Pawel Przedpelski will not be allowed to ride for Smederna tomorrow since Torun have decided that he should ride in a Polish U21 meeting. He will be replaced by Davey Watt. http://www1.idrottonline.se/SmedernaSpeedwayforening-MotorcykelochSnoskoter/Nyheter/Nyhetsarkiv/IngenPrzedpelskitillKumlaWattersatter/

Palovaara will replace Robin Aspegren.

Victor Palovaara will replace Robin Aspegren during Robin's absence. Polovaara will stay in the squad for a minimum of 28 days. http://www.speedwaynyheter.se/elitserien/palovaara-in-i-dackarna/ For Rospiggarna Maciej Janowski will replace Grzegorz Walasek for a minimum of 28 days. http://www.speedwaynyheter.se/rospiggarna/janowski-ersatter-walasek/

Yes that is right. Przedpelski is the only one with a higher floating average so all riders should be able to take a R/R heat. I also haven't seen any info on replacement for Robin Aspegren in Dackarna but I guess that it will be Alexander Edberg.

Kenni Larsen will not be able to ride for Smederna tomorrow and Smederna will use R/R for him. http://www1.idrottonline.se/SmedernaSpeedwayforening-MotorcykelochSnoskoter/Nyheter/Nyhetsarkiv/RidersforKenniLarsen/

Preview Swedish Elitserien 2014, Round 13 Televised meeting: Rospiggarna - Piraterna live at Eurosport 2, 18.00 BST / 19.00 CEST Race card: https://www.mediafire.com/?z3ztgc4748cjiur Live scores; http://www.svemo.se/Speedway Current standings: http://www.svemo.se/sv/Grenar/Speedway/Elitserien2014/Serietabell/ Rospiggarna - Piraterna Rospiggarna (45) Andreas Jonsson Grzegorz Walasek Maciej Janowski Kim Nilsson Timo Lahti Mads Korneliussen Chris Harris Jonas Davidsson Piraterna (45) Bjarne Pedersen Chris Holder Darcy Ward Linus Sundström Greg Hancock (K) Simon Gustafsson Fredrik Engman This is the fight for second place which Rospiggarna currently holds with a 2p margin. For Ropiggarna it is uncertain if they will use R/R for Walasek or if they will be able get a replacement into the squad in time for the meeting. Last week Rospiggarna lost their third meeting for the season. They are usually strong at home and have only lost one meeting at home (against Dackarna) but the track was a bit different then it usually is due to some rain earlier in the evening. For Piraterna, Matej Zagar is listed in the offcial line up but this is because a replacement for an injured rider stays in the team for a minimum of 28 days. Those 28 days have passed tomorrow so that means that Chris Holder will re-take hos position in the team from tomorrow. Vargarna - Västervik Vargarna (42) Jason Doyle Peter Kildemand R/R Adrian Miedzinski Pontus Aspgren Martin Vaculik Billy Forsberg Ricky Kling Västervik (48) Przemyslaw Pawlicki Krzysztof Kasprzak Peter Ljung Hans Andersen Tobiasz Musielak Mathias Thörnblom Ludvig Lindgren Vargarna are in a fierce battle with Smederna and also Dackarna for the last place in the play offs. Vargarna are currently outside the play offs after they lost last week while Smederna won. Reports says that they have to manage without Peter Kildemand in this meeting since had a crash in Poland earlier tonight which resulted in a concussion. They will use R/R for him. Vargarna needs to win to stay in the fight for the play offs and If they also manages to win the aggregated bonus point, they are more or less certain to be in the play offs if Smederna fails to take any team points against Indianerna. Västervik will finish last and will be demoted to Allsvenskan for 2015, it remains to see how motivated they are. Dackarna - Elit Vetlanda Dackarna (26) Nicki Pedersen Joonas Kylmäkorpi Michael Jepsen Jensen Alexandr Loktaev R/R Krzysztof Buczkowski Dennis Andersson Robin Aspegren Victor Palovaara Elit Vetlanda (64) Tai Woffinden Emil Sajfutdinov Jarek Hampel Tomas H Jonasson Janusz Kolodziej Magnus Karlsson Jacob Thorssell Dackarna misses the suspended Patryk Dudek and they also suffered in injury in today's Division 1 meeting at G&B arena between Målilla Team Finland Texoil Racers Masarna, Robin Aspegren broke his collarbone. He will get a decision tomorrow whether or not his injury requires surgery. Dackarna are also involved in the the play off fight and they this round faces "Real Vetlanda" Which brings their strongest possible lineup. I think Vetlanda will be able to defeat Dackarna and then also win the aggregated bonus. If Dackarna loses, if Smederna manages at least to win the aggregated bonus and if Vargarna manages at least a win, Dackarna will find themselves being outside play offs. Then they have Rospiggarna in the final round, a very tough opponent as well. Indianerna - Ikaros Smederna Indianerna (40) Fredrik Lindgren Cameron Woodward Piotr Protasiewicz Mikael Max Niels-Kristian Iversen Antonio Lindbäck Joel Andersson Ikaros Smederna (50) Grzegorz Zengota Kenni Larsen R/R Peter Karlsson Oliver Berntzon Pawel Przedpelski Mikkel Michelsen Magnus Zetterström Mikkel Michelsen Davey Watt Indinanerna are fielding their strongest possible line up and they have showed that they are a very very hard team to beat at their home track. Smederna have problems with injuries this season, just like last year. For tomorrows meeting Kenni seems to be back but his form seems to have gone down the drain since he qualified for the European Championships. Perhaps a bit too many meetings without the proper organization that is needed to ride in Sweden, DK, Poland+ SEC. I still haven't heard any official news about Laguta so I think that he won't be available until the play offs if Smederna manages to reach it. It will be very interesting to see how Pawel Przedpelski will handles the Sannahed track. A track where there usually is several racing lines and where it usually is possible to do Gollobish blasts on the outside along the fence and that is something Przedpelski seems to like to do. Anyhow we can look forward to an exciting finish to this seasons Elitserien.

