thats right but the only 4 new Gps that Ole mention in the article was Torun, Oz, NZ and Malaysia.

If i understand him correct there will be a 3rd GP in Poland at Torun and in addition to that: Australia, New Zeeland, Malaysia,

well we kinda understood something like this were coming when he got his new "deputy" Tony Olsson.

the results and info for the 2nd leg of the QF's have now been updated.

According to his Swedish team's website Swedish junior Anton Rosén made a good first appearance for Esbjerg yesterday evening. She scored 11+3 from 6 rides.

Tai were supposed to have been riding instead of Screen but apparently felt quite ill after his ride on Monday and Screen was the only one who was able to make it from England to Sweden after Tai had phoned the team manager at about 00.30. But i agree on that Tai should have been picked because of his crash 3 days ago. It would have been better to put King in from the beginning so that Tai could have got a day or two's rest even if he said on Sunday that he felt fine.

former Smederna rider, young Slovak talent Martin Vaculik will replace Karol Zabik in Elit Vetlanda for the rest of the season. Normally new riders are not allowed to be brought in outside the transfer windows but exceptions is allowed when the new rider replaces a long term injured rider. The change is also permanent for the rest of the season and the replaced rider is not allowed to be used again during the same season. http://www.elitvetlanda.nu/index.php?page=...ge=1&id=226

i uppdated the info and standings for Elitserien.

Vetlanda shouldn't be THIS week even without Lee. Good though to see that KimN is riding well.

Hammarby's team manager and sporting director Fredrik Edberg (FE) have been sentenced to 18 months in prison, for fiddling with the taxes, by Stockholm City Distric Court. The sentence concerns that FE did withhold taxes, employer fees and that FE also have withhold to report, a withdrawal of total 700'000kr in salary from the company to himself, in the tax return from. http://folket.se/sportfolket/speedway/1.457892

teams placed 1-3 picks between the teams placed 4-6. The the teams with the highest total score+ best loser advances to Semifinal. In the semi finals the team that won with the biggest victory margin will meet the best loser. if Two teams have the same margin the team with the highest placing in Elitserien's final standing will meet the best loser. Then obviously the two semi final winners will meetin the final In case of a tied score in the return meeting the team managers will nominate three pairs to ride in at most the three "sudden death heats". If the first heat ends 3-3 there will be a second heat. If that heat also ends 3-3 a third heat will take place. If the third heat also ends 3-3 there will be a 4th sudden death heat to which each team manager nominates one rider+ a rider to be used as a reserve for the nominated rider. This means the 4th SD heat will have one rider from each team.

i somehow doubt that BSI will get rid of one of the permanent tracks that actually is one of the most profitable.

It hasnt been released to DVD and i dont think it will be either.

