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?

some more league related news. All these news is taken from Svemo's latest Protocol. There will not be any transfer windows during next season. There will still be one just prior to the seaons and the rules that allows teams to replace longterm injured riders. there will be a new playoff system and the "best looser" will not be a part of it. there might possible be a new heat schedule. Elitserien might also look a bit different next season. Perhaps Anders can tell us more as he is involved in it (?). "A-teams" in Div1 will be allowed to have one nordic rider that have a license from a Nordic country that does not have a series system. Thomas H Jonasson is suspended from ALL racing between 2010-04-26 kl. 14.00 to 2010-05-24 kl. 14.00. i do not know why but i think it has to do with THJ skipping a QP Qualification QF and raced in a Polish league meeting. a letter will be sent out to all team where the Club Chairmens/womans will have to sign a letter to assure that their club do not have any rider debts. Elitserien will consist of a maximum of 9 teams despite that SVEMO earlier said that they wanted 10 teams. This could mean that one team will drop out.

some news. Greg H might leave Rospiggarna after 15 seasons. In a news article Greg confirms that Dackarna are interested by him and that he have replied to an offer by them. He also says that he is curious on Dackarna's reply. a comment on that is that it would imply that AJ is intending to move somewhere else and the question is where? Piraterna? Indianerna? Rospiggarna? Some other sources claims that Greg will ride for Piraterna next season and that Piraterna already have signed all their riders. The squad is supposed to be presented at the icespeedway event. Piraterna have also said that they intends to lower their rider salaries with 20-25% and that it possible would mean that riders like AJ are to expensive.

1. i wouldnt mind seeing a few GPs in Asia/Australia in addition to those we have in europe but not instead of the same amount of GPs in Europe 2. I wouldnt mind having as much as 15 GPs. on the contrary more Gp would mean more media attention and it would mean that a rider cannot secure the title after only 4-5 GPs. 3. Who are going to pay for the travelling and transport costs for getting the riders and their teams and equipment half around the world?

Crump Nicki Emil Hampel Miedzinski Andreas J Hans A Bjerre Fredrik Lindgren Antonio Lindbäck Lee Richardson Grigory Laguta Chris Holder Zagar Iversen

you mean in the playoffs? I dont know if there even is a third/fourth place in the playoffs? If there is i would guess that the team that lost with the smallest margin would be third and the other 4th. I will look into it during the weekend.
