That heat 7 from Laguta was some spectacular riding

Yes extra meetings in July is 100% the correct way to go.

Absolutely love this decision to have the playoffs starting two weeks earlier than last year. Getting a few more meetings in the summer, less chance for rain and better weather hopefully which will lead to better attendance, really happy about this.

Yes 8 maximum squad members with an offical average. The number of allowed 0,5 riders is unlimited.

2 swedish riders in the lineup is the requirement, in theory the swedes could be at number 1 and 2 so no necessity to be at number 7.

Cheers for that one lads! Close but we will take it!

I'm curious, if you were in charge of making the handicap, what would you make the line?

Very different from account to account. Tried to get a little more down on the -8 but was able to bet 300. Was able to get some on the heat 8 -4 and so on. If you can only choose one of the over/unders which one do you lads fancy the most?

Think I just made that go down to 8/15 from 8/13 after trying to get the max bet down...

Maybe keep a wildcard in case of injury. What about top 7 in the SGP qualifier gp through and then we have 1 wildcard plus the SEC winner and if the SEC winner is there then we have 2 wildcards.

Big change for next year is we are going back to the fixtures taking place on Tuesdays only. One reason for this is Poland wish to utilize thursdays as a reserve day. This was understood by the swedish organisation but they have then as a "counter offer" expressed their wishes that Ekstraliga riders should be allowed to race in 2 leagues other than Ekstraliga rather than the 1 other that is currently allowed.

The only 2 riders that are confirmed for Dackarna next year are Filip Hjelmland and Ludvig Lindgren. They go in with an average of 0,5 as there is discount in place for swedish riders with an average under 1,000 which automatically puts them on 0,5 just as last year.

Apparently they got this one wrong, there was 5124 in attendance. 3624 paying and 5124 including youths and free tickets for sponsors and such

That was also the only time he made a sem final.

Yes otherwise we could have got a more fun and better rider in that wildcard in my opinion

As much as I would have liked to see someone other than Thomsen a problem was also the unfortunate fact that Holder and Fricke made it through the qualifier. Fair play to them but Fricke only reaching 1 semi and Holder two this whole season I would have liked to see someone other than them

Two fair points. Still think my point about the stats stand. Also think Thornblom over 2 is an okay bet, will add tho that last week he rode as a reserve and got 5 rides, today he is at number 4 and start with the outside gates his first two heats

If all Lejonen riders are undervalued then maybe just play Lejonen with the handicap as they are correlated. Also are these stats that relevant because in almost all these meetings the opposition are clearly inferior to what Smederna put out tonight?

Top 6 GP challenge Dudek Vaculik Doyle Woffinden Michelsen Then for the last one I think it's either getting a third dane in or a fourth Polish rider. Kubera, Thomsen, Rasmus Jensen, Kolodziej should all be considerd in my opinion. Of course this changes if russians are again allowed in but I read somewhere that the wildcards are announced tomorrow so they are problably not getting in.

Tai Woffinden rides for Vastervik next year

Definitely disagree on that one, as someone else mentioned, way better on the big polish tracks compared to the smaller ones, however not just a gater in my opinion. Remember us disagreeing on Kolodziej before the SEC as well when you compared him to KK and Lindback which I didn't agree, you might be underestimating him. I mean if winning the SEC isn't enough to prove himself then what is...

Well the way Kolodziej have been riding in this years SEC and in the leagues there is a very good chance he will bring something

I think all clubs in Sweden you get in for 16-20 pounds. Don't know for everyone else but at my local track i Målilla it's free for everone under 18.

Today hasn't been completely horrible in terms of racing however the inbalance of the starting gates ruined the night
