That is how it have been previous years but according to the official calender both meetings are held on Tuesday, http://www.svemo.se/speedway scroll down to where it says "kommande tävlingar" change 10 to 50 and if you scroll down you'll have the following;

Both QF's are on Tuesday next week, and yes it will be from Indianerna - Ikaros Smederna. Jonsson and Zorro was major disappointments tonight and a four point lead is probably not enough.

Harris rode last week as well but only scored 3p.

you are correct although Eurosport Nordic is a local version of Eurosport International. British Eurosport is different from ES intl as they have their own rights and feed. In the Nordic countries, except Iceland, Viasat Sport have the rights for SGP.

Interesting as there are rumours/claims about SGP in Berlin next year.

I doubt that they will give a wild card to Gollob, if they want another Polish rider besides Jarek, either of Dudek or Janowski are probably more likely to get one. Ward won't need a wild card. He'll be top 8 when the season is finished unless he gets injured or something like that.

So here we are, another season have already come and (almost gone). Only four weeks of playoffs are remaining. Both Allsvenskan and Elitserien playoffs starts next week, with Elitserien quarter-finals leg 1 on Tuesday and Allsvenskan semi finals leg 1 on Thursday. Elitserien quarterfinals: August 20th: Ikaros Smederna - Indianerna This will be aired on tv as well but with much less focus then the other QF. race card: http://www.mediafire...-Indianerna.pdf Ikaros Smederna Grigorij Laguta Magnus Zetterström (K) Peter Karlsson Krzysztof Buczkowski Andreas Jonsson Linus Eklöf Oliver Berntzon Indianerna Rune Holta Joonas Kylmäkorpi Piotr Protasiewicz (K) Antonio Lindbäck Niels-Kristian Iversen Mathias Thörnblom Krzysztof Jablonski Damian Balinski A very interesting quarter final. Smederna won with only 2p at home but lost quite big in the final round. However I do believe that Smederna will do a better meeting at Indianerna's track this time. But Smederna really need to improve their starts since they been pretty much rubbish the second half of the season. I think that Smederna needs about 6-8 points at home to still be in reach of the semis for the return meeting. Smederna have signed Thomas Charnowski as a replacement for the replacement for Kenni. Charnowski is not listed in the lineup since he is not been registered yet. Personally I'm very sceptical about this signing. Charno haven't really scored much in Sweden at all in his latest couple of tries. Västervik - Elit Vetlanda #tv meeting# race card: http://www.mediafire...litVetlanda.pdf Västervik: Hans Andersen Peter Ljung Chris Harris Troy Batchelor Daniel Nermark Tomasz Jedrzejak Daniel Davidsson Elit Vetlanda Martin Vaculik Bartosz Zmarzlik Jarek Hampel Thomas H Jonasson Janusz Kolodziej Ricky Kling Jacob Thorssell In this quarter final I think Vetlanda will go through. They have a much higher home advantage then Västervik However I hope that Västervik can up their game now when it matters the most. They would really deserve it after a very good season.

Smederna have replaced injured Kjastas Poudzuks with Tomas Chranowski.

Actually I disagree, I think the referee did the right thing. KK was way too wide and his sole purpose was to block Pawlicki. Its the same when exiting bends, riders often "turn right" just to block another rider. Personally I don't like manoeuvres such as KK's. I want to see passing not blocking.

T.N.T, Lindgren have had way too many already. Also as said if Gollob misses top 8 well have nice retireent mr G. Holder and Grigorij Laguta should have one each. The other two will depend on the GP-challenge.

Nah it was decent but not more. A few good heats but way too much loose top surface and a bit to dry. I've seen better this year but there have also been worse GPs.

I know you're just an internet troll but seriously? Sure Przedpełski is talented and usually really good at his home track but Janowski or Dudek or Prz Pawlicki would bet better choices.

I a pretty sure now that Greg won't need a wild card for 2014 if he decides to do another year. Darcy should also be able to get himself in by own power rather then via a wild card. This means that Gollob, Lindgren and the other below him will miss out on top 8 but it depends on how BSI will do if any of the top 8 also qualifies in Poole.

A bit early maybe but I thinks it pretty certain now that Tai will take the title. Imo Emil's problem is the lack of speed, especially on slick tracks.

Tony Rickardsson, 43 years old today.

italy out, Germany in?

I don't know only one confirmed so far.

I would guess though that Emil knows the track better though compared to Tai?

either Timo Lahti as WC with Kalle Katajisto and Kauko Nieminen as track reserves. or Joonas Kylmäkorpi as WC with Lahti and Nieminen as track reserves.

That actually requires both of them to want to be in the series.

Now that the series are done for this year, it is nice to take a look at the statistics. Imo Sportowefakty has the best statistics page. http://www.sportowef...statystyki/2013 Take a look at the Dom (at home) category and you can see that Grigorij Laguta is the best home rider, with an average of 2.700p/heat, Jarek is 2nd with 2,667 and Darcy is 3rd with 2,615. 2.7/heat is 10.8 from 4 rides, 13.5 from 5, 16,2 from 6 and 18,9 from 7 rides. Sportowefaktys overall list is topped by Darcy, Holder, Greg, Jarek and Grigorij. The official list looks a bit different due to that it does not include bonus. http://www.svemo.se/...3/Rankinglista/

yep, not to be confused with the lovely Danish tennis Player Caroline Wozniacki.

yes that is correct.
