Saturday is the last day for teams to use the transfer cards and there is rumour that Woffinden has signed for a Swedish team.

Masarna says in an FB post that their spectator capacity with the current restrictions is 1300.

Track looks good at Sannahed.

Västervik have confirmed RR for Lindgren.

Both Lindgren and Lambert have been put as nr 2 = R/R.

Attendance was announced as 1536 which is almost the same as the previous meeting against Västervik. However it was less people in the attendance today so I think the attendance against Västervik was >2000 because it looked like allot more then 1500. Decent meeting, expected Masarna to offer a better opposition due to them having performed well in last week's meetings. Track had allot of grip and many of the riders struggled some with the track. Also with the heavy rain shower that arrived about 2 hours before the meeting, good work getting the track into ridable condition. IMO the same goes for Västervik which also suffered allot of rain during the afternoon. Gislaved is usually not the good but the same here with lots of rain for several hours. I see it as very good by just getting a race one.

Highlights: Rospiggarna - Vetlanda https://www.elitspeedway.com/play/video/126992?provider=staylive&autoplay=1 Smederna-Masarna https://www.elitspeedway.com/play/video/126995?provider=staylive&autoplay=1 Västervik - Dackarna https://www.elitspeedway.com/play/video/126996?provider=staylive&autoplay=1 Lejonen - Indianerna https://www.elitspeedway.com/play/video/127004?provider=staylive&autoplay=1

Lejonen - Indianerna first heat expected to start in a few minutes now.

Avon van Dyck is 18 and Sammy is 15.

They are two younger riders (brothers)

Track work in progress at Gislaved, first heat no later than 20.30 Swedish time.

Smederna - Masarna delayed to approx 19.20 Swedish time.

After checking the rain radar again , Smederna-Masarna and Västervik-Dackarna should be able to go ahead. Lejonen-Indianerna still doubtful. https://www.smhi.se/vader/radar-och-satellit/radar-blixt/q/Eskilstuna/2715953#layerselected=5min

Looks a bit wet at Västervik

Several meeting tonight are in doubt due to rain. Rospiggarna - Vetlanda should be fine but the other three are more doubtful.

Zengota replaces Jeppssen for Indianerna. Indianerna says that NKI is back but not sure if he is riding or not tonight.

He is and his son had an arm surgery.

R/R confirmed and Maciej Janowski, Luke Becker, Rasmus Jensen och Sammy van Dyck will be available for R/R. https://www.dagensvimmerby.se/sport/speedway/e/98993/dackarna-far-kora-rider-replacement-mot-vastervik-thorssell-holl-inte/

No Thorssell tomorrow, no info regarding R/R or not.

Walasek will ride instead of Miskowiak tomorrow.

Gzregorz Walasek has be signed by Lejonen as a replacement for Klindt.

Thorssell will practice tonight and then decide if he can ride tomorrow or not. If not then I assume it will be R/R.

I would assume that Indianerna will use RR for Iversen though. Other than that I don't think there will be that many R/R. Kim Nilsson should be back as well after missing the previous meeting due to the birth of his daughter.

I am pretty sure that Chugunov will ride tomorrow, otherwise they wouldn't have put him at nr 3 or could have used Loktajev.

Piraterna speedway issued a statement in which they said that Peter Kildemand was absent without a valid reason for yesterday's meeting . Piraterna's board (styrelse) will now investigate "the consequences and are considering this a breach of contract". They will also try to get in touch with Peter with hopes of reaching an agreement so that Peter can fulfil his contractual obligations. https://www.piraterna.se/artikel/9ituakrgh-3e34d/information-ang-kildemand
