well you have to manually look up all Swedish statistics at either Speedway.nu or at: http://essupdate.elitspeedway.nu/ also sportowefakty have statistics but it doesnt seems to have been updated since august, http://www.sportowefakty.pl/img/stat/statelitserien2009.htm *edit* some statistics is available here: http://www.aktuellspeedway.se/sverige/start.php

i found this article at Sportowefakty about Ostrow wants to be a "swedish" team? Can anyone of the polish speaking members nake a brief translation? http://www.sportowefakty.pl/zuzel/2009/10/...b-w-elitserien/

well henry the article claims that these are the 4 riders that will be awarded a WCs. DN is usually a reliable news paper but their sources in this case are Freddie LIndgren who said that a Torun boss told him that he and those other 3 will get the WCs. "-one of the bosses in Torun, who have got a GP next year, told me that i will be awared a WIld Card for next season. i aksed him if it was certain to a 100%. He said that it was certain to 400%." The article then says: "the other riders that will be awarded a WC are Hans Andersen, Danmark, Tai Woffinden och Edvard Kennet, England."

http://www.dn.se/sport/wild-card-och-guld-...ndgren-1.982184 according to this article the 4 wcs have been awarded to Freddie Lindgren Hans A Tai a and Edward kennett. how the h**l can they award a mediocre rider like Kennett a permanent Wild Card?

Masarna/Gasarna have signed the following riders: Eric Andersson Alexander Söderholm Simon Lindh-Åström David Nielsen Jimmy Börjesson Fredrik Andersson Anton Rosén Masarna are also negotiating with Maksim Bogdanovs, Artur Mroczka and a new unnamed rider.

Greg have decided to ride for Piraterna next season: http://www.norrteljetidning.se/sport/artiklar/id/11698

i dont know of any dates but maybe the thread below can give you an idea about when the SWC might take place. http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/ind...showtopic=50574

Greg Hancock have decided to leave Rospiggarna after 15 seasons. Grerg says that he have several good offers and that Piraterna or Vargarna is the most likely new team at the moment. Dackarna are also interested in Greg. http://www.norrteljetidning.se/sport/artiklar/id/11676 Mikael Max will continue to ride for Lejonen next season. Although no contracts have been signed yet, Mikael and Lejonen have reached an agreement about the contract. http://www.sr.se/cgi-bin/jonkoping/nyheter...artikel=3186100

f-s-p well i disagree with you about all your claims. Antonio have scored 148points from 15 meetings / 81 heats in Elitserien AL 2010 will be 7,31 (148/81*4) Lindgren have scored 127p from 14 meetings. / 70 heats. FL 2010 will be 7.26 (127/70*4) In Poland Lindgren is sligthly better with 107 points from 14 meetings/ 63 heats Antonio have 108p from 14 meetings and 73 heats. FL have made it to two finals from 11 attempts AL reached 1 final and 1 semifinal on hos two WC appearances and he was in the lead in GBG when the heat was stopped Freddie had several chances the past Saturday to take the points necessary to finish top 8 but he didnt take those chances and finished outside top 8. The GP qualifications well as said before JD gave Zorro a free point which meant that AL got knocked out and Zorro made it to the final. So the question is what you have been drinking if you say that AL haven't done anything. IMO its wrong to say that any of them is better then the other at the moment. I am not saying that AL should be picked over Fl just that BSI/IMG might consider it and unless you are a part of those who pick the 4 seed riders i dont see how you can say that its wrong?

he did qualify in the semis although it was thanks to a somewhat strange incident where Zorro, in his final heat, managed to pass Jonas D in the last bend becasue Jonas D slowed down. Intentionally or not well who knows but it also meant that It was Zorro who took the last place in that semi. If Jonas D had beaten Zorro in that heat it would have been ANtonio who had gone through. It is correct though that Zorro was given a free place in the semi.

