I would imagine that there is allot of pressure on them given that really aren't many Swedish riders around and not many new coming up. Gustav has an average of 0,737/heat which is about 2,5p/meeting. Dont know if was paid by point scored or if he had a fixed sum/meeting. Any how I dont think he earned particular well which makes it hard to keep up with costs which adds to the stress.... Not to be considered fscts. just my opinion and speculation. The only fact is that it's fairly common that riders have a fixed sum per meeting or some kind of ladder payment system.

It was just announced that Johannes Stark moves from Rospiggarna to Indianerna.

Indianernasn U21 rider Gustav Grahn has announced that he is taking a break from speedway. He says that he no longer feels motivated and that he because of that haven't been feeling well. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid022hK1d74EZvUMeTQrvwtdTNZEyFBG5AQVQUiQZ3bUB5oqXjMGfUmo1HaAuruuzkel&id=100063626586572

Thorssell second after Lindgren and thus he is the wild card for Målilla.

The SM-final hasn't really been a popular event for many years now, neither to host or go attend.

He switches license/nationality depending on which suites him best for the moment. Swedish licence for racing in Sweden so that he counts as a Swedish rider for the agreed quota. Then Finnish licence for qualifiers (if he still does them) because its much stronger competition for the qualifier nominations. IMO, use one licence at the time. If he wants to use the Swedish licence that is fine, but then that applies to all competititions for the entire season and no switching back and forth during the season.

Whoever (outside of Lindgren and Kim Nilsson) finishing as the best placed rider tomorrow will be the wild card for Målilla GP.

From what I'e heard or read speculations/rumours that might be some changes for next year, like only 2 gp in Poland, one at BV, none at Cardiff......

Lindgren had some health issues related to post covid last year and a dip in his perfomance. However he has recovered. He is only 38 (in september) and nowadays riders continue to be in their prime well into their 40:s.

no, points are awarded based on finishing position. Bartosz won and was awarded 20 points. Points scored in the actual race doesn't carrry over to the total gp standings.

In FIM TRACK RACING APPENDICES 2023, under 1., last paragraph "Actions judged by the officials responsible to be contrary to the FIM regulations - or judged to be unsportsmanlike or against the best interests of the sport at the event in question - are subject to disciplinary actions as provided for by the arbitration and disciplinary code" Perhaps, it's time to hold Doyle accountable for real? Then maybe he will get the message?

ESS-play only, but they charge another 129* sek ontop of the regular 250 sek**/month for Elitserien. If you want SEC via ESS play it will also cost extra. *about 11 GBP **about 28 GBP

There is also an exception if R/R is used for the rider with the 4th highest average in the lineup one of the reserves can be used twice.

For R/R rule is everyone with equal or lower rolling average (löpande snitt) can take one ride. Averages can be found here: https://www.svemo.se/vara-sportgrenar/start-speedway/resultat-speedway/resultat-bauhausligan-speedway

All except Lambert.

Quick reminder of Piraterna - Smederna tonight.

Changes for Smederna tonight, MJJ out Wojdylo in.

Teams for Wednesday https://speedwayfans.se/piraterna-moter-smederna-i-motala-sa-staller-lagen-upp/

Latest info is that Huckenbeck will ride for Rospiggarna tomorrow.

Västervik will utilize RR for Woffinden.

Except Lambert and Joel nothing positive to say from Smederna - Dackarna. Rubbish attendence (2800), Rubbish track and rubbish team perfomance.

Great start or not. Dackarna definitely faster from the gate so far.

Kim Nilsson is out for Rospiggarna. Palovaara at nr 5 snd Bock at nr 7.

Some changes for Västervik: 1. Jack Holder is written out from the squad. 2. Bellago replaces Holder in the squad. 3. Bellago replaces Fredrik Lindgren tonight. https://speedwayfans.se/vastervik-forandrar-igen-gp-tvaan-skrivs-ut/

No Fredrik Lindgren for Västervik. Not known yet if RR or replacing rider.
