Swedish Elitserien 2015, Round 3
Ghostwalker replied to Ghostwalker's topic in International World of Speedway
According to Iwan ESP NL will show it live: https://twitter.com/Mototaal/status/600640282619748353 So perhaps it would be a good idea for you too to check in at 6pm UK time in case they decide to show it live. Wiseguy, well the rain have been a threat today as well but at the moment it looks like the rain came earlier then expected and it seems that the rain will have passed by 19.00. -
...but the incident still happened

Swedish Elitserien 2015, Round 3

Krompa look for a *mark after the riders name. It indicates whether or not the rider have an official average. For indianerna Antonio is the only rider who have achieved a floating average since he is the only rider to have ridden 12 heats. So Antontio's floating average will be used to calculate RR eligibility but for the others (with less then 12 heats) the season entry average is used. -

No R/R are based on averages, see this thread: http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=67537 If Pawlicki can't ride, Smederna are doomed since only Michelsen and the reserves can take his heats. -

Iversen, Nicholls and Schlein (x2). Pawlicki injured? Well Jimmy can only blame himself then for picking the team on Fridays. He should learn to wait until Sunday. -

RMC, I wouldn't say that Lejonen-Dackarna is "a potentially interesting match". Gislaved is probably one of the worst tracks in Sweden together with Vetlanda when it comes to entertainment value. -

Smederna's team manager said that Grigorij haven't been good enough and that Rospiggarna's track doesn't suite Laguta. -

I don't think re-invent is necessary but somethings do need to change. For starters simplify the rules a bit, no tactical substitute, no jokers and etc where all riders ride their scheduled heats (except for 2min violation, TT and other exclusions). For league racing that is two teams with 5-6-7 riders in each team who do their schedules heats, The biggest issues for speedway is 1. costs and 2 weather. Costs need to be reduced and tracks/teams need to be better to deal with weather. For the latter; it is actual track management (how to fix a track that has been rained on), communication to fans and away team, don't wait until 5-10 min after the scheduled start time to cancel it. So there are many areas in which speedway can be improved but the difficulty is to get everyone to work in the same direction. Especially in league speedway where each clubs only works for what's best for them, like Vetlanda who wants to scrap the averages because they have a big sponsor who makes sure that Vetlanda can sign the best riders while the rest of the teams struggles to keep their economy in balance. I by far prefer the GP-series then having a one off event which fans/media won't care about for 360 days of the year. A GP-series is also much more fair and no one can say that any of those who have became world champions under the current formula haven't been worthy champions. Imo I think the temporary tracks do have a place in the GP-series but there are too many this year and the track building needs to be sorted. -

It probably wasn't because your comment is a typical "It was better in the old days" comment. With time you might remember things to be better then they actually was. -

6 GPs are too few. Needs to be 10 GPs at least. -

I am, particular Vojens is a gaters paradise track with little or no passing. Exceptions have occurred but is rare.
