Not surprised, but still very stupid that RR can be used for everything nowadays.

At Sannahed/Kumla, the sun is shining but still raining.

Dackarna will use RR for Jacobsen today too. Speculations whether Zmarzlik will appear at Norrköping or not tonight. Vargarna's track is usually not well liked by Polish riders, particular not by those who are lesding SGP.

Smederna vs Dackarna was very one sidled, not sure what was going with Dackarna. Smederna were really hot from the gate and Dackarna were usually beaten already the first few meters. In a few heats Dackarna had 5-1 from the the tapes but after 1 lap (or less) Smederna had taken to front. Not much racing tonight so the only overtaking that happened was when Smederna sligthly missed the gating and had to work a little to win. The most celebratory that happened is that Anton Jansson scored his first heat win in Elitserien/Bauhausligan. I had to do some research and now that I have checked it tonight's 3p in heat 2 were indeed Anton's first ever in 500cc league racing for Smederna. For those of you who doesnt know who Anton is here is a brief summary. Anton's father is Jimmy Jansson former rider and team manager for Smederna. Jimmy's father (Anton's grandfather / farfar) is Bo Jansson (former speedway rider). Bo's brother was Tommy Jansson (speedway rider, rode for Wimbledon and died in 1976). Tommy's and Bo's father was Joel Jansson (speedway rider). Anton is thereby the 4th generation speedway rider in the Jansson family. Very impressive if I may say so.

Smederna is 20p up already with only 7 heats completed.

I think everyone.

Replaces Oscar Polis.

No Iversen for Vargarna this week as they claim NKI needs more rehabiltation. More info to come.

No, it is scheduled for 6 August. Also Dackarna will use RR for Jacobsen.

Double round this week with meetings on Wednesday as well. As always line-ups will go live at 21.00 CEST (46 hours) two days before the meeting.

Smederna and Philip H Bängs have agreed to loan PHB for the rest of the season to Rospiggarna. At the same time PHB signed for Smederna for 2026. As PHB leaves Smederna's squad Jamrog is reregistered for Smederna.

The round in Randers have been taken over by Slangerup. Randers announced a while back that they would be unable to host this event. https://dmusport.dk/slangerup-er-ny-arrangoer-for-u21-dm-og-pairs-250cc-2025/

Remaining meetings. https://www.elitspeedway.com/match

Next week there is a break so no meetings. League continues in two weeks with another set of Back to back meetings including Smederna - Dackarna on Tuesday and Indianerna - Smederna on Wednesday.

Before tonight's meeting Västervik had a 31 meeting win streak at home, so basically undefeated in 3-4 seasons until tonight.

Jevgenijs Kostigovs is wild card and Francis Gusts and Olegs Mihailovs are track reserves.

Kasperi Ahvenainen will replace Jonny Eriksson as nr 7 for Rospiggarna tonight.

The Danish duo ends the night with a 5-1 against Freddie Lindgren and Rob Lambert Good win for Smederna despite one extra heat for both Lambert and Lindgren.

Madsen and Drabik secures victory for Smederna with two heats to go with a 5-1 against Smektala and Freddie Lindgren.
