Thanks for the reminder, I forgot to add the information even thought I thought about it just before pressing send. I will also be going to Avesta on Tuesday,

Round 12 Preliminary line-ups: All meetings start at 19.00 Swedish time. Rospiggarna (39) - Dackarna (51) #televised on Freesports.

Their opponents are also allowed to use a weaker team and have also committed to not use the strongest possible team. Smederna have therefore elected to rest Iversen tonight and instead give Linus Eklöf a chance.

SWC at Gorzow is a million times better than a glorified pairs event at any track. And SWC at any decent track is a much better event than a glorified pairs event at any track

Iversen won so Smederna now have two riders that won their respectively national individual titles on the same night.

I think this what one could have expected. The individual Swedish championship meetings aren't that attractive and it also rained allot this morning and there were still lots of showers in the area. So maybe 3000-3500 if the weather had been good.

Freddie Fred Perry Lindgren took his first Swedish individual title. He was fasted from the tapes and pulled away from the rest. Ljung initially second but made a mistake, dropped to last but then managed to pass Kim Nilsson for third. Oliver Berntzon was second. Heat 19, 20and the semi final was pretty good racing but overall racing wasn't anything special.

According to some information I just heard SON will be at Manchester and SWC with be at Gorzow. I stillthink that SON should be scrapped and that Best pairs should be WCH pairs.

Still raining but not as intense as a few minutes ago. Will still be a while until racing resumes.

We just had a quick but intense rain shower. Its stillrraining a little and It'll be a while until racing can resume. Quite low attendance as well, probablyless than 2K.

Track is very dry and the start is too crucial. The first heat after the gradings have been decent but otherwise lots of from the gate. Imo they are too cautious with the watering. They have watered the track but it needs more water.

I definitely thought it looked like top 2 to the final but the rules (*10.15.5) says top 3 to final and 4-7 to race for it in a semi final. Theo Johansson won the youth title, Ludvig Selvin beat Casper Henriksson in a run off for silver.

I have to take back what I said. I assumed that DK had the same as us where the position in the final as the decisive factor. DMU twitter says Jacobsen 3rd. DMU U21 DM FINALEN OUTRUP 1 Andreas Lyager 2 @JonasJeppesen3 3 @JakobsenRacing

Youth final might be delayed. It's still raining and it will likely continue to rain for another little while. Update 10.30 CEST, it stopped raining now. Update 11.00 CEST, youth final new start time is 11.30.

You are right about that but I didn't notice that we changed it. Anyway the weather forecast said no rain but they somehow forgot the rather large thunderstorm that is currently passing by. it's raining like crazy now ....

Joel Kling won the U21 final. Alexander Woentin was second after 20 heats but fell in final. Big final starts at 16.00 CEST. Youth final starts at 11.00 and both can be seen live at Speedway play.

Seifert was 3rd. Jacobsen either had a TT or engine failure in the final.

I think MJJ and NP would like to have a word about it. NKI have been allot of up and down this season. If he is having a lesser night and MJJ a very good night then MJJ might it.

Rain is expected from around 4pm and the entire evening until around 11pm, about 10mm during 4pm to 23pm

It's the complete opposite. A good gater will benefit from stricter rules since he will do a good start anyway. Roll-starters will not benefit from stricter rules because the will be called back if they roll. I don't understand why some don't understand how standing starts work compared to rolling starts. Name any sport that currently uses a standing start that allows chance starts? Not F1, not MotoGp, not WRC, not WRX, not swimming, no athletics. The start is about reaction on a start signal not about chancing. I agree that inconsistency is a problem but like H.A. says above it can be solved by transponders. I personally would use them together with the tapes not instead of.

Official video from the event

I have once seen all 4 riders getting excluded for the 2 min violation (and yes I have mentioned it before). Unfortunately some fans starts complaining that the referee should be more lenient and that "we want to see four riders in each heat", even if the rider is far away from the tapes (for whatever reason). Imo it's the opposite. A referee cannot be lenient or start bending rules because then the riders will stop respect the rules. I think the all 4 back is similar. Once you are lenient the riders will use it to get a restart when they don't get a good start.

Filip Hjelmland crashed at the Oslo qualifier the past Saturday and according to to a message on his FB he suffered internal bleedings which caused him to loose allot of blood, four injuries on his back/spine and gluteal muscle damage. He underwant ob emergency surgery during Saturday/ He is doing ok though and have been up a bit, sitting and walking. The injuries will take 2 months to heal after which rehabilitation will start. http://se.aktuellspeedway.eu/2018/08/01/hjelmlands-skada-allvarlig-opererades-akut-for-inre-blodningar/

The Swedish referees are pretty strict too.

Laguta white off 1 and Lindgren red off 3.