Because my brain was quite tired when i wrote it

Elitserien Playoffs 2009 Quarterfinals: Tuesday September 8th: Indianerna - Elit Vetlanda (tv meeting) Indianerna: Magnus Zetterström (1,3,1',0,0,1) 6+1 Piotr Protasiewicz R/R Grzegorz Walasek (3,2',3,3,2,1) 14+1 Jesper B Monberg (3,1,0,2,0,3) 9 Rune Holta © (1,2',3,0,1,2) 9+1 Leon Madsen (2,2,2,0,1,3) 10 Simon Gustafsson Niklas Eriksson (0) 0 David Rohén (0) 0 Elit Vetlanda: Lee Richardson (2,2,3,2,3,0) 12 Peter Ljung (0,0,1') 1+1 Jaroslaw Hampel (1,0,2',1,2',2) 8+2 Patrick Hougaard (FX,1) 1 Jason Crump © (3,1',3,3,3,3) 16+1 Robin Aspegren (1,0,1') 2+1 Thomas H Jonasson (3,0,2,2,1,0) 8 Anders Mellgren - Results link 1 Results link 2 comment: Indianerna started the meeting very well and was at the most 10p ahead (after 9 heats) but Vetlanda managed to turn things around and was 2 points up with 2 heats to go. At this point i think many thought that Vetlanda would win it but thanks to a 4-2 in heat 15 and 3-3 in heat 16 Indianerna managed to reach a tied score at the end of the meeting. IMO it was very good performance from Indianerna when you have in mind that neither Protasiewicz or Simon G could ride. I am pretty sure that Vetlanda will win the return meeting at home next week. The question is if they will keep the scores down to become best loosers. Personally i dont think they will since they have to ride without Pepe. --------------------------- Dackarna-Lejonen 47-49 Dackarna 47 Kenneth Bjerre (3,2,0,3,2) 10 Hans Andersen (2',3,1',2,0) 8+2 Fredrik Lindgren (2,2,3,1',2) 10+1 Grzegorz Zengota (0,1',2,1') 4+2 Andreas Jonsson © (1,R,2,2',0) 5+1 Ludvig Lindgren (1,1,0) 2 Krzysztof Buczkowski (3,2,1,2) 8 Niklas Larsson - Lejonen 49 Nicki Pedersen (1,3,3,3,3) 14 Mikael Max (0,0,2',0) 2+1 Chris Holder (1,3,3,0,1) 8 David Ruud © (3,2,2,0,3) 10 Piotr Swiderski (3,0,2',1,1) 7+1 Anton Göthberg - David Watt (2,0,1',1,3,3) 10+1 Christian Agö (0,1) 1 Results link 1 Results link 2 comment: A but surprising lejone won away against Dackarna thanks to a good team effort although Mikael Max only scored 2+1. For Dackarna especially Andreas Jonsson's 5+1 is way to little for Dackarna to be able to win. Ludvig's and Zengota's scores also was too weak. Its very uncertain if Dackarna can go through to the semi finals. Lejonen is a strong home team and Dackarna have to ride much better if they are going to have ay chance of becoming best loosers. ---------------------------------------- Vargarna-Västervik 57-39 Vargarna 57 Adrian Miedzinski (3,1,R,3,1) 8 Adam Shields (2,3,M,1) 6+2 Scott Nicholls (1,F,1,2) 4 Adam Skornicki (3,1,3,3,2') 12+1 Krzysztof Kasprzak (2,3,1,2',3) 11+1 Kim Nilsson (1,0,0,3) 4 Tai Woffinden (3,2',2,2',3) 12+2 Jonas Andersson - Västervik 39 Bjarne Pedersen (1,3,2',1',3,0) 10+2 Tomasz Gapinski (0,3,2,2,1,1) 9 Chris Harris (2,2',3,0,0,0) 7+1 Niels-Kristian Iversen (0,0,3,2,0,2) 7 Tomasz Gollob R/R(?) - Anton Rosén (0,1,0) 1 Kevin Doolan (2,1,1,0,1) 5 Pontus Aspgren - Results link 1 Results link 2 comment: As expected Vargarn won their home meeting in the quarterfinal. Although i think that the victory margin was larger then expected. Vargarna started very well and pulled away initially. Västervik managed to close the gap but after the interval something happened with Västervik and Vargarna manged to pull away easily to a 18point victory. Even if vargarna is a very strong home team Västervik should not loose with 18p. They did miss Gollob and Laguta but riders liek Harris and Iversen should do better then 7 points each. Västervik will have a tough task next week if they want to be in the semi finals. Both Gollob and Gregory Laguta is expected to be back in Västerviks team for next weeks home meeting. --------------------------------------- Tuesday September 15th: Lejonen-Dackarna Lejonen 55 Nicki Pedersen (1',2,3,3,3) 12+1Mikael Max (2,2',0,1) 5+1David Ruud (3,3,0,0,0) 6Chris Holder (1,1,3,2',2') 9+2Piotr Swiderski (1',1,3,0,1) 6+1David Watt (3,2,3,3,2',3) 16+1Christian Agö -Anton Göthberg (0,1) 1 Dackarna 41 Kenneth Bjerre (3,0,0,3,0) 6Grzegorz Zengota (F,2,2,R,1) 5Fredrik Lindgren (2,2,1',R,1',3) 8+2Hans Andersen (0,1,2',2') 5+2Andreas Jonsson (3,3,2,1,2,1) 12Ludvig Lindgren (1',2) 3+1Krzysztof Buczkowski (2,0,0,0) 2Niklas Larsson - total score Lejonen 104 - Dackarna 88 Lejonen through to the semifinal http://www.speedway.nu/2009/reportNY.asp?ElitF.EA ---------------------------------------------------------- Vetlanda-Indianerna Vetlanda 52 Lee Richardson (0,3,1,0,2) 6+1Martin Vaculik (3,2,0,3,0) 8Jaroslaw Hampel (3,2',1',2',3) 11+3Patrick Hougaard (0,3,2,1) 6Peter Ljung (0,1',0) 1+1Thomas H Jonasson (3,2,2,3,2,3) 15Sebastian Aldén (2',1',0,2') 5+3Robin Aspegren - Indianerna 44 Grzegorz Walasek (2,0,0,1) 3Magnus Zetterström (1,1,2,0) 4+2Piotr Protasiewicz (2,1',2',3,3,1') 12+3Jesper B Monberg (1',3,2,0,0,1) 7+1Rune Holta (3,3,3,3,1,2) 15Simon Gustafsson (R,0,0) 0Leon Madsen (1,1,1) 3Freddy Godlund - total score: Elit Vetlanda 100, Indianerna 92 both Elit Vetlanda and Indianerna are through to the Semifinals.

Vargarna to semifinal. Västervik misses the the best looser place in the the semis with 2 points. comment: Västervik had the chance for Semifinal but blew it. gapinski wasnt start ready when replacing Bjarne and is excluded for 2min violation. In Heat 16 Västervik had 5-1 and then 4-2 but because (i assume) of poor team riding they loose the heat and their semi final place with two points. -------------------------------------- Semifinals: Tuesday September 22nd: Vargarna - Elit Vetlanda Indianerna - Lejonen ----------------------------------------- Wednesday September 23rd: Elit Vetlanda - Vargarna Lejonen - Indianerna ----------------------------------------- Dates for Elitserien playoff 2009: Tuesday September 8th QF, first meeting Tuesday September 15th QF, return meeting.

