Great ride by Freddie.

Highlights from Smederna - Masarna. (preview looks weird but the video works fine).

Either Premiersports or Speedway play, both are pay per view.

Smederna is the only team with 3 wins so far. Really Strong victory where Masarna looked like they could fight back. Smederna were too strong though in the end (as in the previous two meetings) and could finish them off in heat 13. Lindgren's and Iversen's double strike in heat 13 was really delicious. Masarna were 5-1 out of the tapes but the Smederna duo went for the inside going out of bend 2 on lap 1 which saw them pass both Masarna's riders. It was also nice seeing Woentin getting better and better for each meeting. He was really good tonight, even challenging Lindbäck in one heat. Lebedevs is still struggling. He seems to have the speed to some extent but the gating isn't there. Overall a good performance from Smederna tonight. Masarna only have one good rider and that is Tai, I think he opted for the first nomination heat to be able to get a maximum but he made a mistake (was under pressure) which saw him knock Kim Nilsson into the airfence. So far Smederna, Dackarna and Rospiggarna look really strong but it's still very early.

Smederna's attendance tonight is 6011 people.

Fast Freddie, from last to first in 2 laps.

Everyone run for your lives Ivan is coming.

Masarna off gate 1/3 in heat 1. Meeting start might be slightly delayed. Lots of people queuing to get in.

Yes as far as I know. Weather update at 16.25 CEST, warm (hot) and partially sunny/cloudy.

Use R/R. One cannot declare a rider "Long term injured" and replace the rider if the rider rides 2-3 meetings in a week during his "injury".

I assume Nicki will ride despite declared "long time injured" by his Swedish team manager?

Yeah that's right. I re-arranged the order of the meetings and they somehow got mixed up.

Preliminary line-ups for round 3 Meetings always start at 19.00 CEST Eskilstuna Smederna - Masarna (televised focus meeting) Eskilstuna Smederna Fredrik Lindgren Andzejs Lebedevs Michael Jepsen Jensen Mikkel Michelsen Niels Kristian Iversen Krzysztof Buszkowski Alexander Woentin Masarna Tai Woffinden Linus Sundström (K) Przemyslaw Pawlicki Kim Nilsson Antonio Lindbäck John Lindman Adrian Cyfer Dackarna - Rospiggarma Dackarna Greg Hancock Hans Andersen Oliver Berntzon Patryk Dudek Maciej Janowski Joel Kling Pawel Przedpelski Rospiggarna Jason Doyle Robert Lambert Andreas Jonsson Jacob Thorssell Max Fricke Kenneth Hansen Samuel Masters Västervik - Vetlanda Västervik Matej Zagar Grzegorz Zengota Peter Ljung Bartosz Smektala Peter Kildemand Magnus Karlsson Mikkel Bech Vetlanda Szymon Wozniak Tobiasz Musielak Tomas H Jonasson Brady Kurtz Bartosz Zmarzlik Filip Hjelmland Jonas Davidsson Lejonen - Indianerna Lejonen Chris Holder Piotr Pawlicki Maksym Drabik Frederik Jakobsen Timo Lahti (K) Kacper Woryna Kenny Wennerstam Indianerna Vaclav Milik Bjarne Pedersen Kenneth Bjerre Piotr Protasiewicz Anders Thomsen Ludvig Lindgren Victor Palovaara The most creative this week is that Västervik claims that Nicki is long time injured and was allowed to replace him Zagar despite Nicki several days ago said that he would ride on Sunday (yesterday) which he also did. The claim is that Nicki's hand is swollen but IMO the swelling will give in until tomorrow evening and Nicki will surely ride in both the GP and in Poland on Sunday. Västervik should therefore not have been allowed to replace Nicki due "long time injury". If Nicki can't ride then use R/R or another rider. This is cheating. Also Vetlanda have filed a complaint regarding the matter, with the National Swedish Sports association (Riksidrottsförbundet) which is a kind of umbrella organisation for sports (idrott) in Sweden.

Eskilstuna and Kumla will have cloudy weather and the other two will have partially sunny/cloudy weather. It should quite warm though.

5 heats with Michael Jepsen Jensen .

The reason why it isn't done the same season is because there aren't time to fit those meetings in before the first GP and riders needs to have some time to organize themselves. I also would think that league clubs would like to know what rider(s) are going to be riding in the SGP.

Fast Freddie in action

For those of you who uses Facebook. Smederna will launch a thing tomorrow that they are calling Facebook live. It will be a pre-meeting talk up with one of the team managers and one of the rider, just before the team do the track walk.

Warm and sunny weather expected for all tracks. I don't know which is this week's main meeting.

Västervik's Maksims Bogdanovs is injured and will temporarily be replaced by Oskar Fajfer.

Last heat. Iversen vs. Janowski for 4 laps. Iversen's determination when Janowski was past him into the final bend. https://www.facebook.com/eskilstunasmederna/videos/1715786435181504/

The Swedish meeting at Axevalla tomorrow can also be seen online at Svemoplay (PPV and not the same as speedway play). http://www.svemo.se/sv/Grenar/Speedway/Nyheter/FoljlongtracktavlingenpaSvemoplay/

Yeah Stefan Klemetz is a veteran motorsport commentator who works/has worked as motorsport commentator for SVT and C-more. He knows allot about speedway but I think he would need an expert to join him and they should obviously be on location at the track with a reporter doing interviews.

no that is not possible. Heat 13 is the last heat in which you use tac-sub.

Smederna had almost the same amount of spectators as the other three meetings combined, 5431 vs, 6031. However, I do think to an extent that Vetlanda and Västervik might steal some spectators of each other.

Yeah, there is lots of complaint on their facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/pg/speedwayplay/reviews/ https://www.facebook.com/pg/speedwayplay/community/?ref=page_internal I didn't watch this any of the meetings (neither stream or on location since I have an exam tomorrow) so I don't know myself yet if it was good or bad.
