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.

So the tractors are finally leaving the track. Hopefully we'll get some speedway now but i am not entirely convinced yet.

Stopped raining so maybe start around 19.15.-19.30.

Pouring down so this won't start until at least 20.00 if it goes ahead at all.

Well you know an official source linked is always good.

FIM just posted this on FB:

IMO Smederna - Piraterna doubtful or atleast delayed due to rain.

I think they will end like this: Ros-Lej Smed-Pir Ind-Mas Vet-Väst Ros-Pir Dack-Mas Dack-ind That would make: Lejonen +3 Smederna +2 Indianerna +3 Dackarna +6 Vetlanda +3 Piraterna +4 Final standings would then be 1. Dackarna 29 2. Vetlanda 27 3. Västervik 25 4. Lejonen 25 5. Smederna 25 6. Indianerna 21 7. Piraterna 16 8. Masarna 9 9. Rospiggarna. 3rd ,4th and 5th would be decided by points quota and I think it will be advantage Lejonen due to facing Rospiggarna. Currently Västervik have 1.1218354430379746835443037974684 -> 1.122 Smederna have 1.0485584218512898330804248861912 -> 1.049 (I think) Lejonen have: 1.0350076103500761035007610350076 -> 1.0350 So smederna have a little better at the moment.

Michelsen, Fricke and Lambert would be the three I hope will qualify.

Smederna will use R/R for Lindgren (claimed to have a knee injury).

No it's a bit east of Målilla, on the coast. Http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Stockholm&daddr=Västervik&geocode=FStLiQMdZLQTASnLC2QZMXZfRjFmd51n0ycNqA%3D%3D%3BFRNQcQMdL9z9ACnZ0XKKQUJYRjG69bt3S2nUZg%3D%3D&dirflg=d
