Smederna seals the deal with 5-1 in heat 12. 14p with nominations remaining.

Apparently some sort of camera man accident at Vetlanda.

6 heats completed at Eskilstuna and 2x 5-1 for Smederna and 2x4-2 for both teams. Smederna are looking very fast but track, especially Woryna, very dry despite watering so a bit hard to pass.

If you have comments or complaints you can email Mikael Karlsson who is the section boss for track racing. https://www.svemo.se/Sporter/Speedway/Kontakt/

yeah, as I have said before the team managers and referee have a meeting at 17.30

The referee does not do the web updates. This is done by a designated updater from the hosting team. The updater sits in a room adjacent to the referee box since the referee is supposed to be alone. The referee communicates the results of each heat to the updater who then puts the results into Svemo TA.

Rospiggarna have made a change in this squad where Kudriashov has been replaced by Jonas Knudsen.

Kim Nilsson and Joel Andersson will be track reserves at Målilla.

The world's oldest, now living, ice racing rider Olle Åhnström turns 102 years old today.

12+1 from Pontus Aspgren in his debute for Rybnik.

Dackarna will use R/R for Thorssell. Jensen and Doyle cannot be used for RR.

Pontus Aspgren has signed with Rybnik. http://www.speedwaynyheter.se/pontus-aspgren-klar-for-klubb-i-polen/

17th July is tomorrow (Saturday).

I read on Valsarnas FB feed that Jesse Mustonen has been suspended.

Good news is that Thorssell escaped without fractures. https://m.dagensvimmerby.se/sport/speedway/e/98592/gladjebesked-thorssell-klarade-sig-utan-frakturer/

Pontus Aspgren will be the wild card for Målilla after finishing 2nd yesterday.

Jacob Thorssell crashed in today's Swedish final and is suspected to have suffered a fractured shoulder. https://m.dagensvimmerby.se/sport/speedway/e/98562/extra-dacke-stjarnan-kraschade-i-sm-borta-en-manad/

For Målilla the winner of the Swedish final tomorrow will be given the wild card.

Johannes Stark (track reserve) has pulled out of tomorrow's SM final. Joel Kling will take Johannes' place as second track reserve.

Actually now that I look it up. Rospigg is a modern spelling of " rosbyggiar" which is someone (byggare? (settler)) living in Rosen (old name for Roslagen). However I have a weak memory of seeing a wasp related to Rospiggarna.

To simply things, almost every name has a local connection one way or another, either geographical names or professions with local connection.

Njudung is another local geographical name. It's the name of one of the small medieval provinces which together was designated små land (Småland) and one of this provinces was Njudung,. https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Njudung https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folkland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Småland#History Skeppare is a commander of a smaller ship, but in this case people working on the shipyard that once existed in Västervik.

Dackarna is most certainly not ducks. Dackarna is named after south Swedish rebel Nils Dacke and Dackarna was his followers. Mas|ar(na) is a nickname for people living in the province named Dalarna. Vetlanda and Västervik do have other names as well. Vetlanda is/was also known as Njudungarna and Västervik is also known as Skepparna.
