Also Palovaara might be doubtful for Rospiggarna, not sure if he is still injured.

Don't know, website seems broken since the upgrade. Headline says preliminary line ups but is as you can see empty.

Smederna's team for Tuesday: 1. MJJ, 2. Mateuz Swidnicki, 3. Robert Lambert, 4. Patryk Wojdylo 5. Jaimon Lidsey, 6. Hellström Bängs, 7. Joel Andersson. Woryna injured and Aspgren retired so this is what is available. @racers and royals could be R/R but could also be that they will use someone else but waited for tonight's meeting in Poland.

Quite interesting that Swedish media company owns the right to the Swedish league in Britain but not in Sweden even if they just inherited the rights in the UK.

It's there but perhaps someone forgot to publish the link. https://www.svemo.se/vara-sportgrenar/start-speedway/resultat-speedway/bauhausligan-2022

Full results from Vetlanda Lag cup final. Most notably IMO is Anton Jansson scoring a very nice 7 points (1,1,2,2,1). Remember that this is his first season at 500cc. https://speedwayfans.se/hemmaseger-i-lagcupen-jag-ar-positivt-overraskad/

Historic results doesn't seem to have been migrated (yet?) but will hopefully be found below "Historiska resultat" and "Välj ett årtal".

Really gutted for Pontus, he had something really good going.

It was announced yesterday that this season's meeting will be streamed live at ESS play. Cost will be 250 SEK/month (about £19-20/€22 month). I don't know if it will be available outside Sweden. https://www.elitspeedway.com/artikel/rrdkalfva-21mi1/ess-play-ar-tillbaka

Alex Woentin has decided to retire following lack of motivation after last year's illness.

Brady Kurtz signed at Dackarna.

No Masarna for Bauhausligan this season. No info if they will have a team in div 1 (Allsvenskan not likely I think). https://www.elitspeedway.com/artikel/0tzqaldru-21mi1/masarna-kommer-inte-till-start-i-bauhaus-ligan-2023

Masarnas has received some funds from Avesta municipality (kommun) that covers some, but not all of the economic deficit Masarna have. The funds are conditioned to that Masarna have to be able to cover all of the debts + have a complete squad by end of February. Me thinks it will be very hard and that there is a risk that Masarna begin the season only to bail out in the middle of the season. Which rider would dare to sign and know before hand that they might not get paid? It would probably be a weak team which would loose most of their meetings meaning that spectators stay at home meaning less income for the team.

Just released https://www.svemo.se/nyheter/tavlingskalendern-faststalld-for-allsvenskan-2023

Will likely be released at the end of this week or early next week.

Masarna just announced that they and Antonio Lindbäck have made a joint decision to breach the contract due to the uncertainty regarding Masarna 2023. https://www.masarna.nu/artikel/cza0alcnm-33661/masarna-speedway-och-antonio-lindback-gar-skilda-vagar By this I think we can conclude that Masarna won't be seen in Elitserien 2023.

If you mean the graphics shown on the broadcasts that was Cmore or rather the production company Cmore used (outsourced it to a Latvian company IIRC). I agree about website, but Svemo.se is only results (and general administration regarding rider licenses and such/rules (publishing + providing referees)) Technically Elitsepeedway Sverige is running the league , with PR, schedules, etc and their website has highlights, post meeting reactions and etc. https://www.elitspeedway.com/ Attendances are way done post pandemic and the league doing one season with no spectators probably cost most teams (especially Vetlanda and Masarna) allot of money even if ESS president claimed otherwise. Add to that rule changes the past decade (or so) for engines/exhausts/air fences which increased costs allot for riders and teams and it's not a surprise teams are bleeding money. Last season it was pretty close for 4th-6th all the way to the end though. The biggest problem was Smederna steam rolling the entire season and paid the prize by busting the average cap. Most riders have a fixed payment or kind of ladder system. Will see if Cmores absence will affect anything, the money the paid the league/the clubs were just peanut money anyway. Speedway/motorsport in general has never attracted neither large national sponsors or large media attention, perhaps for being considerd to be a small town/rural sport far from the masses/media coverage in the big cities. Football/icehockey/handball/skiing is what gets attention/sponsors. Bauhaus extended their contract for 2023 and the league now has 4 official partners (Bahaus, Svenska spel, projob and Kaeser compressors) but I don't think the team gets that much money from them. At least not for it to be crucial for the survival. Most speedway team relies on local sponsors. Look at Smedernas sponsors, the vast majority are local companies even if there are sponsors from other parts of Sweden (like Dreamhack).

I do yes, but we'll see. Other news is that C-more has not renewed the broadcasting contract so unless another broadcaster is willing to step in any kind of broadcasting/streaming is uncertain.

I think we can say now that there won't be any Masarna for next couple of seasons. No money, but lots of debts, no riders, no staff/volunteers.

Especially good is the double headers in week 27 (round 11 and 12) and week 29 (round 13 and 14), unless it rains.

Dackarna most likely, confirmed as not riding for Smederna in 2023 and Dackarna are rumoured to be interested. Also Doyle is rumoured to Indianerna, will likely be announced by Indianerna tomorrow.

No Russian riders in Swedish league racing. https://www.elitspeedway.com/artikel/4mfsal0i5-21mi1/ryska-forare-utestangs-fran-svensk-speedway-2022

No Russian or Belarusian riders in the Danish league for 2022. https://dmusport.dk/udmelding-om-forbund-atleter-m-m-fra-rusland-og-belarus/

The original plan was to sign sign Grigorij Laguta but to current events and the uncertainty of Russian riders in European league racing Smederna didn't want to make a gamble with Grigorij.
