very warm here too. Looking at the forecasts, it seems that the warm weather will continue, so at the moment i doubt that there will be any iceracing at Gubbängen at January 10th.

I dont think Greg will win it again in 2012 simply since since 1995 only two riders have managed to win two consecutive titles. T-Rick (1998-1999+2001+2002) and Nicki (2007+2008) but like most others i think we'll see the same top 8 next year as this year but not necessarily in the same order.

Its not looking good weather wise in Sweden for Ice Racing. Very mild/warm weather is expected and forecasts says that it might get as warm as +8-10 Celsius at the beginning of next week.

The individual Swedish Championship will be held in Vetlanda. U21 and USM (80cc) will be held on August 11th while the main final will be held on June 6th. http://www.svemo.se/Grenar/Speedway/Nyheter/SM-finalernaiSpeedway2012avgorsiVetlanda/ It also seems like tickets for league might be available for online order via Ticnet.se http://www.svemo.se/Grenar/Speedway/Nyheter/Hjalpmedbiljettforsaljningen/

Vargarna's iceracing event is also postponed due to the weather. http://laget.se/vargarnaspeedway/3884-nyhetsarkiv-item-140553.html

Most likely due to that his average would be too high in relation to the expected points from him. He would come in on a 1,84 average which is the same as 7,4p from 4 heats. Personally i don't think he would be able to maintain the required level to match his average and i would guess that the teams in Elitserien are of a similar opinion. Especially now when teams only can have 7 riders and the need for two Swedish riders/Lineup.

Lewvis Bridger what?

I haven't seen an official statement from Svemo yet but since Valsarna published them on their website they should be legitimate. I've added them to the first page. Playoff dates will be about decided later when the British leagues have decide their fixtures.

We are about 9.4 million People in Sweden and 5,5 million people in Denmark. In the UK there are about 62,2 million people so Swedish and Danish Gps have a higher attendance in relation to population then GB/Cardiff. So basically there is just as many people in the London metropolitan area as in Sweden and Denmark combined. Also Swedish Elitserien have an average attendance of 2900 people per meeting. http://www.aktuellsp...php?id=1&s=2011 Surely its easier to fill up a large stadium if you have a larger population.

Smederna's Linus Eklöf will continue as a guestrider for Dackarna. http://ekuriren.se/sport/speedway/1.1282045-linus-hoppas-pa-guld-med-dackarna

Hammarby have signed Piotr Swiderski despite that Hammarby's squad is already full. So they have to remove someone if they want to add Swiderski to the squad. http://bajenspeedway.se/Joomla_1.5.15-Stable-Full_Package/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=469:piotr-swiderski-atervaender-till-hammarby-speedway&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=18

yeah that is correct.

Well i would guess that the first Allsvenskan meeting isn't until April 26th so it will only be one April Thursday.

Daniel Gunnestad and Rasmus Eklöf takes the two final slots in Smedernas squad.

When Hammarby dropped Karpow to Örnarna on a loan they freed up a slot in the team which have been filled with Magnus "Zorro" Zetterström. Teams are to be registered at Svemo today (December 1st) at the latest. Guestrider contracts is to be registered at Svemo at the latest of December 15th. There will be a transfer windows just before the season start where teams can make changes to their team, however they will not be allowed to change guestriders.

Kalle Katajisto is the final signing for Rospiggarna.

1. There are teams that have slots to fill but of these, Vargarna have room under the average cap, but i not so sure that Vargarna will pick him up. I don't think they have enough capacity budget wise. 2. Well i would guess that teams considers his average a bit too high as well as i suspect that Ryan might ask for a bit too much pay wise. Ad to that one team less next year which means there are larger amount of available riders. Another factor is that Ryan perhaps is not interested? read some claims that he will focus on Poland and Russia.

correct the latest couple of signings: Smederna Peter Karlsson Magnus "Zorro" Zetterström both as guestriders. Hammarby Tomasz Gollob Karpow leaves Hammarby for Örnarna. Örnarna Andrej Karpov Daniel Pytel Alexander Loktajev. Masarna Ted Hagansbo Freddie Broms Guestrider: Linus Sundström I also made a google earth file with locations and basic info for the teams in Elitserien and Allsvenskan. get it here: http://www.mediafire...2if6t3al0ec5aze

i received a reply today. The reason to why they only removed Bartosz Zmarzlik was so that it wouldn't affect the points of the other riders. I don't know i think you still could dispute weather it was correct or not correct to leave the other riders and the meeting score unaltered. If i could have decided i would have changed the heat score from 4-0 to 5-1. I've checked the rulebook as well but it doesn't cover this scenario.

Mads Korneliussen to Rospiggarna.

Zengota to Piraterna.

Ice racing at Eskilstuna? Smederna have been asked, by Peter Jansson who is team manager for the national ice racing teams, to host race perhaps already in the beginning of 2012. Peter says that Smedernas track would be suitable for ice racing. I Assume that he would know but would it really work on a track with banked bends? http://ekuriren.se/s...pas-pa-isracing

Peter Ljung actually entered the qualification and managed to ride himself into the Grand Prix Challenge at Vetlanda. There he finished 6th which is more then you can say about the regular charity cases of Harris and Lindgren. That means he is more worthy of his place then beggars Harris and Lindgren which are the real laughing stock as they constantly fails to qualify on their own.

Peter Ljung is confirmed as a 2012 SGP rider. He was 3rd reserve after GPC in Vetlanda. When Pepe, Kasper and Vaculik turned down their offers, Ljung was the next in line. A replacement for Darcy will be announced later. http://speedwaygp.co...-2012-sgp-field

Svemo says that the fixtures for 2012 that have been circulating in media, are just suggestions from the teams and that the a finished fixture list is expected to be available on the beginning of December.
