No, muddy, muddier and muddiest. It's 300km mud wrestling by motorcycle. Quite often with temperatures around zero and occasional snow. Although not that dangerous but very very exhausting.

2+2 for Broberg so far.

Ambulance have stayed at the track so likely nothing serious that requires emergency treatment.

It's the same story every season. Kenni finds good form and then becomes injured. It is the second time this season he is injured. At least Kenni could seat himself on stretcher. Nothing broken for Kenni but most likely a hard concussion.

First point ever in Elitserien for Rasmus Broberg. Nasty crash Not looking good.

Indianerna - Lejonen expected to start at 20.15

Also Smederna's Rasmus Broberg is doing his first Elitserien meeting ever.

Then you have not seen Novemberkåsan. The riders there are beyond mad.

start time changed to 19.45 Blue sky is visible on the TV images and the sun is starting to come out.

Alan, also don't forget Kim Jansson and Robin Johansson. Two former Smederna riders who now are paraplegic.

Meeting delayed to 19.30 at the earliest. Track prep in progress. No more rain expected so I am certain that the meeting will go ahead.

"Artem Laguta: I want to continue to ride in extraligue (there) are already three offers". https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=sv?sl=pl&tl=en&u=http%3A//www.sportowefakty.pl/zuzel/542256/artiom-laguta-chce-dalej-jezdzic-w-ekstralidze-sa-juz-trzy-oferty

Nasty accidents happens at all kinds of track. Kenny Olsson was killed on Kråkvilan which is the shortest track in Sweden and it's very criticized by fans for being "dangerous" (too short/tight). Kim Jansson became paralysed when he was involved in a crash. The Henderson brothers were in front of Kim, they got tangled up and crashed. Kim couldn't avoid them, crashed himself and landed so bad that his spine broke leaving him paralysed. There was no airfence then but it would not have made a difference as the accident happened mid-track. I don't bike speed is that relevant. 70km/h or 90km/h will both be potentially lethal if a rides crashes and falls of in the wrong way.

Artem Laguta have pulled out of tomorrow's meeting between Indianerna and Lejonen. According to Daniel Andersson, team manager for Indianerna, artem is too shaken to be able to ride. Dalle says that this have affected Artem very hard and that Artem isn't feeling well. Scott Nicholls will replace Artem. http://na.se/sporten/speedway/1.3123089-efter-chocken-laguta-lamnar-aterbud Chris Holder won't ride tomorrow either (understandably), so Adrian Miedzinski and Jonas Davidsson will replace Ward and Holder. http://www.corren.se/nyheter/han-kommer-inte-kora-speedway-mer-8512013.aspx

Agreed. I also don't think that nothing is done to improve safety. I think while there is allot that can be done, it likely isn't as easy as some seems to think. Neither is there a fix that solves/covers all problems. I.e. Iainb's solution for plastic cladding for the airfences. It might prevent some accidents but it might also cause other severe accidents after which means that they are not a viable solution. If you want plastic cladding on the airfences, then you need to firmly attach them to the airfences in some way and that attaching method might also prove to be a safety risk. The point is that thee is no universal solution that can prevent all kinds of injuries.

6 indoor events and 3 outdoor events is too unbalanced. The number of outdoor events should be in majority compared to indoor events.

I also want to say that I hope that Artem Laguta isn't forgotten about. He too might need some support in this situation.

If you want s. u. to remove the tweet, I think it would be a better idea to contact them directly then posting a thread on an unaffiliated forum. Then while I agree about that it's not a good idea to link to a video of a crash where a person have suffered severe and possibly life changing injuries, there is this thing called free speech. Neither you, me or anyone else but themselves decides what they should or sbould not post on their social media accounts.

I agree but Zielona Gora have posted info on their website, http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=80147&p=2670056

Suspected spinal injury for Ward. https://twitter.com/falubazzg/status/635533750634459137

Well Kenni apologised to fans and team mates after last week's meeting in Poland since he had a very bad meeting score wise but I think that they might forgive him after tonight. According to Smederna website, Pawel Przedpelski collapsed after Torun's meeting and was taken to hospital with a suspected appendicitis.
