I would add that they occasionally is riding over the edge/their capability. Its only two years ago that one of the Pawlicki brother striked Ryan Sullivan in the Swedish final between Piraterna and Indianerna causing a broken collarbone on Ryan and forcing Indianerna to cope with 6 riders in the first final.

I think from London its Ryanair, if you don't want to go with them you can fly to either Stockholm or Helsinki and change to a flight to Tammerfors. Personally I would probably go by car via the overnight ferry from Stockholm to Åbo and then drive from Åbo to Tammerfors.

That is a good question. Quite likely the winner will either be Örnarna or Rospiggarna. Rospiggarna should meet all necessary requirements. Örnarna is rumoured to have decided that they want to advance to Elitserien however their arena, Greveby, is said to be a bit short regarding the standard. It is also rumoured that Örnarna already have reached an agreement with the Karlsson brothers,Peter, Mikael (Max) and Magnus, that they will ride for Örnarna next year if Örnarna advances to Elitserien. Imo it is also very very likely that Andreas Jonsson will move home to Rospiggarna if they are the team that earns the promotion.

I prefer the current Swedish method since its the most accurate and a true average (X / Y = average). Scored points divided by ridden heats. Very simple. The old (18 formula) system does not take into account the number of heats nut only the number of meetings. And imo it does not reflect the tactual capacity of the riders since it also was a quite slow system and large changes in the average took longer to get in affect. I think this is the 3rd or 4th season with these averages.

Yes I know but Piraterna haven't decidet yet if they will use R/R or use a replacement.

Elitserien Round 14 The final round of this years Elitserien. Piraterna, Dackarna and Västervik all have the chance for a top two finish, the top two gets straight to semi final. Västervik, Indianerna and Ikaros Smederna all have the chance to make top 4. Vargarna, Elit Vetlanda and Ikaros Smederna are fighting for places 5 and 6 which would get them into play offs. Smederna can finish 5th at the worst but it makes no difference then finishing 6th. Hammarby, Vargarna and Elit Vetlanda are all trying to avoid the last place which would mean relegation. Hammarby will be relegated, Vetlanda and Vargarna to fight for 6th. The current standings: http://www.svemo.se/...13/Serietabell/ More info in this picture: https://twitter.com/...5057280/photo/1 Basically what it says: The first paragraph is the results at each of the two arenas. To the left is the result in Motala and to the right is the needed result for Vetlanda in relation to the score in Motala. Second paragraph is: tied score in Vetlanda with bonus to Hammarby (1p Vetlanda), tied result is enough for Vagarna. tied score in Vetlanda with bonus to Vetlanda (2p Vetlanda) Vargarna need to win but don't need bonus. Vetlanda win (which will get them the bonus 3p to Vetlanda). Vargarna need to win with minimum 4p + bonus point. Then points quote will decide. Vargarna can afford to win with 14p less then Vetlanda and still Finnish 6th. The last paragraph is the opposite to the first. The result in Vetlanda to the left and how much Vargarna needs to win with in relation to the score Vetlanda.

yeah I do think he will do well but as always there is difference between riding abroad then riding in your home league,you know new environment, another type of tracks and etc. He has done well so far this season though, upping his average from 0,782 to 1,055.

One change is that he quit the Swedish league during the middle of the season. Which means 1 meeting/week in Poland plus occasional meetings in Russia. IMO that is a bit little to keep the pace up. Less occasions to get bike set up feedback and etc.

Are you from Tammerfors?

Macca, nice try but i still disgaree with you. Its a similar situation as with Leigh Adams who were in he GP top for well over a decade an a half but eventually finsihed outside top 8. The discussion then was the same then as now. He is a classy rider who have been in the top for many years, he deserves a wild card. As you know, that didn't happen. I think it will be the same witth Tomasz and Greg. If they finish outside top 8 I don't think we'll see them in the Grand Prix anymore. If they finish within top 8 I think Greg might do another year but not Tomasz.

Who do you think will replace Kjastas Puodzuks as one of the track reserves? He seems to have broken his hand/wrist yesterday?

lineups Hammarby-Smederna Hammarby 1. Grzegorz Walasek 2. Artem Laguta 3. Leon Madsen 4. Mikael Max 5. Kenneth Bjerre 6. Sebastian Aldén 7. Robin Aspegren Lagledare: Piotr Zyto & Anders Fröjd. Ikaros Smederna 1. Peter Karlsson 2. Szymon Wozniak 3. Grigorij Laguta 4. Krzysztof Buczkowski 5. Andreas Jonsson 6. Oliver Berntzon 7. Linus Eklöf Zorro have a meeting in England and I find it annoying that foreign leagues have precedence for Swedish riders for postponed meetings.

Eurosport International will re-play it 07.00 & 17.45 tomorrow on ES2 and 22.45 in ES1. Then also at 10.45 on Monday in Es1.

Masarna won the final meeting in this years allsvenskan with 48-42 and with this managed to take the final play off spot.

no thanks too expensive for the club and the GPs really ruined the track. Finally it seem like they have managed to get in back in order. But the parking lot have been ruined by a go cart track and the city is really slow with building news one around the track,

Målilla is good track but the thing that I dislike with it that its too isolated. Limited accommodations, limited public transport and etc...

So are we to assume that Tampere will replace Gothenburg and that Finlands GP will be use Got's May date?

Good get us a live stream then.

Great, now we're just waiting for a NL GP. Was it Arnhem that you said was most suitable? Now confirmed on speedwaygp.com as well: http://speedwaygp.co...-for-grand-prix

Thanks again Vlad.

Great info Vlad, thanks for your effort.

I have a contact S.B. who lives in Riga, I can check with him to see if he knows anything.

Tonight's meeting between Masarna and Griparna is postponed because of rain, new date is tomorrow. Likely Rospiggarna-Örnarna will be postponed as well. Gnistorna-Lejonen is likely to go ahead though. Rospiggarna vs. Örnarna only managed with 8 heats before it was aborted due to rain. Tonight was the final round of this year's Allsvenskan. Lejonen is currently 4th but if Masarna wins with 47-43 or more tomorrow, they'll move up into 4th. Griparna finished 6th but since there is no demotion from Allsvenskan, so they will be back in Allsvenskan next season. Final standings: Örnarna, 453 - 404, 19p Rospigagrna, 458 - 398, 17p FNC Gnistorna, 440 - 459, 11 Lejonen/Masarna Lejonen/Masarna Griparna, 387 - 422, 6p http://www.svemo.se/sv/Grenar/Speedway/Allsvenskan2013/Serietabell/

Could you tell me how many times Freddie qualified on his own and how many times he have gotten a wild card. I think he has one qualification via GP-challenge and one top 8. The rest is wild cards. THAT is what matters. I'm amazed that some people are suggesting that Gollob would deserve a wild card. I agree that he have been one of the most entertaining riders through the years but those days are long gone. Tomek is no longer the GP-rider he once was. You can't hand out wild card based on something that was 5-10-15-20 years ago. You have to look at this season and at next season. He didn't look to interested last year and even less interested this year. Its time to let go of the old generation and welcome the new generation with Emil, Tai, Darcy, Holder, MJJ, Dudek, Janowski...

yes he did but so what? He have had more wild cards then places acquired by qualifying on his own.
