Fredrik Engman Also weather will be a factor tonight, a weather system with plenty of rain so we'll be lucky if we can get through this round without any cancelled meetings. update 16.31, it has started to rain very lightly in Hallstavik. live scores: http://www.svemo.se/sv/Grenar/Speedway/ As mentioned above Vargarna - Elit Vetlanda is postponed due to rain and the meeting between Dackarna and Piraterna looks a bit doubtful as well. For that meeting a new decision will be taken at 18.30 Swedish time. http://www.corren.se/sport/motorsport/piraternas-match-i-fara-7030258.aspx Rospiggarna-Ikaros Smederna and Indianerna-Västervik are still on. Not looking good in Hallstavik either; https://twitter.com/BjornOldeen/status/473862756480090112 Nor in Kumla: https://twitter.com/WMSK_Speedway/status/473862337771094016 https://twitter.com/bb_rekarn/status/473862873236914176 http://www.smhi.se/vadret/nederbord-molnighet/1.27021 The decision in Måilla was to wait another hour but by just looking at the radar images you can see that the rain probably won't have passed by then. Kumla is also looking more doubtful while there's still hope for the tv-meeting, Reports from Hallstavik says that it haven't rained that much and that the track can handle some water. It won't start at 19.15 though, probably closer to 20.00 Swedish time if the meeting will be run tonight.'' Indianerna - Västervik is off.

I haven't had the time to do this weeks preview yet, but don't panic it will be up later in the afternoon.

I disagree, Kenni Larsen have been very impressive so this season and although PK have been very good I think Kenni have been slightly better. Also Kenni should at least have been one of the reserves. But I assume that an average of over 2.000p/heat as nr 5 in the Swedish league isn't good enough.

It is always like that because they want it that way. Probably because it benefits Hampel to have a gate and go track.

Roland Garros finishes on Sunday next week so I don't expect it to be any live next week either but I would guess it will be live again from the week after that.

Anton Rosén is out at least 3-4 weeks due to a cracked scull. He thought that it "just" was a concussion but scans at the hospital showed that the scull was cracked. http://www.mvt.se/sport/speedway/?articleid=9852137

yeah RR is correct. UK is currently on BST which is UTC+1, Denmark (and most of central+western Europe) are on CEST (UTC+2). Time in CEST time zone is now 20.00.

It is explained in this post: http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=67537

That is the old line-up. For postponed meeting R/R is allowed for riders that are occupied with another league meeting. There will be R/R for both Ward and Nermark. However I think it is very bad that Nermark can choose to rider elsewhere and for Swedish riders, their Swedish team should always have precedence over any other league meeting, regardless of if it is a postponed meeting or not.

It is the same as with Tammerfors GP two weeks ago, KK have rested and will try to ride on practice to determine if he can ride in Prague.

You bet I am. Dackarna should be grateful that they only lost with 7 points, it should have been a bigger win for Smederna. Heat 1, Berntzon gates very good but Laguta gets on EF on the start line. Berntzon wins the heat easily. Heat 5 Berntzon and Zengota 5-1 half way through the first bend, Zengota then get a huge lift and ends up in the airfence. He's ok but heat was stopped. Zengota excluded. Heat restarted. Berntzon makes a very poor gate but eventually works his way passed Aspegren and the gets side by side with Dennis Andersson going out of the second bend on lap 3 but Berntzon gets a huge lift and falls. Heat stopped and awarded 5-0 to Dackarna. Heat 6, PK and Zorro have a 5-1 going out of the first bend but PK hits the same hole as Zengota and it lifts off, PK falls, gets up but cannot continue but heat does not have to be stopped. Kylmäkorpi passes Zorro on third lap since Zorro went a bit wide. After this heat Smederna was down with 5p and I thought that we'll never manage to get back from this. Heat 10, Laguta is misses the gating completely but at the end of the first lap he passes both Dackarna riders on the inside in the second bend. Smederna was 1p up until after heat 13 where Loktaev shined again and together with Dudek scored a 4-2. Dackarna 1p up with two heats to go. Heat 14, Kenni is like lightning from the tapes, Laguta is his usual self, misses the start completely, is half a mile behind when the reach the first bend but still shows what a superb rider he is and first passes MJJ and then passes Nicki as well. 5-1 Smederna and it's looking good for heat 15. Heat 15, Kenni repeats his act from heat 14 and makes a lightning fast gating. Laguta actually realizes that it is much easier to win if he makes a good gate so he made an even better then Kenni this time and Kenni and Laguta can easily ride a second straight 5-1 to secure a Smederna win.

This Wednesday yes, May 28th. Darcy is put at nr 2 which indicates that Rosén might take Darcy's place, but the question is why Darcy Was registered in the first place then.

yeah but they have Loktaev at reserve.

