i think it will be 20 heats plus a final and the champion is the winner of the final.

that is a quite likely scenario. Smederna will only be asked if both Rospiggarna and the demotion series looser turns the offer down.

Apparently Canal+ Extra 3 will show the final live at 16.00 Swedish time, and sorry Alan even if i had a tv-card i couldn't stream it since i don't have a C+ subscription.

the final starts at 16.00 Swedish time. you are correct in your assumption that the tv broadcast is a delayed ("re-live") version.

THJ took a decision after Tuesday's meeting that he would take a few days rest. So that he would be fit for Saturday's Individual Swedish Championship, it is.

he is a Rospigg from the start but he has been riding a few years for Dackarna/Luxo now. He still lives in Hallstavik some 10 minutes or so from the track. And of course he has an affection for them and as i said. He probably don't earn particular much from the racing itself. But merely considers it as a nice gesture for the team and the fans. The he gets some good practice from it as well. so IMO its a win win situation. Greg Hancock doesn't live that far away either.

not that much i would say. (much?) less then what he would earn in England i'd say. However riding for Rospiggarna saves him the trouble of going back and forward between Sweden and England. I think racing Tuesday -Thursday- Sunday every other week plus Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday-Sunday the other weeks suits him well since it will give him time for his family as well.

a correction Alan, only the biggest kids are allowed to use the 80cc bikes. he younger kids uses mikrospeedwaybikes (or rather mikro sized MX bikes) as they are very slow and very easy to handle. IMO the lack of mikrospeedway and 80cc speedway is why British speedway is where it is. When the kids gets old enough to try speedway, they've already interested themselves in other sports/things.

before the season started.some teams were sceptical about the streaming as they feared that it would cause people to stay home instead of attend the tracks. Guess what they were WONG. Spectator sizes have been impressive and way above expectations. the top note is Smederna vs Masarna when over 3200 people watched it at the track. Since 2006, Smederna have only had 3 meetings with attendances over 3000.

well thats what everyone thought Masarna would do aswel but we do know how that story ended? (two injured riders a win for Smederna), edit its impossible without Gunny though, who have been replaced by Rasmus Broberg. http://ta.svemo.se/Public/Pages/Competition/Speedway/CompetitionLiveResult.aspx?Branch=Speedway&Datefilter=Today&pagesize=6&CompetitionId=381

it has rained some the last few days but its supposed to be a quite sunny but windy evening. No rain is expected.

Dackarna may run into serious problems. Except for poor form on most of the riders resulting in a 14p loss against Valsarna. Dackarna's Rune Holta is considering to give up this season due to his injuries. He says that the pain is to big and that he cant ride using technique that he is used to. The Doctors have told him that he will be fine but that he needs surgery and plenty of time to let it heal. For Dackarna this mean that they have to find a replacement since they already have Pavlic injured. Although transfer windows have been scrapped, team are allowed to replace a longterm injured rider until that rider resumes his or hers competing. http://www.racemcsport.com/holta-kan-tvingas-avsta-resten-av-sasongen

THJ seems to have aged very quickly. : http://sverigesradio.se/sida/gruppsida.aspx?programid=179&grupp=7514&artikel=4694666

well i'm pretty sure that Ole Bramserud have nothing to do with Greg.

next weeks tv meeting, Piraterna (40) vs, Elit Vetlanda (50)

wonder what happened with Hammarby? four straight 1-5s? But what a great performance by Indianerna.

Zorro Blue G4, Gollob Red G2, Kylmä White G1, Antonio Yellow G3

good to see that he escaped unharmed. ref freezes the heat and its 5-1 to Indianerna.
