also both Dackarna and Vetlanda have been very very keen on to introduce a salary cap but you can seriously wonder what the point of it when you look at Dackarna's signings. There is no way that those riders will fit in under a £290'000 salary cap which means that the whole idea is useless.,

i've updated the first post now with some more info about the guest rider system. If things are still unclear just ask again.

yeah that was what i meant.

several changes for the teams: Jonas Davidsson have been sacked more or less from Piraterna due to that he (most likely) asked for for too much money. According to the article Jonas have already signed with a new team but he do not want to say which one. Apparently Piraterna have already signed a replacement, some thinks its Chris Holder others thinks its Tai Woffinden. http://www.corren.se/sport/motorsport/?articleId=5824429&date=&menuids= Another one who has been sacked is Ryan Sullivan, who will not be offered a new contract with Indianerna who thinks he is too hard to work with and that his temper have caused problems. Joonas Kylmäkorpi on the other hand will stay with Indianerna. He had a very good season and Indianerna have been very pleased with him. Indianernas chairman of the board, Dan Åke Moberg says that Indianerna wants to keep Anonio Lindbäck as well as Antonio Lindbäck,Niels-Kristian Iversen, Bjarne Pedersen, Grzegorz Zengota och Simon Gustafsson. Personally i am a bit surprised that they want to keep Bjarne after a quite mediocre season from him.

sorry but they have to ask the riders from the qualifiers first.

Rico stays another two seasons with Vargarna. www.nt.se/sport/artikel.aspx?ArticleID=7193314

Vaculik Kasprzak Ljung Madesen Ulamek http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Speedway_Grand_Prix_Qualification

don't think it will affect that much,

according to an article at espeedway.pl Pepe have decided to pull out of next years GP series so that he can stay at Zielona Gora in the Polish Extraliga. source.

Valsarna have retained Girgory Laguta, Ludvig Lindgen &Krzysztof Buczkowsk. They have also signed Krzysztof Kasprzak. Team manager Jerker Eriksson leaves and returns to Dackarna. Valsarna have also decided to incorporate (just their team and not the whole club) and they have also decided to start a Div1 team.

Valsarna will present the majority of their riders at a press conference tomorrow at 15.00 Swedish time.

Good news for all of us Smederna fans. Kenni Larsen have signed for another year with Smederna. http://www.ikarossmederna.nu/index.php?page=news&newsid=2108

no its not 6 races are deffo too little for a world championship. I wouldn't mind seeing another two or three Gps. I think we are at a minimum as it is.

Rory Schlein will stay with Hammarby for 2012. https://twitter.com/#!/RorySchlein3 Rospiggarna also have two confirmed riders for 2012: kim Nilsson and Timo Lahti. http://www.unt.se/sport/kim-nilsson-klar-brfor-rospiggarna-1504938.aspx Smederna is looking for a replacement for THJ and Jimmy Jansson have had a bief chat with Freddie Lindgren. http://folket.se/sportfolket/speedway/1.1227522

*rumours* are that Smedernas Daniel Henderson and Magnus "Zorro" Zetterström will go for another type of horsepower for 2012. http://www1.idrotton...asduellisadeln/

my choice would be Grigorij Laguta. Very good results in both Sweden and Poland. The question though, is if he would have problems getting a visa?

Vargarna/Ulvarna have decided to start an ice racing team. The team will be run by Ulvarna who will rent the track from Vargarna. www.nt.se/sport/artikel.aspx?ArticleID=7179981

some rumours: Fredrik Lindgren stays with Dackarna. Dackarna have signed two Australian riders. One of them is supposed to be a GP rider. so probably Holder and Ward. Its also rumoured that Batchelor have signed with Vetlanda. According to sportowefakty, Adrian Miedzinski have signed with Hammarby, Hammarby have also signed Dennis Andersson.

THJ have decided to leave Smederna for Gnistorna. THJ were about to sign for another year with Smederna when Gnistorna raised their bid more then Smederna could match. Obviously i'm quite disappointed but as always money talks.

Iris, while i agree with you Andreas Jonsson is not a good example since did his best season ever this year. Finished 2nd in the GPs and being the best rider in Elitserien and also top 5 in Ekstraliga. Hampel finished 2nd in the Gps in 2010 and was 3rd this year and very consistent in the leagues. But you're spot on regarding Hans though.

Sidney, Chris Holder managed to get in via qualifiers and 21 year old Vaculik wasn't many points away from the GPs either.....

Neither Scott Nicholls or Adrian Gomolski will be offered new contracts with Valsarna.

@Iris123, Both Holder and Bjerre came in via qualifiers and both have managed to stay within top 8 so far.

it wasn't boring but it wasn't that great either. Heats 12-15 were very good but the rest was just ok.

actually i'm not that impressed, Close racing but very little passing.
