IMO Lebedevs, MJJ and Pawlicki + one more for Smederna for the nominations but who? Lindgren, Chugnov or Miedzinski?

Heat 12 was the first time Hampel was replaced by a tac sub at Smederna's track.

Attendance 4500.

Mjj brain freeze. He just overtook kk on the outside and then goes for the inside and gets passed.

Technical errors in the referee box.

A long and successful career, not sure he gets much rest though. I'd say there is some pressure on him to get involved with Rospiggarna since he is from Hallstavik.

First heat was delayed due to a medical issue with a spectator. @Dave Goddard

I can also guarantee that we won't have a rain off tonight. Still really warm, around 20-25 C maybe. Track has been watered plenty but dries up fairly quickly.

Other news today is that Andreas Jonsson have decided to retire.

One can say the same about Chugnov.

Of course not, probably not even top 40. My point is not that is subjective but rather that you cannot put an = between GP-rider and top 15 in the world which some are doing.

But how do you know who the 15 best riders in the world are? IMO just because you are in the GP-series it doesn't make you a top 15 rider. If Aspgren would have qualified, would he have been among the 15 best in the world? I'd say no. IMO current top 8 + Woffinden and Doyle are likely to be the 10 best in the world but behind them I'd say that there are a whole bunch of riders that are of similar quality where their day form would decide who the better rider is.

IMO no. Let them sit out a year or as for situations like Tai's there is wild card.

Run off for 1st and for 3rd it seems.

Heartbreaking for Aspgren and really disappointing for Michelsen. Possible Mikkel might be considered for a wild card. One also have to wonder if this was Harris last attempt or if he will continue to bother?

Start list Swe U21-final. http://www.svemo.se/sv/Grenar/Speedway/Nyheter/JSM-finaliSpeedway2019/ Woentin, Hjelmland and Hellström-Bängs are the favourites but Anton Karlsson could be a contender as well.

Such a shame to see Pawlicki intentionally trying to lower his average.

Luckily there are no meetings at Eskilstuna, Sannahed, Hallstavik or Avesta because it sure is raining here.

Västervik choose to meet Indianerna. Indianerna - Västervik and Smederna - Lejonen on Tuesday. Then second leg on Thursday.

The draw for the QF:s will be made after tonight's meeting. Västervik can choose between Lejonen and Indianerna as well as whether to start home or away and Smederna will also be allowed to choose if to start home or away.

I think Västervik will pick Indianerna. Lejonen have been quite strong lately (except yesterday but Hampel did not ride). FB video of Jimmy Jansson during yesterday's last heat: Smederna vs. Piraterna highlights: https://www.elitspeedway.com/gamecenter/qWV-9yeBjjwHy/articles/post

Västervik and Smederna both at 25 p but Västervik have a slightly better point quota, about 1,07 vs 1,05.

Gutted for Woentin in heat 4. He was leading for 4 laps but Iversen past him on the finish line.

Indianerna - Masarna aborted after 10 heats. Results will count. Smederna - Piraterna still haven't started. They have been grading for two hours of which the last hour at the start area. However it was just announced that we are go for launch.
