yeah i think those very well could be the ones claiming the 3 available places and i hope they do. If they however dont manage to qualify i wouldnt be surprised if they got a WC instead. Especially KK and Schlein.

actually the meeting is on Saturday. But its a good question, at the moment its expected to be cloudy with showers atleast the rest of the week. with improving weather at the beginning of the next week. You can keep an eye on the weather at this website: http://www.smhi.se/cmp/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=103&l=en

not many. I think it is 3 places. Top 8 in SGP is direct Qualified, another 4 gets season WC and the final 3 riders is qualified via gp qualifications.

Im not especially surprised. Rory has been showing a really good form over here in Sweden.

hey cool. I think this is what the sport needs. some intrest from countries that "nver heard" of the sport.

Im not 100% sure who al those are but i know Jagus is seeded and "Pepe" is seeded. I could be the four riders who rode last years final?

no i think q4 definitely is looking stronger then the other three Quarters. In Q4 you will find riders like Jonas Davidsson, Fredrik Lindgren, Jesper B Jensen, Kenneth Bjerre, Pawl Hlib, Mikael Max and Damian Balinski. Allthough the other Qs have good rider as well like Schlein, Ulamek and Pepe in Q3 or Kris Kasprzak, 2x Dryml and Hampel in Q2 i still think Q4 is the hardest with Q3 as the second hardest and Q2 as the third Hardest and Q1 as the easiest

The krasch between kaspar and Lukas Dryml in heat 5 have resulted in that Kasprzaks mechanic "warned" Lukas that something bad was going to happen the next time he was in Poland. http://tv4nyheterna.se/1.127526/sport/2007...kas_dryml_hotad

Kaparnas Match was held at the track in Hagfors i think the name of the track is "Tallhult". Also Kris Kasprzak is Injured again. He was striked by Lukas Dryml and Despite that KK rode tyhe restart and won it he didnt ride anymore tonight. The firsdt reports is a broken rib and it looked as he felt some pain at the lower part of his back. He might be out for a short while.

too bad "Buczek" and "jedski" didnt do better. I know Buczek has been injured but Jedski? Nice though that Tomas and Ricky both managed to qualify for the final.

according to google earth the distance to Eldarnas track is 12km from Flemingsberg. and Örnarnas track is about the same distance from Mariestad.

http://www.espeedway.pl/live2_.php at the url above you can follow the 2nd semi-final from Daugavpils. The Event starts at 17.30 CET .

i would like to say well done Simon Gustafsson.

i agree on Buczek and Risager

there is also another factor and that is the reputation of a rider. If we have two situation where the circumstances are exactly the same in the same meeting can we trust the referee to take the same decision both times regardless who the riders are? Lets say we have two riders (x and Y) that are closing in on the corner. X is on the Inside and Y is on the outside slightly behind X. X slides the back of his bike out to prepare for the corner and hits Y and Y falls. The questions is would the referee(s) judge different depending on who the riders are? Lets say its X's fault. If Nick Pedersen is X and Leigh Adams is Y I'm quite sure that the referee would exclude and possible also warn Nicki. However if it was the opposite, if Leigh is X and Nicki is Y what would the referee judge? Exclude Nicki which is consider by many to be "mr bad guy" or exclude "Mr nice guy" Leigh Adams? Yeah definitely. the press has written quite quite much about Kenny's and Robin's accidents and the safety in speedway. Some columnists who normally never ever even mentioned speedway suddenly become experts and have demands that the sport should be forbidden and all the other bla bla bla. sometimes it feels this new rule is just for silencing the press. But we will find out in Tuesdays if the new rule is good or bad.

My personal opinion on this is both good and bad. Its good that they try to deal with the dangerous riding that occasionally occur but there's a big risk that the referees will take this a step too far. Where is the border between tough and rough? I also think that the referees wont be consequent and some ref's might allow fairly dangerous stuff while others might give warnings for things that are ok. What if a rider gets a good start from gate 4 and are in the lead when he closes in on the corner. What should he do try to take the inner line through the corner and risk getting a warning for dangerous riding or should he stay on the outside and try to keep the bike upright in the "dirt" which usually are to be find close to the fence? In yesterdays meeting between Indianerna and Kaparna, Rafal Dobrocki took the lead and when he got to the first bend he had a good lead and as every other rider would have done he decided to "cut" and head for the inside line through the corner. However the referee stop the heat and excluded RD for "dangerous riding". I did not see this meeting live but IMO that's sounds quite ridiculous shouldn't he be allowed to take the lead? If like half of the riders in a meeting gets warned for trying to overtake and try to claim the lead in a normal way I think we would be better without this rule. If they are to strict they will ruin the sport.

Swedish Motorcycle Racing Association, SVEMO has decided that a new system that is based on warnings of similar kind that we see in football will be implemented in Swedish league speedway. The new rules will be "activated" already on Monday. The new system means that referees can warn a rider if the ref considers him to have performed a dangerous maneuver (unsportsmanlike conduct) the referee can/should give that rider a warning. IF the rider gets another warning in the same meeting he will be excluded from the rest of the meeting and also the next meeting. If a rider from an earlier meeting has 1 warning and gets 1 or 2 in the next meeting he will be excluded from the next meeting as well. In the latter case the riders warnings will be removed after his excluded meetings. This new rule is put into action as a result of the recent accident of Robin Johansson and the tragic accident where Kenny Olsson lost his life.

150? hmm i thought all teams charged 120kr which is £8,64.

Yes and Eric Andersson will most likely be put in Smedernas Allsvenska team, Team Bikab since we can still use him in Smederna as long as his average is below 5.00. Rory will be the Team Captain. or actually i think he already is the new Captain.

Well i dont know where you got those averages from since they are not correct. if you want to know the attendances for each meeting then take a look at this: http://www.speedway.nu/2007/publik.asp?Elit Averages: Dackarna: 4516 Elit Vetlanda: 4129 Västervik : 3103 Hammarby: 2524 Smederna: 2519 Piraterna: 2464 Indianerna: 2463 Rospiggarna: 2262 Masarna: 1578 kaparna: 1362 the total average for the the Elitserien is 2567. some teams have had 4 home meetings so far while others only have had 3. The highest attendance so far during a league meeting from the 2001 season and onwards is 8353 which was at Smedernas home meeting against Masarna in the 2003 season. actually this is Elitserien (elitleague) and not allsvenskan.