It's speedway, injuries and sudden loss of form happens. They are clear favourites at the moment but it's still a long way to go.

It didn't work for me. Luckily I can watch in on Visasatsport.se (Sweden only).

Jonsson was not ahead since he takes Holders leg out.

Heat 13 what a farce really. Pepe is falling very very easily. A bit too easily.

Swedish Elitserien, this Tuesday live on Esp 2 18.00 BST / 19.00 CEST. The meeting shown is Rospiggarna - Piraterna. Team line-ups and general preview in this thread.

Sounds like the same situation as the one in the Olympics with Swedish ice hockey player Nicklas Bäckström.

It seems it will only be shown at 20.00 BST on ESP 2 on Saturday. http://tv.eurosport.co.uk/tvschedule.shtml

I agree. The current system is very good and I don't think any larger changes is needed. Perhaps the qualification/wild card system needs some tweaking. No it wasn't. It was pretty much the opposite. An over-complicated system of qualification heats and last chance heats. Dramatic? Perhaps. Fair? Not really.

Today Bysarna's new 80cc track was opened for the first time after a thorough inspection by Tony Olsson. http://www.speedwaynyheter.se/ungdom/antligen-en-ny-bana-pa-gotland/ The new track is located at Hejdeby just east of Visby. https://www.google.com/maps/place/621+76+Hejdeby,+Sverige/@57.5875871,18.4724559,12z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x46f70742ac3b01e1:0xeabfea9acaae20ed To my knowledge there are currently no plans for a 500cc track.

It actually says here http://speedway-league.com/ that Kenni will ride on Friday.

Rospiggarna are planning on replacing Walasek due to his injury and surgery. http://norrteljetidning.se/sport/1.2585285-rospiggarna-nara-ersattare-till-walasek No names are mentioned but the new rider cannot have a season entry average that is higher then Walaseks floating average which is 1.559.

Janek Konikiewicz confirmed that Kenni Larsen will ride on Saturday. Kenni have had problems with a concussion following a crash for almost two weeks ago.

I've promised Iwan to do a more thorough explanation of the Swedish R/R rule, so here it is: We can use Smederna as an example: I've listed a team that goes in under the average cap and sorted them after their floating average: Pawel Przedpelski 1.900 Grigory Laguta 1.870 Kenni Larsen 1.711 Peter Karlsson 1.528 Grzegorz Zengota 1.449 Oliver Berntzon 1.420 Magnus Zetterström 1.180 The R/R rules says that you can use R/R for a rider that has one of the 5 highest averages* in the lineup. The rule also says that the rider with the closest higher average and all riders with a lower average then the rider which R/R is used for can replace the said rider. If we look at the team above this means that R/R for nr 1 and 2 means that all riders can do a R/R heat, R/R for number three means that only rider 2,4-7 can be used and etc. For rider nr 5 there are only three riders available for R/R heats but this is solved by allowing one of the reserves to do two R/R heats. *Just like when it comes to determine which riders that rides at reserve, floating average is used to determine which five riders that R/R is eligible for and which riders that can do the R/R heats.

The attendance for yesterday's tv meeting was a nice 3759 people.

Next weeks tv-meeting is Rospiggarna - Piraterna. It will be shown live on Eurosport 2 from 18.00 BST/19.00 CEST / 20.00 EEST.

Well that would be the most appropriate choice. Lebedevs is great talent and I think if he can peak his form, I think he will be able to stir it up pretty good.

Tonight's result means that Västervik will finish last and will be demoted to Allsvenskan unless the winner of Allsvenskan's promotion cup declines to advance to Elitserien. Indianerna, Vargarna, Smederna and Dackarna are all involved in the battle for the 4th-6th place which means play offs. current standings: 4. Indianerna 568 - 511 15p 5. Dackarna 507 - 568 13p 6. Smederna 521 - 557 12p 7. Vargarna 526 - 550 11p If we then look at the remaining meetings and try to predict results I think we might see some thing like this: Round 13: Vargarna - Västervik Vargarna win and bonus Vargarna 14p Indianerna - Ikaros Smederna Indianerna win and Bonus Indianerna 18p Smederna 12p Dackarna - Elit Vetlanda Elit Vetlanda win and bonus Dackarna 13p Round 14: Dackarna Rospiggarna Dackarna win and bonus Dackarna 16p Piraterna Indianerna Piraterna win Indianerna bonus Indianerna 19p Ikaros Smederna Vargarna Smederna win, Vargarna bonus, Smederna 14p, Vargarna 15p This will result in a final standings like this; 4.,Indianerna 19p 5. Dackarna 16p 6. Vargarna 15p 7. Smederna 14p.
