Masarna have signed Christian Hefenbrock, he will replace Fredrik Andersson.

speedway.nu won't be used any more, league scores will be available at http://www.svemo.se/Grenar/Speedway/ (click the appropriate league in the left column) also there are only two meetings tomorrow, Percy Lundqvist cup and a "season warm up" meeting between Rospiggarna and Ikaros Smederna. The leagues starts next week. edit* is the step son perhaps Kozza Smith? in that case he'll be riding in Percy Lundqvist which is hosted by Eskilstuna Speedway. http://www.eskilstunaspeedway.se/ I don't know if they will have live updates.

i wouldn't get my hope set to high as they stubbornly continues to use qrodo which proved last year and last week that it isn't a good solution to use for high speed sports.

and on thursday May 5th multiple Allsvenskan streams will be available at http://live.speedwayallsvenskan.se/ the meetings scheduled are: Örnarna-Rospiggarna Masarna- Ikaros Smederna FNC Gnistorna-Avantia Speedway

i'd say that Lee R will give Nicki a run for the glory. Especially since Lee R usuallu rides very well at Kråkvilan. Anyway VIktor Palovaara is a young Swedish riders who is doing is second season on 500cc. He is 17 years old, he is from Karlstad? and was very successful as an 80cc rider.

no. forum Anders is another person. I believe his last name is Nilsson and that he still is team manager for Nässjö? Anders Fröjd have previously been team manager for Hammarby, Västervik and Lejonen.

imo Vetlanda is a bit like gaters paradise so i think riders like Hans and Zorro will be quite successful if they manage to qualify for GPC.

He will replace Rene Bach who his long time injured.

Valsarna have signed krzysztof buckowski

Svemo have decided to not use speedway,nu for this season, instead Svemo will handle the live updates and results themselves. official averages can be found here: http://www.svemo.se/Grenar/Speedway/Elitserien/Aktuellasnitt/ http://www.svemo.se/Grenar/Speedway/Allsvenskan/Aktuellasnitt/ http://www.svemo.se/Grenar/Speedway/Div1/Aktuelllasnitt/

apparently David Ruud crashed in Vetlanda and is injured. You've got any more info Anders?

Ladyluck last season is last season and poor or good performance then does not mean that all riders will do the same this season. Personally i think that AJ, LIndbäck and THJ will be better this season then they were last year. LIndbäck have started this season really well. Regarding AJ, already before Bydgoszcz, last season, he had employed Carl Blomfeldt as his chief mechanic and possibly also as engine tuner(?).

i agree that Svemo usually changes allot from one season to another and why they have done that i don't know, perhaps they don't know themselves. however it was only meant to be 8 teams this season with the 8th being relegated directly and with 8 teams it would be a bit too many teams in the playoffs if they would keep the system with a 6 team playoff. So they decided to revert back to the system that was used in 2004-2006 with a 4 team playoff. I think that was made to keep the interest from the teams to give it all, all season. With 6 teams the top 3-4 maybe would have secured a play off with many meetings to go. I also think the frequent changes the past years is because the systems used haven't been really "100%" good and that both fans, teams and Svemo feels that they might want to have it in another way. The only thing i really wonder why the changed is why the changed from match-averages to heat-averages. I think 2011 will in many ways be a testing season, with the new averages system, new playoff and relegation, a new guesting system that replaces the partner teams. Personally i think the new guest system, quite nice to have some of the bigger Swedish names riding in Allsvenskan in 2011. I also hope that the webstreams from Allsvenskan will work better then Smedernas streams did 2010, @mateusz, sorry i had forgotten to put in the dates for the playoffs and relegation series, i've fixed it now.

Bysarnas new track at Hejdeby, near Visby on Gotland, have been heavily delayed. The reason to the delay is that the past winter was longer then expected and that there fell more snow then expected. This means that the 80cc track, at the earliest, won't be finished until the 2012 season. In the meantime Bysarnas 80cc team will have their home meetings at the Veddesta track outside Stockholm.

Avantia Speedway have signed Joe Haines and Danil Ivanov, http://www.nt.se/nyheter/artikel.aspx?articleid=6757761

Niklas Klingberg have decided to quit. He says that lack of motivations is the cause. http://mvt.se/sport/speedway/1.1161911-klingberg-lagger-av

this is the list i mentioned in my previous post. http://www.svemo.se/ImageVault/Images/id_4466/scope_0/ImageVaultHandler.aspx

there is a list available already. however it only has the riders that rode in sweden last year and riders are sorted by what them they were registered with last season. but as far as i know there is no info similar to the one speedway.nu used to have, since Svemo have decided to handle it themselves this season.

after a new crash (luckily without injuries) two riders started to fight each other. Stefan Svensson caused him and Per-Anders Lindström to fall, apparently PAL became a bit upset and when he had got up on his feet he attacked Svensson, who was still lying down, with punches until staff managed to stop him. http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/motor/article12822545.ab

due to changes in the British Elitleague, Daniel King will not be available for Smederna

@Dexer i dont know, time will tell how the issue will develop. Anyway Svemo made an announced today the new team manager for the Swedish national team. Elit Vetlanda's Bosse Wirebrand have been appointed new TM for Team Sweden, which means responsibilities when it comes to World Cup team and coaching. It also means that Bosse will be in charge of nominations for GP/EuroChamp qualifications. Bosse says that he will continue his work for Elit Vetlanda as usual and that his employer, Elitfönster (Vetlanda's main sponsor) and Elit Vetlanda have all approved to let Bosse take on the national Team. Bosse also says that he will try to give support to those that participates in the qualifications. He then says that its important that the riders gets the info in time and that it is important that Sweden defends its position in the speedway world (world cup). He ends with that he finds it exiting that the GP Challenge will be held at Vetlanda's track. (but honestly i am not that thrilled about it). "there are several Swedish riders that are really fast around Vetlanda's track. Svemo also announced that a new development group has been started. Masarnas team manager Mats Olsson together with Peter Jansson (tm for Vargarna) and Anders Kling (formerly Dackarna, now instructor at Hultsfred Speedway High Shool). The idea with this groups is to catch the young talents with the help of several training camps. An elite group will also be created during the year. Me, Peter and Anders have a long experience with U21 speedway and we have followed the development during the past 20 years. We believe in this and we are really on fire for our U21 riders, says Mats Olsson. 2011 is a very important years for Swedish U21 speedway, since many of the best U21 riders are doing their last years as U21's. There are potential in all of them to achieve something great duringthis season. Mats olsson says that he wont be surprised if we have some World Championship medals among these guys when the season have finished. Pierre Gustafsson will stay as tm for the 80cc national team. http://www.svemo.se/...nsiktenpaSVEMO/ /// personally i believe in this too. Bosse, i would think, is one of the major contributing factors to Vetlandas success the past 6-7 years or so and i think that the U21 trio will do good too. Hopefully this will be slightly more long term solution rather then just a "quick fix".

unfortunately the stream seams to have the same kind of working level as last year very choppy one second and then 3x speed the next.
