I voted for Darcy Ward, Laia Sanz and Tomasz Gollob

Grzegorz Zengota have signed with Indianerna.

Ludvig Lindgren have signed with Valsarna http://www.vf.se/sport/speedway/lindgren-klar-valsarna

Nässjö Speedway (NSK) will be able to purchase the mandatory airfence that is needed for arranging competitive meetings on their track. Nässjö speedway have been granted to back NSK with a financial guarantee so that they can take a loan at the bank to purchase the airfence without jeopardizing the clubs activity. http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=91&artikel=4172652

yeah good news

The Laguta brothers stays with Valsarna. http://www.vf.se/sport/speedway/broderna-laguta-stannar-i-valsarna

i don't know any exact date or so but i would guess sometime during january-february

Ludvig Lindgren have signed with Rospiggarna in Allsvenskan however while riders like AJ and Jonas D skips the EL, Ludvig will combine Allsvenskan and England. http://norrteljetidn...for-rospiggarna

However today Svemo have made another 180 degree turn and finally decided that Hammarby will not be allowed to join Elitserien for 2011. Hammarby though have decided to take the matter to the Swedish CAS. http://www.svemo.se/...elitserien2011/ http://www.eurosport.se/speedway/bajen-fick-nej-fran-svemo_sto2536564/flashnews.shtml

http://www.nt.se/spo...ticleid=6399866 there is not yet any info why Svemo suddenly have made a 180 degree turn, however it is believed that the Swedish RIN, which is like a Swedish CAS, might be behind the decision since Hammarby have said all the time that they would fight for their right to a place in Elitserien.

latest news is that svemo will meet on Monday to clear out all rumours regarding Hammarby.

yes, he will stay with Piraterna (see first page)

Sure there are still riders that have not signed with a team but imo not enough rides to fill the remaining positions. here is the situation the following team need the following amount of riders; (main squad+ guest riders) Dackarna 1+3 EVS 1+0 Ind 2+3 Lej 3+3 Pir 1+1 Vals 7+3 Varg 0+1 Väst 7+3 Hammarby 8+3 which is 30 main squad riders and 20 guestriders

i think its right that Hammarby as winners of the Allsvenskan play off are offered a place in Elitserien. However SVEMO should have done it from the beginning and not when there is just 3 weeks until teams are to be registered. How is Hammarby supposed to be able to find riders now? Currently even without Hammarby there are three teams that are far from finished, Lejonen, Valsarna and Västervik ad a 4th team to that and well there really aren't that many rider good riders left to sign. and The pricetag on them just went up. I think its very unfair for Hammarby to be told that they now must find riders for Elitserien when many teams already have filled their squad.

Chris Harris have signed with Västervik which means that 2011 will be his 6th consecutive season with them.

another quite sad news is that Billy Forsberg have decided to give up is career. He took a year off from speedway this season due to injuries and because Gdansk owed him money (they still do). Billy says that all his stuff is for sale and that he will continue with his "civilian career", BIlly still have some time left as plumber apprentice before he can become a certified plumber. http://www.nt.se/sport/artikel.aspx?ArticleID=6396627

and Kauko Nieminen stays with Rospiggarna in Allsvenskan. http://norrteljetidning.se/sport/speedway/1.1000924-nieminen-stannar-i-rospiggarna

Daniel Nermark stays with Valsarna and he is joined by Victor Palovaara. http://www.vf.se/sport/speedway/nermark-och-palovaara-klara-valsarna

yes they did. In Sweden riders always have two averages: first the starting average which is used when calculating riders averages towards the average cap. The other, which is the rolling average, is updated after each meeting and is used to decide which two riders, in the picked 7 rider lineup, that will be reserves. The two riders in the 7 rider lineup with the lowest rolling averages will be reserves. Also a rider needs to start in 16 heats to get a new valid starting average for the following season. here you have the 2006 & 2007 averages (the new ones are not linkable) the first average is what theystart with and the second is the rolling average. http://www.speedway....sp?Luxo%20Stars http://www.speedway....tt.asp?Dackarna

well Chris don't thank me, thank bajen Rob at masarnas guestbook he's the one who found the info in the first place. I just re-formatted it and translated it.

so i have received info for you: for 2010 and earlier years: an example: AJ starts with 8.45 before 1st meeting which is both match, starting and rolling average before 1st meeting. in 1st meeting: 9p from 5 heats: ((9/5)*4)=7,20 7,20 = new match average number of rounds 16 8,45[rolling average]x16+7,20-8,45[starting average]/16=8,371=8,37 for 2011 AJ 2.112 before 1st meeting.which is both match, starting and rolling average before 1st meeting. again 9 points from 5 heats: and this season 14 rounds. 9/5 = 1,800 = new match average (((2,112 [rolling average]*14 [number of rounds])+1,800)-2,112 [starting average]/14 [number of rounds]=2,0897=2,090)

I can guarantee that Ludvig will get a place in Elitserien next season. From what i have read he is negotiating with several teams. Personally i hope he signs with Indianerna. nope not with Vargarna, the same goes for Daniel King who have had a very poor season. Ludvig will receive 0,838 and again he WILL find a place i would be very very surprised if he didn't find a team place for next season Averages for next season can be found at this link: http://www.svemo.se/...ultHandler.aspx non-Swedish riders that have not been riding in the Swedish league system will receive the same average they have in their home league. Also Australian riders is considered to have the British Leagues as their home leagues, however i am not 100% sure about that or if some leagues are valued differently or not valid for designating their riders averages in Sweden. Previously SVemo have ranked the British and Polish league at the same levels as their Swedish Equivalents but i am not sure if they still are. if a rider doesn't have a home league or if that league is not valid for getting Swedish averages the rider will be appointed a 1,250 average (5,000/4) this is the only info i can find: http://www.aktuellsp...st=series&id=56 http://www.aktuellsp...rom=&ucat=0107& ---- Some other news. Piraterna have signed Jesper B Monberg as a regular rider and Niklas Klingberg as a guest rider according to http://www.piraterna.se/ Jonas Messing have signed with Griparna

an article and interview with Posa: http://svt.se/2.21335/1.2217408/posa_62_satsar_pa_enduro?lid=senasteNytt_1891271&lpos=rubrik_2217408

Maksim Bogdanovs have signed with Vargarna. This means that their regular squad is full but they still have on guestrider slot available,

hmm interesting. Even if Aspegren is a good talent, Dackarna needs a good reserve but they dont have room under the average cap for that if hey going to use all the riders thay have signed so far.
