of failure of managing to finish top 8.
  2. Elitserien Playout Final 1 2011-09-27 Dackarna - Västervik Dackarna Andreas Jonsson Hans Andersen Fredrik Lindgren Jurica Pavlic R/R Rune Holta Daniel King Joel Larsson Västervik Tomasz Jedrzejak Peter Ljung Chris Harris Nikolai Klindt Sebastian Ulamek Pontus Aspgren Rafal Okoniewski Its time for the relegation final. The looser is this double meeting will follow Lejonen down to Allsvenskan. That is if Rospiggarna chooses to take the step up to Elitserien. Several of Dackarna's riders showed goof form in Gorican, however its now a league meeting and the pressure on both team's riders are probably quite big. In the series Dackarna won both meetings. At home the won with 48-41 and at Västervik they won with 46-44. Both Tuesdays and Wednesdays meeting will be shown live on Canal+ Sport 1. There have been allot of complaining about that Rospiggarna haven't announced their decision yet. This is despite that Rospiggarna have until Saturday in this week (October 1st) to decide. Some speculate that they will decline while others claim that they have new sponsor on the line which would give the the funds needed for a return to Elitserien. So we'll just have to wait and see.
  3. well his wc was justified when the WC was handed out. He was really excellent last season. but the direct opposite this season.
  4. What is the point of having wild cards at all if they always are going to be handed out to Harris and Lindgren? Why should they always be favoured before anyone else? I'd say that since both of them entered the GPs on wild card its about time they lets someone else have a try. So far Harris have received wild cards for 4 out 5 seasons and Freddie for 3 out of 4 seasons and they still don't manage to get in on merit more then once on these tries. So imo they have had more then enough chances especially if they can't qualify more then once on so many tries.
  5. i agree with most of this post, although i think one wc could be kept just in case we get a situation like last year with Emil, where he got injured in the beginning of the season and then got injured again in the comeback. I such cases i think a Wc could be justified when having in mind what Emil showed the year before. as i've said before, its not actually the wild card system itself that the problem lies within the use of the system. If we would have a clear set of rules and definitions for wild card a system with maybe two wild card it could work but i doubt BSI will change anything because its probably very convenient for them to have the currents system where they in a routine manner just hands out the wild cards to Lindgren, Harris and the other two who finished 9-12 ish.
  6. well i stil think that even if they are riding in multiple leagues, they should try and qualify. rather then just waiting for the wild card.
  7. MP you still got the Cardiff Wild Card. Name any other motorsport world championship that has place granted in the championships for all host nations. also football is different as its championships are an every 4th year tournaments of which meetings are all held in the same country. While speedway's world championship is an annual series. There are at least three host countries in SGP that does not have a granted spot, Czech Rep. Italy & and Croatia. So why should Briatn have one and not those?
  8. i'd say only Ward deserves a wild card of those. Especially Freddie and Harris should be excluded until they can qualify on their own. also what would be the point of having WIld Card if the same riders get them year after year?
  9. information about Valsarnas invitational meeting Valsnatta: 500cc: Aarni Heikkilä Adrian Bergkvist Jonas Engdahl Rasmus Broberg Joni Keskinen Espen Molund Marcus Broquist Mika Loppi Jiri Nieminen Kenny Persson Victor Palovaara Ted Hagansbo Pasi Pulliainen Robin Törnqvist Dag Erik Lökken Marko Suojanen 80cc: Arttu Pentinmäki Vegard Starsveen Andreas Svensson --------------- Ola Pedersen Eric Ivarsson Linus Nyman Niklas Säyriö Emil Rindal Timothy Turesson Kasperi Ahvenainen Viktor Flood Nike Lunna Sebastian Selvin Markus Berggren Johannes Stark Three best from the above goes to group 2-> Joel Kling Freddie Broms Henri Ahlbom Jooa Partanen Johan Jensen Christoffer Selvin Viktor Lockström Simon Eriksson Niilo Vuolas Antti Vuolas Joakim Christensen Oskar Axelsson Tim Johansson http://valsarna.nu/valsnatta_2011.htm
  10. first its tonight (22nd) and not tomorrow. and don't really have have that much info except this: http://www4.idrotton...eter/AtlasOpen/ http://www4.idrotton.../Inforkvallen2/ riders: Peter Ljung Mikkel Mickelssen Joel Larsson, Oliver "Vispen" Berntzon, Jonas Engdahl, Robin Aspegren, Robin Törnqvist Anton Rosén, Tim Gudmundsson, Kasper Lykke Nielsen, Victor Palovaara, Anders Mellgren, Erik Andersson, André Hertzberg, Andreas Westlund Mathias Thörnblom.
