Summary of Round 16 in Swedish Elitserien. Smederna - Hammarby Smederna 1. Krzysztof Kasprzak 5p 2. Krzysztof Buczkowski 4p 3. Rory Schlein 14p 4. Robert Miskowiak 3p 5. Wieslaw Jagus 8p 6. Morten Risager 3p 7. Linus Eklöf 6p 8. Robert Henderson 43p Hammarby 1. Jesper B Jensen R/R 2. Tomasz Gapinski 11p 3. Nicki Pedersen 16p 4. Martin Smolinski 5p 5. Scott Nicholls 10p 6. Kim Nilsson 0p 7. Adam Shields 8p 8. Robert Pettersson 3p 53p A Great meeting. Smederna had the advantage after 10 hetas with a 6p lead until the referee excluded Kasprzak for loosing his Dirt deflector about a minute before the start of the 10th heat. The Referee excluded kaspar some 5-6 minutes after the heat. and a 6p lead became a 2p lead. in Heat 11 Linus Eklöf and Morten risgaer screwed up a 5-1 lead in the first corner to a 1-5 heat lost. Smederna never managed to repell after this and evetually lost with 10p. Despite 16p (6 heat) from Nicki i think that Schlein was the King this evening: Rorys score againt Nicki and Nicholls: heat 3, Easy win from Schlein over Nicki P = 1-0 Schlein heat 6 Schlein well ahead of Nicholls = 1-0 Schlein heat 8 Schlein AND miskowiak scores a safe 5-1 against Nicholls and A Shields. = 2-0 Schlein heat 16: Nicki wins easily Schleins passes Nicholl on the finish line =1-1 Schlein Nicki and 3-0 Schlein-Nicholls.

He is not suspended. his swedish team PIraterna's coach said that he will not put Bjerrre in the team for the rest of this season. Bjerre has also said that he dont wont to ride for Piraterna any more because of the way he was treated. I also read somewhere that Piraternas coach Fredrik Staaf actually admitted, to a direct question about Bjerre being a troublesome boy, that he didnt consider Bjerre to be more troublesome then other riders in the team. so it could be that there has been some dissatisfactions growing for a longer period of time and that teh accident was the final thing that made "the bomb go off". *edit* i forgot to say that since the accident there are reports that a lot of people have been writing obscene comments and or threats in Bjerres guestbook (which now is closed). some of those comments were written in Swedish so i guess that doesn't really make the relation between Bjerre and Piraterna better,

AJ did his first practice yesterday and he will most likely ride tonight and unless things go wrong again he will be riding on Saturday.

Tnx mateusz. /G.w.

i found the following text in a swedish guestbokk, can anyone translate please (unlesss its to awful)?

its official now that Team Bikab will be closed/cancelled after this season.

well i would guess that PZM thinks that KK have gotten his penalty with the fine and that they consider to be the one who deserves the WC the most after his ride in the SWC final. where he was the best scoring polish rider.

i Think Hungary would be a good place to go to. Dont know if they have good permanent arena or if its more appropriate to use a bigger stadium like the Nep Stadium?

about airfence its not strange, its expensive most clubs cannot afford it. And also SVEMO is looking on some other alternatives since air fences isnt 100% perfect either (remember Ales Dryml?).

fsp sorry if this has been asked before but how does the future look? do you have "a lot" of young prospects (names please )and how is speedway "rated" as a sport in finland = is the intrest among people/media week or strong or somewhere in between?

ok thnx Mat.

Looks the Smederna boys KK and Miskowiak together with the Pirate Balinski and unassigned Batchelor managed fine without Adams. also does Kasprzak jako ZZ. mean KK rides R/R for Hampel?

Its far from certain that Bikab will ride in Div.1 either. There has been spekulations in media about a possible cancelling of Bikab to put all focus on Smederna.

Yeah Jagus had a great NIght at Bydg. last year and it seems like he finnally is getting 100% again in the Gps after his crash in Eskilstuna in May.

Ok Sorry Mat.

Polish Commentary http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...VideoID=2662936 English commentary if i'm not mistaken Gollob also had a superb heat against Tony R the same night and i think Gollob won that one as well with a centimeter or two.

was pretty good as well.

well thing is kaparna has nothing to do in any league at the moment although Rander will claim the opposite. If Kaparna dont ride in the Elitserien next year either if their appeal will be rejected or if Indianerna finishes ahead of them in the standings, Indianerna will stay in Elitserien. TKp will adavance to Allsvenskan if they win Div.1. if Filbyterna wins they'll advance. And Team Bikab will sadly drop down to Div.1. unless the decision is to cancel the team.

If you dont know how should we know? ;P I've never heard of him. apparently he rides for Lejonen in Swedish Allsvenskan, 28p on 4 meetings.

yes i think so too, Mat what do feel about a Norwegian winning the Polish champs? If it would have been in Sweden i would have been very upset.
