Nasty crash for Woffinden in heat 15 .He gets a big rise and falls over. He stays down for a while but gets up and walks back to the pits.

Smederna's Pontus Aspgren and Mikkel Michelsen scores a 5-1 in ht 13 against Pawlicki and Sundström. Big mancrush on Zagar and Aspgren. Zagar and Lebedevs scores 4-2 in heat 14

Matej Zagar, bloody hell he is fast.

Smederna 2p up after 4 heats. Smederna increase their lead to 6p just kidding 8p Smederna 8p up after 7 heat. Zagar and Woffy fastest riders so far.

R/R for Karpov is confirmed.

See the internationel section for more info about the Swedish Elitserien semi finals.

I have no confirmed information, only speculations. Smederna's team manager said to the local newspaper two days ago that Karpov would ride. We'll see though. I am on my way to Avesta now and I'll see if I can get any info once I get there.

Yes of course it is tomorrow. It's only Tuesday.

Tonight's meeting between Slangerup and Holsted is off. It is not possible to re-stage it so it has been decided that it will end 42-42. https://www.facebook.com/metalspeedwayleague/photos/a.116973731662517.17241.113869148639642/1947084501984755/?type=3

These are the possible scenarios. https://www.facebook.com/metalspeedwayleague/photos/a.116973731662517.17241.113869148639642/1946389135387625/?type=3&theater

First post have been updated with Wednesday's line ups.

disagree, the start is about reaction not anticipation.

Line ups are out for Tuesday. They'll be in the first post in a few minutes. Mas - Smed : https://ta.svemo.se/Public/Pages/Competition/CompetitionTeamMembers.aspx?CompetitionId=8735 Ros - Vet https://ta.svemo.se/Public/Pages/Competition/CompetitionTeamMembers.aspx?CompetitionId=8734 Wednesday's line ups will be public by 21.00 CEST tomorrow.

Lebedevs should be ahead of Milik in the pecking order, especially if Andzejs wins the SEC title.

Dackarna-Smederna full Swedish version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJSI0yamDyU This meeting is now listed as the main meeting,

Given Zagar's perfomance in Målilla 4 days ago this was perhaps not that surprising and the same can be said for Janowski.

Kildemand for me.

Pontus Aspgren and Smederna have signed a two year extension on Pontus' contract. http://eskilstunasmederna.se/aspgren-forlanger-med-tva-ar/

Smederna moved up to second place in the attendance league after the quarter finals. Rospiggarna are still in the top about 300 on average ahead of Smederna. http://www.aktuellspeedway.se/sverige/elitserien/publik/

Well, that is sort of the same thing as the discussion about whether the chicken or the egg came first. You could also say/claim that the British riders aren't as good as the Australians because the Australians have pushed the British riders out and leaving the British riders on the sideline. We have the same situation in Sweden where teams have no issue bringing in young talents from other countries at the cost of our own riders getting sidelined. This results in fewer younger riders becoming good -> more foreign riders -> fewer Swedish riders getting the chance ->fewer younger riders becoming good -> more foreign riders -> fewer Swedish riders getting = a downward spiral.

Tonight's meeting between Team Fjelsted-Esbjerg vikings have been called off because of rain.

I think the main reason is that if you start at home then you will usually have a good result to stand on and won't have as much pressure in the second leg.

I agree but one can say the same about Janowski who have been very mediocre in these two qf-legs. He scored 6p last week and 5p this week. That isn't something I would accept from the current 2:nd in the SGP. He is perhaps thinking too much about the SGP.

So next week will be Elit Vetlanda vs. Rospiggarna and Masarna - Smederna. The latter will be a classic derby since the tracks are only about 100km from each other. Tuesday is Rospiggarna and Masarna-Smederna, Wednesday is Smederna-Masarna and Vetlanda - Rospiggarna. We'll see how Smedena deals with the Madsen situation. Like most Danes and Poles he doesn't do well on wet tracks. Ljung - MJJ situation. https://www.svt.se/sport/motorsport/dackarna-smederna/
