Piraterna, Motala 19p 7: Rospiggarna, Hallstavik 19p 8. Smederna, Eskilstuna 8p 9. Indianerna, Kumla 3p 10. kaparna, Göteborg 2p. top 3 playoff safe (top 6 goes into play offs) Smederna in "no man's land" with 8p ( but we'll get 'em next year ) Bottom fight: Indianerna 1p ahead of kaparna, They meet on thuesday, Kaparna needs to win with atleast 67-38 for a re-run for the bonus point a smaller victory means that its 100% certain that the "redskins" stays in the highest league. Even if Kaparna manages to pass indianerna in the standings they are in the danger of being thrown out from the highest league see this thread for more info: http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/ind...showtopic=36618 there are only 3 rounds to go and they look like this (courtesy of speedway.nu) Round 16 - 21/8 Västervik - Rospiggarna Piraterna - Dackarna Smederna - Hammarby Elit Vetlanda - MasarnaAvesta Kaparna - Indianerna Tävlingsomgång - 28/8 Indianerna - Västervik MasarnaAvesta - Kaparna Hammarby - Elit Vetlanda Dackarna - Smederna Rospiggarna - Piraterna Tävlingsomgång - 4/9 Dackarna - Rospiggarna Smederna - Elit Vetlanda Hammarby - Kaparna Västervik - MasarnaAvesta Piraterna - Indianerna ill give you the rest tomorrow.

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.

Yeah BIG THANKS Mateusz!!!!

I agree i think Toninho would benefit from a year off from the GP series and its not a too wild guess that Fredrik Lindgren will take his place.

Swedish Elitserien team Kaparna have had their application for an Elitlicense for the 2008 season rejected by Swedish Motorcycle Sports Federation; SVEMO. The Decision can be read in this file (pdf file, in swedish) http://www.svemo.se/file_out.php?id=2034 kaparna has been struggling this year especillay finacially. One of the reasons for that is the lack of hometrack and that they several times have been riding with a line up who's total average has been lower then the determined "floor average" resulting in heavy fines. Also they have had alot of "sickness" in the team and like yesterday riders who dont show up. The rejection was decided since there was several uncertainties about kaparna's finances and arena situations and kaparna have not replied SVEMO who several times have sent inquiries about those questions. Among other things Kaparna have not used certified auditors(?) meaning that the financial report cannot be approved.

no i said JAGODA!! does anyone know if he has recovered from his illness?