Daniel Nermark rode his first meeting in Sweden after his injury but he only rode two heats and scored 3 points. Mikael Max and Antonio Lindbäck was in a class of their own with 14p from 5 rides and 16 p from 6 rides respectively. The first leg of the Semifinal which now is the 2nd leg was supposed to have been held last week but it rained off and will be held tomorrow. The previous meeting this season between this two teams at Solkatternas hometrack ended with a big win for Solkatterna (57-39) however Örnarna did not have Mikael Max then and Daniel Nermark was not injured (i know he rode tonight but his scores suggests that he was not entirely fit). I am unsure of what the lineups will look like as there are no official lineups available. But i think it will be a close meeting tomorrow and that Linus SUndström who is riding in England tonight might be available. Some rumours are that either of Jeleniewski or Janoskwiski might be replaced by David Ruud but i am unsure if he will fit under the average cap. ----------------- Valsarna-Hammarby 55-41 Scorecard Valsarna 55 Krzysztof Jablonski (2',3,3,2,3) 13+1 Robin Aspegren Robin Törnqvist (3,3,0,1) 7 Kauko Nieminen (3,3,1,0) 7 Daniel Davidsson (2',0,0,) 2+1 Sebastian Aldén (2,2,3,1',1) 9+1 Robin Törnqvist Anders Mellgren (1,FX,3,3,3) 10 Ted Hagansbo (3,2',0,1,1) 7+1 Marcus Broquist - Hammarby 41 Andrej Karpov (1,2,1,1,3,FX) 8 Tero Arnio (0,0,1) 1 Martin Smolinski (1,2,2,2,3,0) 10 Pawel Miesiac (0,1,2') 3+1 Pawel Hlib (3,1',3,2,R) 9+1 Freddy Godlund (0,0,0) 0 Alexander Edberg (2,1,1',2,2) - total score: Valsarna 103, Hammarby 89 Valsarna to the final. comment: 1250 spectators saw Valsarna qualify for the final and ElLitserien with a 14 point victory tonight. So a welcome back to Elitserien to Valsarna!! Valsarna were forced to do some changed compared with the original lineup since Robin Aspegren crashed yesterday in a Division 1 meeting. However Robin Törnqvist who was moved up to nr2 and Anders Mellgren was stepped in at nr 6 both did a good job in this meeting and Valsarnas victory was never jeopardized. ------------------------------------------- Friday September 11th: Solkatterna - Örnarna 44-52 Scorecard Solkatterna 44 Antonio Lindbäck (3,2,3,3,2,3) 16 Jeremia Thelaus (1,1,0,1) 3 Magnus Karlsson (2,1',0,0,1) 4+1 Michael Jepsen Jensen (1',2,1,2',1',2') 9+4 Peter Juul (1,2,0) 3 Oliver Berntzon (2,0,2,0,3) 7 Albin Näreby (1',1) 2+1 Thimm P Norberg - Örnarna 52 Norbert Kosciuch (2,3,2,2',1) 10+1 Christian Agö (0,0,1',0) 1+1 Mikael Max (0,1,3,3,2') 9+1 David Ruud (3,3,3,3,0) 12 Ronnie Jamrozy (3,2,1',1,3) 10+1 Jonas Nilsson (0,R) 0 Anton Göthberg (3,2',0,3,0,2) 10+1 - Totalscore: Örnarna 105 , Solkatterna 87 comment: Solkatterna without Nermark (injured) and Linus Sundström wan not able to win over Örnarna who took the lead with a 5-1 in the 4th heat. Solkatterna managed to get back in heat 11 and was only 2p behind but Örnarna was too strong with Mikael Max and David Ruud.

might as well post in the correct thread, pretty boring event. some good heats though. Next gp will be even worse i suspect.

the racing will get better when the track dries up a bit.

there seems to some concern regarding the weather since it started to rain in målilla around 17.00 swedish time. this is a rainfall radar picture from 20 minutess ago and it looks like the rain will have moved away if not til the start so atleast maybe to maybe 19.30-20.00 Swedish time.

reports says that it has started to rain less then 10km from Målilla

from what i have heard from poeple in Målilla, no rain yet. A quick look at the radar images : http://www.smhi.se/cmp/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=9444&l=sv and it looks like that most of the rain might pass south of Målilla

a pretty hilarious article about tonights GP. http://mvt.se/sport/speedway/1.534757 The reporter claims that AJ will not ride because of injury and the he will be replaced by Peter karlsson and that Sebastian Aldén is riding for Dackarna First of all AJ will ride as he have been feeling well for a week. Second even if AJ would not ride PK would not be anywhere near of replacing him (either GP first reserve or track reserve). Third Sebastian Aldén rides for Elit Vetlanda and Valsarna.
