There has been three Swedes on both of the two GP's that have been held at Friends. Despite that, last year's attendance was down from the first year. I think the lack of Swedes fighting for the victory in that actual GP and in the total series have a bigger impact then the number of Swedes riding.

For Gothenrburg, I think GotEvent was the one paying for GP to Ullevi since they own the arena. I don't know about Stockholm but likely it is the arena owner there too. For Målilla, I think the club (Målilla MK) is the one paying but I am not sure. I doubt Svemo has that kind of money anyway.

As I have said several times before, one Swe wild card I can accept but not two. AJ and particularly Lindgren have had too many already and neither have shown anything this year to warrant a wild card

Red card for Gomolski.

He is 17th in Sweden and 19th in Poland not as good as he used to be. in 2013 he was 7th in both Sweden and Poland so it's obvious that his form haven't been particular good this season. I think there is too many shorter temporary tracks in the SGP for him to be successful. Then also with limited passing possibilities the gating becomes very important and gating isn't one of Grigorij's strengths.

It has been the same with Grigorij Laguta who also seems to have been uninterested in doing the SGP. Artem had a try a few years ago but didn't do well. Obviously judging by this seasons form Grigorij wouldn't be an addition though. Not really on form this season.

To avoid the embarrassment of finishing last? This year he has been saved by Kasperzak and Hampel. THJ will likely overtake him, 1p behind but with 4 less heats.

Greg has 17 heat wins though. Bomber only 4. 4 heats win from 8 GPS?

Why does Harris bother qualifying when he will be subscribing to the last place anyway?

Nah I remembered it wrong, it was on a Saturday but it was a Polish play off meeting. http://www.speedwaygp.com/news/article/2824/season-over-for-sayfutdinov

IIRC Emil have not done a SGP since he was fenced by Miedzinski in a GP two years ago.

no, I wrote response time. Simple reaction is closer to 200ms. So basically what we have is; Magnets starts to move The eyes will detect movement Signal goes from eyes to brain Brain will process the signal and realize that the magnets are moving Brain will send signal to the fingers to release the clutch handle fingers will release the clutch handle clutch handle will travel to full drag / completely released back wheel will start to spin bike will start to move. I don't how long the sum of the above is but it is the time that should be measured and made a rule of together with transponders (after testing) transponder provider examples: https://www.mylaps.com/en/x2 http://www.tagheuer-timing.com/en/transponder-transponder http://www.finishlynx.com/sv/packages/motorsports-high-speed-timing-systems/ The transponders can also be used to determine who crossed the line first during close finishes.

Give it some time, Emil is still only 26 years old.

Emil still says no to SGP, this time it's due to him wanting more time with his family. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=sv?sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A//sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/544739/emil-sajfutdinow-nie-mysli-o-powrocie-do-sgp-sec-mi-wystarcza

No. The "play off averages" are only used to determine R/R eligibility and etc during playoffs but has no affect on next season.

Fans shouldn't have to. There should be a dedicated section on the speedwaygp.com website with information on which broadcaster that have the rights in each country. Something like this: http://www.fiaworldrallycross.com/article/tvlisting then put the list under the Fanzone menu so it is for fans to find. Fia WRX have the tv-listing page linked from the first page.

There will be an individual meeting in Hallstavik on Friday October 2nd. http://norrteljetidning.se/sport/1.3139709-klart-for-individuell-tavling-i-parken

I think Hampel is hoping the same.

Stupid, should have been someone like Thorssell or Palovaara instead.

if the rest of the sports world have technology to detect those who react to quickly, why can't speedway also have that? The mean human response time for visual stimuli is about 290milliseconds . Imo develop a system with transponders which will detect if anyone is moving when the green light is on and if any rider is reacting too quickly. I think a transponder system is the only way to truly separate good starts from chance starts and rolling starts. Until such system is in place there will be rolling starts and chance starts that will be unnoticed and there will be good starts that will be called back. Imo stricter marshalling would also reduce the likeliness of rolling starts succeeding. If the riders are forced (exclude anyone not obeying) to have front wheel 2 cm from the tapes then it will be harder to roll since if they do they will do a T/T. Also when it comes to 2min exclusions/gardening. If the referees actually would start to enforce 2min violations then the riders would adjust and actually making sure that they are ready when the 2 min expires = problem solved. 2 min is 120 seconds not 121 or 123 seconds and neither is it 118 seconds. They can do as much gardening as they like as long as they are ready with the front wheel at the tapes when those 120 seconds are up.

Add a controversial referee decision to that. Antonio overtook Pawlicki in heat 15. There was contact, Pawlicki fell and Antonio was excluded. Most people thinks it was a wrong call since they say that Pawlicki tried to close the door on Antonio and thus initiated the contact resulting in his own fall.
