according to sportowefakty.pl, Janusz Kolodziej's Polish team have stopped him from riding for Vetlanda tomorrow. This is supposed to be due to Janusz poor performance yesterday,

sorry my dates above is not entirely correct. It seems that this week is a backup week to be used if any of the last two rounds had been postponed. The first round of the semi finals are not until Thursday next week so no meetings this week. However dont forget to visit the archive at http://speedwayallsvenskan.se/matcher.html currently only a few rounds are available but all meetings will eventually be available.

i think that its not a big deal for Indianerna to have Anto9 as nr 4 since they now got Iversen on reserve. The meeting is also interesting since its a potential (semi) final pairing. imo indianernas reserves will win thee meeting for indianerna.

wouldn't mind joonas or Anto9 at all , Pepe however...no thanks.

it seems that that the semi-final pairings have been decided. Örnarna chose Rospiggarna which means that Smederna and Masarna will meet in the other semi-final. dates: Semi final 1:1 Rospiggarna-Örnarna, Thursday August 25th Semi final 1:2 Örnarna-Rospiggarna, Thursday September 1st Semi final 2:1 Smederna-Masarna, Thursday August 25th Semi final 2:2 Masarna-Smederna, Thursday September 1st Final 1:1 Thursday September 8th Final 1:2 Friday September 9th starting time should be 19.00 . (at the earliest for all meetings) which is 6pm UK time or 8pm Eastern Europe time. Parade is usually 15 minutes before starting time. Everything covered live at www.speedwayallsvenskan.se *updated with correct dates.

i don't know about a stream but the meeting will be televised by SVT, although with an annoying 30 min delay.

sure was, Emil watch and learn.

i know, i missed that CH had a win.

if not its about time they created such a rule.

its probably gonna be Gothenburg+Stockholm= no Målilla.

yep

hotrrible move and an even more horrible decision. THJ was clearly run down by the Russian kamikaze.

2003+2010+2011 that i can remember straight away, 2005-2006-2007 there were no gp at Gothenburg. Thats means 50% of the last 6 gps at Ullevi have been affected by rain. However even the years that haven't been ruined by rain have offered a poor track full of holes and ruts. anyway i just found an article saying that Ullevi signed a 5 year!!! deal in 2009 so i guess there will be a sh*tty gp at Ullevi for another two or three years. So i guess that GotEvent that organizes the event in Gothenburg have paid some really good money to Bellamy's pocket. http://svt.se/2.9302...edway_pa_ullevi

However since Alex still is recovering from his injuries and won't be riding, Daniel Henderson will take his place in the final.

Honestly Alan, Smederna should be able to win without him. but very great and exciting to see Broberg riding like an established Allsvenskan reserverider.

I've been saying this for several weeks now, its time to put Henderson and Karlsson aside for awhile (/and unfortunately also Gunnestad). They continue to score 0 or 1p /meeting while Rasmus Broberg and Rasmus Eklöf proves that they are to be counted with., Very nice riding from Rasmus Broberg tonight. Too bad about the fall in heat 2 otherwise he would have had 6p from 3 heats. Also if THJ new he wouldn't ride tonight, why accept the nomination? we could have called in Pulcynski or Ricky Kling. IMO if a rider wants to be in the team he or she have to earn the place. IMO, tonight Broberg definitely earned earned himslef a place in next weeks lineup. Just as Karlsson & Henderson showed that they should be loooked over for next weeks meeting. So bring in Pulcynski and R.Eklöf and keep Broberg. It can hardly be worse then tonight. and perhaps a wakeup call for Karlsson/Henderson to try harder and stay calmer (Henderson). my standard team: Magnus Zetterström 2,531 Linus Eklöf 1,558 Kenni Larsen 2,334 Emil Pulczynski 2,334 THJ 1,179 Rasmus Broberg 0,5 Rasmus Eklöf 0,5 10,936

i'm officially walking out from this meeting. leaving smedstadion very disappointed and very very upset with the abysmal performance from Smederna.

hope for a tac sub in heat i, then let gunnestad and broberg share karlsson and hendersons remaining heat. yep eklöf in for genderson in heat 8

stupid move by Henderson. time for a break for him.

alan the score is 14-10 to smederna as rasmus broberg fell but got up and finished as.nr3 which earned him 1p and smederna 4p. great riding by him until he fell.

changes for Smederna apparently no THJ for Smederna. Henderson will be moved up to 4th and Rasmus Broberg.

Sweden have withdrawn as well due to, logistical problems, insurance problems and time aspects. Its not a surprise since it has been hinted a few days ago that this would be likely to happen. I think one of the major factots behind the decision is that there is a schedule conflict with this event and the Allsvenskan finals which means that 4 of the 5 riders who rode on the team in the tea, U21 seminal would miss out on the finals. Three of them rides for the same team (Rospiggarna) which is favourites to win Allsvenskan's promotion series. So i think that Svemo don't want to ruin it for Rospiggarna if they make it to the final (which is likely),by sending half their team to Russia. http://www.svemo.se/...-JVMforSverige/

of course there will be a stream. tonight's streams: Avantia-Gnistorna http://speedwayallsvenskan.se/2011-08-11-ava-gni.html Ikaros Smederna - Masarna http://speedwayallsvenskan.se/2011-08-11-sme-mas.html Rospiggarn - Örnarna http://speedwayallsvenskan.se/2011-08-11-ros-orn.html

Krzysztof Kasprzak have been suspended by his Swedish team Vargarna, due the manipulated silencers. http://www.nt.se/sport/artikel.aspx?articleid=7040137