Andreas Jonsson wants to move home to Rospiggarna and Rospiggarna wants him. The problem is that Rospiggarna only have managed to find enough funding to be able to offer him a one season contract while AJ wants a contract for several years. AJ says that its looks difficult at the moment but that he and Rospiggarna are continuing to work hard to find a solution. http://www.norrteljetidning.se//sport/artiklar/id/11628

tnks

the question should rather be asked how many of those who have qualified for the GP via the GP Challenge have managed to finish within top 8 vs. how many of the WCs that have managed top 8? the three latest seasons (2007 first season with riders from GPC): 2007: Riders entered via GPC: Jagus, Holta, Andersen (Jagus missed out on top 8 The other two were in) Riders entered via WC: Nicholls, Lindbäck, Bjarne, Harris (Nicholls the only in top 8) 2008: Riders entered via GPC: Iversen, L.Dryml, B.Pedersen (none of them were top) Riders entered via WC: Harris, Jonsson, Lindgren, Kasprzak (Jonsson the only in top 8) 2009: Riders entered via GPC: Bjerre, Walasek, Ulamek (Bjerre the only in top 8) Riders entered via WC: Nicholls, Harris, Lindgren, Emil S (Emil S the only in top 8) that makes: 3 out of 9 GPC riders managed top 8 3 out of 12 WC riders managed top 8

Peter Karlsson have reached an agreement with Dackarna have signed for them. http://www.dackarna.nu/default.asp?c=main

Adrian Miedzinski have signed a two year deal with Vargarna: http://www.folkbladet.se/nyheter/artikel.a...ticleid=5011265

Chris Holder signed with Lejonen for two more years. They have been agreed for a while but Holder didnt sign until now.

Nicki was on the inside line when Gollob smashed into him then Nicki replied by taking Gollob wide. If Gollob had kept his line without going in towards Nicki the incident would not have happened there fore Gollob is the cause of the stoppage as he was the one who initiated the situation in the first place.

I'm not that sure that Lindgren will get one, i think Lindbäck might be a contender for "that" WC. The remaining two well Laguta and Richardson maybe?

he did not. It was Gollob who smashed into Nicki on Both occasions. 1st start Gollob went in towards Nicki, smahes into Nicki and then tried to lean all over him but failed and Nicki took him wide. 2nd Start Gollob had the 2nd place but went too wide and a gap occurred on the inside Nicki moved into and when Tomek tried to close the door Nicki was already to far infront of Gollob who ran into Nicki backwheel.

On the contrary it is highly deliberate and i cant see how you can question my picks or is your opinion worth more the anyone else's?

havent decided yet but if i go to any gp at all it will most likely be Gotheburg. But i dont know if i am that thrilled by it. The city is nice but the track is a piece of sh*t and i wont go just because of the city since i visited Gothenburg at the end of June the past summer.

can i ask about who Sönke Petersen is?

so i heard there has been really poor weather in Poland with lots of rain and snow will this affect the gp?

Indianerna is the third team that intends to incorporate. It is new tax rules which is the need for incorpotaion of some teams According to Indianerna they will not sign any riders before how much they will have to pay for them. Valsarna have signed Krzysztof Jablonski. Jablosnki came to Valsarna during a transfer window the past season and has been their best rider. Regarding THJs suspension: In The League Rules chapter 1 part 4 (1.4) it says that a rider have to apply for a starting permit from SVEMO if he/she wants to race in a foreign league. The requirements to obtain such a permit is that the riders participating in a foreign league must not interfere/intrude on that riders obligations to ride in the Swedish series system, in championships and other official international meetings where the rider represents his country and svemo. THJ had a QP qualification meeting to ride in at the Saturday but instead of going there he decided to goto Poland to race in their league and by doing that he violated that particular rule since the foreign league meeting intruded on his participation in the GP Qualifiers. So Svemo only followed their rules when they penalized THJ. Although imo it could have been enough with 1-2 weeks suspension.

could you motivate your pick? I mean is it because if his good performance in all three leagues or is it because his good score at this years GP at Cardiff?
