well Cardiff is a much different type of track. It was kinda expected that Torun would be good but that doesn't mean that a temporary track like Cardiff will be at the same level regarding quality of the racing entertainment.

nothing broken for holder.

perhaps now would be a good time to fix that hole?

there were no 4th rider in those heats.

i think he was ex'd for dangerous riding.

correct. Next meeting is away against Hultsfreds gymnasium on Sunday, don't know if it will be streamed.

Mark, Nicholls have been awarded WC's 6 times. He was awarded WC for the following seasons: 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2009 in 2004 and 2007 he managed top 8. In 2007 by knocking Harris over, in the re-run for 8th place

judging bu that report it seem that Indianerna only had 6 riders so there was no nr7.

Krzysztof Buczkowski will replace Sebastian Aldén in Rospiggarna until Aldén has recovered from his broken arm.

i think i read that he would be absent for at least two months. IMO neither Freddie Lindgren or Chris Harris should be awarded a WC if they misses out on top 8 and the same goes for Harris Both have had many chances to qualify for top 8 but have failed each time so if they're not top 8 or in via qualies they shouldn't be in for 2011. They cant rely of a WC year after year like Nicholls did.

he rode as nr6 for Nässjö.

Jacek Basinski, one of Billy Hamills former Polish mechanics who now resides in Eskilstuna. He acquired a Swedish license last season and starting to ride for Ikaros Smederna (Team Bikab) last season.

I think it good to see that there are other riders then "The old usual" that are at the top of the leaderboard and more important the last couple of years the title was almost decided already by this time of the season. I think now that Jarek got his first victory, i think he can ride a bit more "relaxed" in the later stages of the GPs since the mental pressure on him to win his first gp is gone. Anyway i hope that someone of the current top 3 will take the title.

There has been another rule change in Sweden. Svemo have decided to allow teams to replace injured riders whenever they want and an unlimited amount of times. Previously teams only were allowed to make one switch for the entire season. http://avestatidning...-speedwayforare Also dont forget these two things tomorrow: Full gas med Magnus "Zorro" Zetterström, which is Zorro's radioshow.

at the moment i would think that these 5 riders that Jenn has writen are the ones that will make the team and they are also those that i would pick at the moment. However lets not forget someone like THJ who havent had the chance to prove himself that much yet in the leagues due to his 1 month ban. PK have said a few years ago that it is time for the younger ones to ride in SWC and that he have done his part.

live streamed division1 speedway: Filbyterna vs. Ikaros Smederna http://qrodo.com/eve...67-a0defcc97dce edit* Alan why dont you use Google Translate? see this link. next meeting is on Wednesday June 9th, at 19.00 Swedish time. Also look at the calendar on the right to find the dates for Ikaros Smederna's (Icarus Smiths in English) meetings.

Svemo have taken a decision to compromise a little regarding the demand for airfence and "formplyfa" on some type of tracks. The type of tracks affected are so called "practice tracks" which is not in regular use but only used for practice/learning. This means that tracks like, Örebro, Täby (Stockholm), Östersund and Bollnäs can continue as before. http://www.racemcsport.com/nyhet_spec.aspx?NyhetsID=843&Sport=speedway

i think Smederna will show some of their away meetings as well but it depends on the standard of the internet connection., just keep an eye on smedernas website on race nights and you will notice if they have a stream or not. Oh and Robert Pettersson was suspected to have broken his thigh bone but examinations showed that the bone was not broken. However Masarnas Pontus Aspgren had to pull out of the ongoing allsvenskan meeting between Masarna and Hammarby after a crash. Pontus probably have broken a collarbone.

latest news is that Gnistornas Robert Pettersson have a broken tigh bone. The other three riders escaped uninjured.

reports says that all 4 involved in the crash in Eskilstuna are back up on their feets. And yes i think Ikaros Smederna will try to broadcast all of their meetings this way. look at the calendar at ikarossmederna.nu for their meetings and the links to the live streams (different link for each meeting) will be posted at I.Sm. website.

unfortunatley there has been a crash in Karlstad in the Allsvenskan meeting between Solkatterna from Karlstad and visitors Masarna from Avesta. Sources says that Sebastian Aldén (Masarna) and Robin Törnqvist (Solkatterna) have collided. Aldén probably a broken wrist and Törnqvist a severe concussion and hip pains. Both will be taken to hospital in Karlstad. The crash happened in Heat 14.

last years spectator statistics (from speedway.nu): Dackarna....... 4255 Lejonen..........3800 Indianerna......3452 Elit Vetlanda...3338 Västervik........3138 Piraterna .......3111 Vargarna........2508 Rospiggarna...2473 Smederna......2163 Smedernas home meetings were held early in the season before they went broke and the weather wasn't especially good at the first 2-3 meetings. And the final home meeting at Vargarna, which was held at a sunny June evening, attracted 3183 people and their lowest attendance was against Rospiggarna when only 1400 showed up.

the swearing in Swedish terms aren't really that bad but there aren't any English word that you could translate it to.
