That is not entirely correct. He suffered a heavy concussion so he should be a out for a while. No way he should be riding for the nearest 2-3 weeks if Mikael Teurnberg's words are true. Obviously Fricke will but he shouldn't play with fire.

Heavy concussion so he should be out for a while. Imo he should be forced to rest for two weeks minimum. Concussions are really dangerous if not properly respected/rested from. According to his Swedish team manager, Frick could move but seemed completely gone. He then sat in the pits for 30 minutes before going to hospital for check-up. http://unt.se/sport/valdsam-krasch-och-ny-forlust-4716430.aspx

Here was my prediction for team and bonus points for this round: Omgång 12 - 1 augusti Elit Vetlanda - Rospiggarna (48-42) 1 Bonus EV +1 Indianerna - Piraterna (40-50) x Bonus Pir +1 Eskilstuna Smederna - Lejonen (42-48) 1 Bonus Lej +1 #tv-meeting Masarna - Dackarna (45-45) 1 Bonus Mas +1 The result is that I had one error and that was the X between Indianerna and Piraterna. All other results went with my prediction. How did you do R&R? Injury update: https://www.vetlandaposten.se/article/livechatt-elit-vetlanda-rospiggarna-18-45/ Vaculik seems to have suffered a severe hand injury. Vaculik's hand was "demolished" according to Vetlanda's team manager in the inked article. Deep flesh wounds in the hand and on the knuckles but likely nothing broken. Max Fricke likley suffered a heavy concussion according to Mikael Teurnberg. http://unt.se/sport/valdsam-krasch-och-ny-forlust-4716430.aspx

race off

Fricke and Vaculik was taken off track by ambulance and both were replaced in their following heat. I don't have more info at the moment. Neither of Vaculik and Fricke is riding in heat 10.

I agreee, Sannahed is a good track and also ny favourite track in Sweden. Smederna are struggling (2 p up) and this Tungate dude is bloody fast. 3,3,2,1 so far and he has 3 heats remaining.

For Smederna - Lejonen, Holder is riding but RR for Pawlicki.

Sure they could but how much would it cost to rent the stadium? I suspect that 30-40k fans Isn't enough to get a positive (financial) result from such a gp.

I also think it will depend on tonight's results. However I made some predictions in this post: http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=84753&p=3000128 Lejonen-Dackarna seems like the most logic choice next week, however if Lejonen wins tonight and Dackarna loses then I don't know.

I don't think there is room for two large stadium-GPs in Britain and I also think that the rent for Wembley and the Olympic stadium is too high i relation to how much income BSI would get from a GP held at either stadium.

Hjelmland isn't really a new guy. He rode 3 heats in 1 meeting last season and 3 heats in 1 meeting two years ago. MIllberg is new to me as well.

A video of Nicki practising at Lezno https://youtu.be/84jlBU1YqDs?t=51 From this article https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/701765/zobacz-trening-nickiego-pedersena-w-lesznie-wideo

Nicki says that his heart wants to ride speedway but that he listens to what is being said. He says that he will have the polish X-rays with him back home to Denmark and then we'll see what the Danish doctors are saying. https://www.bt.dk/motorsport/nicki-pedersen-mit-hjerte-vil-koere-speedway-men

I agree he should BUT it is easy for us to say. He isn't the first sports person to try and cling on too their career. I believe Nicki when he says that it isn't about the money. It is about being afraid of what will happen after the career. What to do after the career, about being "forgotten".

Nicki's physioterapeut says that she recommend Nicki to retire. "Lisa mener nok, det er klogest, at jeg stopper. At jeg skal overveje, om det ikke skal være nu. Og det er selvfølgelig et råd, jeg tager med i mine videre overvejelser Nicki Pedersen om sin fortrolige og fysioterapeut, Lisa Thomey" Nicki also says that he if do decided in favour of a comeback, it won't be because of money. According to the article, Nicki is worth approx 50 million Danish kroner which is about 6 million GBP. http://www.fyens.dk/sport/Fysioterapeut-til-speedwaystjerne-Nok-klogest-at-stoppe-Nicki/artikel/3170543

He already said that he want to have the surgery as soon as possible so that he could get a few meetings before he goes back to California for the winter break.

There might be a new reserve rule next season. http://speedwaybloggen.smt.se/2017/07/27/manga-fordelar-med-ny-reservregel/

Greg had an MRI done and it shows that he will need a surgery to fix his shoulder injury which likely means that he'll miss the rest of the season. Article might be behind a paywall. http://mvt.se/sport/har-ar-beskedet-om-piratstjarnan-om4753197.aspx He dislocated the shoulder during practice and the he/his team popped it back into location but the shoulder dislocated another two times which severed the injury. Greg is considering several options since the Swedish doctor he normally use is on vacation. Greg even considers flying to California to have a surgery done there. Once the surgery is done, the shoulder will need 6-8 weeks to heal properly.

It depends on if Smederna is allowed to replace Laguta quick enough which doesn't seem likely at the moment.

Imo Doyle will have a few bad rounds as well. Maciej already had his.

C more's tv-broadcasting deal expires after this season and according to Speedway racing, neither Cmore or anyone else are interested in continuing to show live from the Swedish Elitserien. There are several though that are interested in showing some form of shorter summary afterwards. Clubs seems to think that the best solution would be SVT (Swedish equivalent of BBC) since it would likely attract the highest viewer count which would be attractive for sponsors.

Oliver Berntzon broke a collarbone yesterday and will be out for a few weeks. https://www.vetlandaposten.se/article/bekraftat-nyckelbensbrott-for-vispen/

I dont think its likely but who knows? I want to see your prediction now.

In general for all/world speedway. 1. as cohesive regulations as possible for all leagues. Most other league sports have the same rules/regulations while speedway have very different rules from one country to another.Rules/regulations such as R/R , tactical substitute and etc. 2. No league should be allowed to block riders from riding in other leagues. If there are to be restrictions, they should come from FIM after all national federations have approved such regulations. Restrictions of number of leagues a rider can ride in is preventing a rider from earning money. 3. Stricter enforcement when preventing inured riders from riding. I want to see healthy riders not injured riders who might be a danger to both themselves and others. Concussion (comotion cerebrI) should be an automatic 1-2 week "rest ban". severe concussion (Contusio cerebri) should be 3-4 weeks resting ban. A briken arm will heal in about 6 weeks but a brain that have been concussed might not heal at all, especially not if concussed multiple times. If really unlucky concussion can cause life long damage to your brain. 4. Much better co-operation between national federations/leagues when it comes to schedule planning, priorities and etc. Swedish Elitserien suffers greatly because it is almost impossible to find a suitable date for postponed meetings because there are rarely any date where there aren't a meeting in GB, DK or Poland. Also if R/R is used for a rider one evening he shouldn't be allowed to ride the next evening. Like Robert Lambert who's English team used R/R for him on Monday evening while he rode without a problem yesterday evening. For the Swedish leagues I would like to see a merge between Elitserien and Allsvenskan because there are not enough teams to support two leagues now. I would also adjust the strength of the league so that teams would have 2 international stars and 1 decent foreign rider per line up and then 3-4 Swedish riders (depending on using 6 or 7 riders teams). The issue would be that the weakest Allsvenskan team is too weak compared to the current strongest Eltserien teams. R/R and Tac sub should be removed completely. Simply 7 riders riding 4 heats each. Reserves can be used for 1-5 rider in case of injury during meeting but that should be conditioned by info from track doctor.