Lineups for the re-run of the postponed meeting between Västervik and Piraterna on Wednesday. Västervik Peter Ljung Daniel Nermark Hans Andersen Rune Holta Troy Batchelor Davey Watt Mathias Thörnblom Piraterna Linus Sundström Darcy Ward Greg Hancock (K) Bjarne Pedersen Chris Holder Simon Gustafsson Fredrik Engman

Preview for Swedish Elitserien 2014, Round 4. Elit Vetlanda – Piraterna #tv meeting Elit Vetlanda Leon Madsen Bartosz Zmarzlik Jaroslaw Hampel (K) Thomas H Jonasson Tai Woffinden Jacob Thorssell Magnus Karlsson Piraterna Greg Hancock (K) Linus Sundström Darcy Ward Bjarne Pedersen Chris Holder Simon Gustafsson Fredrik Engman race card: http://www.mediafire.com/view/3z5j5ylr422tq16/ES.2014.R4.ElitVetlanda-Piraterna.pdf This weeks tv-meeting (not live on Eurorsport this week due to the French Open in tennis). Elit Vetlanda have started the season with two losses and one win. For this week's meeting Fredrik Staf and Bosse Wirebrand, team managers for Elit Vetlanda, have decided to give Bartosz Zmarzlik the chance at Emil Sajfutdinov's Expense. For Piraterna, Anton Rosén is rested today due to another concussion, Bjarne Pedersen takes his place. Piraterna have a very good team but Elit Vetlanda are very hard to beat, especially when you have in mind that Vetlanda have the excellent gater Jarek Hampel in their team. So I would expect Vetlanda to have the advantage and to win this meeting. Vetlanda's track is quite infamous for it's lack of overtaking so don't expect anything like last weeks meeting. Vargarna – Indianerna Vargarna Martin Vaculik Tomas Gapinski Peter Kildemand Pontus Aspgren Adrian Miedzinski Ricky Kling Daniel Davidsson Billy Forsberg Indianerna Fredrik Lindgren Cameron Woodward Piotr Protasiewicz Piotr Swiderski Niels Kristian Iversen Freddy Godlund Joel Andersson Vargarna won their first meeting of the season, away against Piraterna but have now have two straight losses Vargarna makes one change compared to last week and that is that Billy Forsberg replaces Daniel Davidsson. It was last week that Vargarna announced that the former speedway rider from Norrköping would make a comeback after being away from speedway for almost 5 years. I think that this will be a very close meeting but that Indianerna eventually will win. Västervik – Rospiggarna Västervik Daniel Nermark Peter Ljung Hans Andersen Rune Holta Troy Batchelor Davey Watt Mathias Thörnblom Rospiggarna Andreas Jonsson Jonas Davidsson Mads Korneliussen Timo Lahti Chris Harris Grzegorz Walasek Kim Nilsson This is a very interesting meeting, Västervik are still without a victory so far and Rospiggarna (together with Dackarna are the only undefeated team so far). Västervik is suffering quite allot from Kasprzaks absence and I think they will loose this meeting too. Rospiggarna are really hot at the moment and they have a very strong reserve in Walasek. Ikaros Smederna – Dackarna Ikaros Smederna Grigorij Laguta Oliver Berntzon Peter Karlsson Magnus Zetterström Kenni Larsen Mikkel Michelsen Grzegorz Zengota Dackarna Patryk Dudek Joonas Kylmäkorpi Nicki Pedersen Robin Aspegren Michael Jepsen Jensen Dennis Andersson Alexandr Loktaev Another interesting meeting, Smederna won the first meeting at home against a quite week Västervik but then suffered narrow losses in the next two meetings. Smederna this time faces Dackarna who are in a very good form and will have to be considered favourites. Nicki and MJJ rode fantastically well at the Best Pairs event and will be tough not to crack. Smederna's riders have been a bit to inconsistent (except for Kenni Larsen and Oliver Berntzon) and they haven't managed to perfrom well all at once, which is needed to manage to beat the expected top teams. This time Oliver Berntzon and Magnus Zetterström are moved up to positions #2/#4 due to their good riding as reserves and Michelsen and Zengota is then moved in the other direction. It wil be interesting to see how well Oliver Berntzon can perform at the nr 2 position. I think, unfortunately, Dackarna looks a bit too strong, and I think they will win this meeting as well. Especially since Laguta's gating is far from excellent. Weather forecasts looks good with mostly sunny weather.

Yeah I think it's time that you start try to convince your wife that you need to move across the Atlantic.

Good evening all, when reading about streaming problems, I feel very fortunate to have a on official stream to rely on.

you have more meetings per week then Sweden, Denmark and Poland. This means that a couple of days with rainy weather will affect allot more meetings compared to the main countries' leagues. You probably have rainier weather as well even though ut can be pretty rainy here as well. Naturally not having to worry about other track events/users makes it easier. As for Västervik last week it had been raining on/off for several days but it hadn't rained anything during the day of the meeting but about 2-3 hours before the start of the meeting itvstarted rain again. It only rained for an hour or so but it was enough to ruin parts of the second bend which had been turned into a ditch. Both teams agreed to cancel the meeting citing despite the people who already had paid entrance fees and despite that was a tv-meeting broadcasted all over Europe.

Live results from tomorrows quali semi seems to be available here: http://online.speedwaylive.eu/mistrovstvi-evropy/jednotlivci/zarnovica/2014-05-24/

Iris, to my knowledge there hasn't been any rules changes regarding minimum amount for neither Allsvenskan or Elitserien to this season. Or is is it something else you are thinking about.
