Unfortunately, for us and for Russia, Grigorij Laguta is injured and will miss the first round of the best pairs.

"KYLMAKORPI FLIES FINNISH FLAG". Yes I know he has dual citizenships and dual licenses but that is not the point. The point is that a rider should stick to one license/season rather then changing from one event to another.

But how can he ride on two licenses at the same time?

Andre Herztberg have announced that he have quit from speedway, at least for this year. http://www.aktuellspeedway.se/nyheter/4507/

Yes most people can access it. The other commentator will be Tobias Lyon (unfortunately).

Here is a short interview (in Swedish) with Kurtis "Bullet Jr" Hamill: http://www.speedwaynyheter.se/ungdom/kurtis-hamill-jag-saknar-att-fa-bo-i-england-och-sverige-mer-an-nagot/

Yes there is speedway in Latvia, two semi-well known riders are Andrejs Lebedevs and Kjastas Poudzuks. Both have signed with teams in Swedish Elitserien for the 2014 season. Lebedevs signed with Rospiggarna and Poudzuks signed with Ikaros Smederna.

Ok this thread is for the previous season but anyway, an interview with Finnish speedway rider Toni Hyyryläinen; http://www.speedwaynyheter.se/ungdom/toni-hyyrylainen-jag-har-fatt-nagra-nya-sponsorer/

Tickets for the final round will go on sale tomorrow at midday (12.00) Swedish time. Tickets can be purchased via http://www.ikarossmederna.nu/ or via tickster http://www.tickster.com/sv/events/23w5yv7lcueb22r http://www1.idrottonline.se/SmedernaSpeedwayforening-MotorcykelochSnoskoter/Nyheter/Nyhetsarkiv/BiljettslappSpeedwayBestPairs/

added the fixtures for the Elitserien-B league and I also updated the fixtures for the championship cup (play offs). The semi finals have changed from September 9th/10th to a week later and the final is moved to after the Stockholm GP.

Swedish individual championship is now on Saturday but fortunately it is held in Uppsala on the artificially frozen at Studenternas IP.

The weather in Finland in May is like for the rest of northern Europe very unpredictable. It could be anything from +12C and rain to +20 and sunshine.

So is the SWC and SGP.

In what way are the SEC preventing BSI/IMG from improving their job with the SGP?

@F-S-P, call it what want, gold, winner, best pair or whatever same thing different name and you know what I mean. At today's press conference pricing was revealed for the final round at Eskilstuna and it was pretty reasonable. Here is a map that I made (ok I'm not Picasso so sue me ) over the arena: http://www.mediafire.com/view/d3a713xu6kjtl1w/smedbana-1.png Anyway for roofed Grand stand A at start/finish straight the price is 300SEK for adults (19 yo. or older), 250 for kids/teens (8-18yo.) for roofed seated stand B at back straight price is 250SEK for adults, 200SEK for kids/teens. For the first bend stand, stand at the grass hill at finish bend or standing along the boards, price is 200SEK for adults and 150SEK for kids/teens. Children aged 0-7 enter for free. There is no info available at the moment regarding where to buy tickets online. Current exchange rate is approximative 10.7SEK for £1. If anyone is coming to the final round and needs any kind of info let me know and I'll see if I can help you.

The Swedish team will be Andreas Jonsson, Antonio Lindbäck with Peter Ljung as a reserve. That means that we have the following lineup: Russia: Emil Sayfutdinov, Grigorij Laguta, Artem Laguta (reserve). Germany: Martin Smolinski, Kewin Wölbert, Max Dilger (reserve) Latvia: Kjastas Puodzuks, Andrejs.Lebedevs (reserve tba) Poland: Tomasz Gollob, Adrian Miedziński, Patryk Dudek (reserve) Denmark: Nicki Pedersen, Niels-Kristian Iversen, Michael Jepsen Jensen (reserve) Australia: Chris Holder, Darcy Ward. (reserve tba) http://www.speedwaynyheter.se/vastervik/lagen-i-best-pairs-2014/ Imo Australia, Russia, and Denmark are the favourites to fight for Gold. Sweden and Latvia as Darkhorses and Germany will probably not be able to match the other teams. http://www.speedwaynyheter.se/vastervik/lagen-i-best-pairs-2014/

Regarding Kylmäkorpi and licenses it's Swedish->Finnish->Swedish license. He is also a former Swe U21 champ and I would guess that he has a dual citizenship.

There will be a press conference tomorrow from Smederna and One sport regarding the final of Best pairs: http://www1.idrottonline.se/SmedernaSpeedwayforening-MotorcykelochSnoskoter/Nyheter/Nyhetsarkiv/INBJUDANTILLPRESSKONFERENS/ http://www.speedwaynyheter.se/smederna/live-2014-speedway-best-pairs-press-conference-for-final-round/ Also Russia have announced their three riders: Grigorij Laguta, Artem Laguta and Emil Sajfutdinov. http://www1.idrottonline.se/SmedernaSpeedwayforening-MotorcykelochSnoskoter/Nyheter/Nyhetsarkiv/GrigorijLagutakorSpeedwayBestPairs/

Mathias Thörnblom replaces Sebastian Aldén as a guest rider for Västervik.

Sebastian Aldén have announced today that he have decided to retire from speedway. http://www.speedwaynyheter.se/hammarby/alden-lagger-slapskon-pa-hyllan/

IMO this has nothing to do with employment laws since the riders who ride in the SGP are not employed by FIM (or BSI), The riders are self-employed freelancers/consultants, so the law in question should rather be the Swizz/European Union competition/antitrust law http://ec.europa.eu/competition/antitrust/legislation/legislation.html . Read this post again: http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=75712&page=2&do=findComment&comment=2407263 It is a very similar case where ban such as those FIM insist on having were deemed to violate non-competitive laws,

Latvia have announced their lineup: Kjastas Puodzuks and Andrej Lebedev. https://twitter.com/speedwaystarmag/status/437908528179576832