  11. Smederna wants to replace Pulcynski brothers and Gunnestad. I can agree on Emil and Kamil but i definitely want to keep Gunnestad. Smederna want to bring in Alex Edberg and Ricky Kling. Ricky's average is way to high compared to the points he contributes with. Gunnestad perhaps have had a particular good season but i think he improved during the second half of the season and i think he has allot of potential. besides he almost managed to keep the same average level as he started the season on. He has went from 1,087 to 0,956 which is ok for the first season in Allsvenskan. Although i agree on that he needs more meetings then only Allsvenskan If i am entitled to dream I would like the following: Henrik Karlsson Linus Eklöf Daniel Henderson Alexander Edberg Rasmus Eklöf Daniel Gunnestad Rasmus Eklöf or a new rider, Jacob Thorssell or Timo Lahti perhaps? Kenni Larsen Rasmus Broberg can be included outside the regular 8 riders as his average will remain at 0,5 since he only have ridden 15 heats (16 heat is required for a new average) Guestriders: THJ Zorro Ricky Kling or Jacob Thorssell or Rasmus EKlöf if you look at Smedernas squad this season 4 riders with an average higher then 0,5 that can be removed: Emil Pulcynski 2,334 Kamil Pulcynski 2,334 Robert Henderson 1.000 Jimmy Jansson 0,652 Some really good news though that Smederna will finish the season with a 100'000 kr profit (£9446 / $14580 / €10822 / 48391 Polish Zloty) http://folket.se/sportfolket/1.1193415
  12. source Wikipedia. with this i mean that i never heard about that stadium before but it took me just a minute or two of looking that information up. Obviously for an Irishmen who hardly ever have come in contact with it could be difficult to know whether Vojens is in Denmark or Norway but it isn't very hardto look it up, I mean even Alan could manage it.
  13. well perhaps one of the Pawlicki brothers or Janowski or Grigorij Laguta. I'd prefer either of those as the Grozow WV and and if its so necessary to give Darcy 2 WC then he could have had the Gorican Wild Card instead of Zagar.
  14. http://www.elitvetlanda.se/index.php?page=news&stage=1&id=1978 you have a brief comment there.
  15. the intervail entertainment in Kumla is rubbish, some Sean Banan dude, i wan't AC/DC!! but Europe would also be acceptable. however this bana dude seems very very popular among the kids.
  16. live results at svemo.se/speedway or at http://www.speedwaylive.se/ i'll leave you to fend on your own as i'm going to Kumla tonight.
  17. Elitserien Semifinals leg 2 Indianerna - Hammarby Indianerna (52) Antonio Lindbäck Niels-Kristian Iversen Piotr Protasiewicz Henrik Gustafsson Joonas Kylmäkorpi Simon Gustafsson Bjarne Pedersen Hammarby (38) Grzegorz Walasek Rory Schlein Tomasz Gollob Andrej Karpov Magnus Zetterström Freddy Grodlund Renat Gafurov Indianerna took a truly crushing victory a week ago when they defeated.Hammarby with 14 points. Hammarby had the grip until the interval after 10 heats. Although Indianerna is missing Ryan Sullivan, who i think is having a meeting in Russia, they shouldn't have any problems with advancing to the final. Judging by the past weekends activity in Målilla both Antonio and Simon showed good form. Regarding Hammarby's team, Gafurov, Schlein, Walasek and Zetterström are all former Indianerna riders. Possibly Grodlund as well. Piraterna - Elit Vetlanda #tv-meeting# Canal+ sport 2 and Tv4 sport. 19.00 Swedish time. Piraterna Greg Hancock ??? Linus Sundström Jonas Davidsson Przemyslaw Pawlicki Maciej Janowski Piotr Pawlicki Daniel Davidsson Elit Vetlanda Thomas H Jonasson Patrick Hougaard Jaroslaw Hampel Peter Karlsson Jason Crump Christian Agö Damian Balinski This is going to a very tough meeting for both teams. For Piraterna its still not certain whether Greg is fir to ride or not. I think Piraterna will need him if they are going to win with more then 10p. Vetlanda is missing Jacob Thorssell who will be out for 6-8 weeks due to injuries. Personally i think that Vetlanda will go through. But i hope that Piraterna will win coz i really would like to se Indianerna vs. Piraterna in the final.
  18. will be shown on both tv4 sport and Canal+ sport 2. teams and info coming up.
  19. he had a fall but i don't think he got any injuries.
  20. results final heat: 1. Andreas Jonsson 2. Freddie Lindgren 3. Antonio Lindbäck 4. Jonas Davidsson
