Sponsors+ spectators. I also think most clubs expected the restrictions to be eased off earlier and that the spectators would return at that point but that latter have not happened in the extent the teams expected. As for the Polish teams/riders some teams like Smederna have not had any problems with fielding the team they want except for Loktaev who have had visa problems related to restrictions entering Sweden due to the pandemic. They have also not used Grigorij Laguta that much due to Woryna's success. Västervik and Dackarna have mostly used the riders they want but due to the SGP Thursday meetings have been problematic. So yes to some extent it's a bit strange that some clubs have no issues with their riders riding elsewhere but others have such huge problems.

Yes.

"Family reasons" mentioned by C-more commentator Stefan Klemetz.

I haven't seen anything yet. With the current lineup only Berntzon, Eklöf and Henriksson so I would assume that they would try to find another rider but I doubt KK or Miskowiak are available.

Hampel is confirmed to not be riding tonight. Official reason is that he has been stopped from riding by Lublin.

Hampel is doubtful due to claims that their Polish teams are not allowing them to ride in Sweden. I obviously don't know how much truth this is and how much is just the teams lacking funds to pay the riders. http://speedwayfans.se/polen-fortsatter-att-diktera-villkoren-for-speedwayen/

From what I've heard SWC might make a return.

If Västervik scores at least 41 p tonight they will finish second. A result of 41-49 tonight will bring them to same point quota as Dackarna but Västervik will finish second due to better head to head results. For the other meetings some scenarios for 4th. I think these are all possible scenarios but use at your own risk @Dave Goddard . Rospiggarna If They win tonight or if the manage atleast a draw combined with if Lejonen doesn't score more then 47 points tonight and don't win the runoff for bonus point. Lejonen for forth: If Rospiggarna only manages a draw or looses combined with Lejonen scoring at least 47 points tonight and win the run off for the bonus point. Lejonen if the manages a draw (45-45) and Rospiggarna looses (44-46 or worse) which will result in both teams having 21 team points but Lejonen a sligtly better quota; Lejonen 729/711 = 1,025316455696203 Rospiggarna 723/712 = 1,015449438202247 Vetlanda if they defeat Lejonen with really big scores and combined with Rospiggarna scoring low points. Theoretically possible but unlikely IMO. Finishing 5th or 6th Does not matter and won't give any advantages.

I haven't seen any news about him.

No mention of tomorrow's tv meeting. Did you here anything @Dave Goddard ?

Berntzon will ride tomorrow despite his crash in Poland.

Iversen pathetic again.

Wtf? Lindgren was clearly head by half a wheel. *edit just the graphics dude not being awake.

Nice ride by Lindgren,

Iversen way too wide and opens the door for Kubera.

............and finally no rain. Should be a fairly good meeting today, we'll see if Iversen is awake today.

Premiersports shows it live.

C-more Live, 18.50 Swedish time.

Line up for Monday's meeting. http://www.speedwaynyheter.se/laguppstallningar-indianerna-vetlanda-6-9/

Grigorij was suspended from 2017 to 2019 for a doping violation and IIRC it was not Grigorij who were the reason for the denied VISA but their father or uncle or something like that.

Icehockey is on Sportkanalen so speedway will likely be on one of the C-more live 1-5 channels + web stream.

Yeah, that is correct. I don't remember what it was but was but I don't think it's related since Artem participated in the 2019 British Grand Prix. I think it's more likely to be related to lack of support from the Russian Speedway federation. Both Laguta brothers boycotted the SWC a number of years ago for that reason.

There are some really good fights going on. https://www.svemo.se/Sporter/Resultat/Speedway/Serier/BAUHAUSLigan2021/Serietabell/ Västervik or Dackarna both have 26 p but Västervik currently has a better quota (won divided by lost points) with 734-616 = 1,191 vs. Dackarna's 775-665 = 1,165. Dackarna have to rely on Smederna to beat Västervik with a large enough score so that Västervik's quota will become worse then Dackarna's for Dackarna to be able to finish second Lejonen and Rospiggarna have a fight for 4th were Rospiggarna currently has 21 p vs 20 for Lejonen. Lejonen races at home against Vetlanda while Rospiggarna races away against Piraterna in the final round. Vetlanda or Indianerna for 6th. Both teams have two more meetings to go. Vetlanda are currently 4p ahead of Indianerna.

Indianerna-Vetlanda on Monday, no mention of Tuesday's tv meeting.

He had signed in Denmark and Sweden and Poland and then the Polish clubs announced the one more league only rule and as I said Klemetz said riders are concerned about further and harder restrictions from the Polish. True, nothing has changed yet but that also doesn't mean that nothing will change. I wouldn't be surprised if the Poiish Ekstraliga clubs would announce such a restrictions.
