i thought it was a fractured scapula (fraktur på skulderbladet)?

my revised pick. I think the 8th place is between those in italic text

my revised pick

King is one of your 3-4 best riders even if his form is a bit questionable at the moment judging bu his 3 latest meetings in Sweden. Although its possible that his concussion a few weeks ago might affect him still.

as always it depends on the severity of the injury. According to the following article normally it takes 6 weeks to heal. http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1263076-treatment this article http://www.mdguidelines.com/fracture-scapula claims 6-8 weeks.

well i suppose they have reserves for a reason; to be called in in case of injuries.

if you can fly with Ryanair, then fly to Nyköping-Skavsta which is about 240km north from Målilla. If you cant/dont want to fly with Ryanair then you can either fly to Kastrup-Copenhagen or to Stockholm Arlanda both are about 360km away from Målilla.

i actually have a picture from Smederna vs. Vargarna. This little fellow, i think his name is Adams or Andreas Ceder, was doing a few show laps while we waited for the start of the first heat which was delayed because allot of people was stuck in a cue on the freeway trying to get to the meeting.

my opinion on the Smederna vs. Vargarna meeting: The track: it was very awful today way to dry and with very little passing. I know the weather have been hot and dry for over a week but Smederna seriously got to try and make the track more grippy since neither of our riders seems to be particular quick from the gate. At some of the past meetings this years the track have been quite grippy but not tonight. It was obvious in many heats that Smederna's rider were quicker then Vargarna's but was was unable to get passed the opponents. It started well with a 4-2 for Smederna before e Vargarna turned it around with 4 straight heat wins via a 5-1 in heat 2 were Tai and Kim took the gate and didnt have any trouble keeping it for 4 laps. Heat 6 featured Jagus as a tactical replacement for Buczek and Jagus and Kasper managed a 4-2 with Jagus taking his first heat win for the night. Then two 3-3 heat followed with out any particular excitement before Max and Jagus took Smederna an additional two oints closer aftrer a 4-2 in heat 9 where Max was in as a tactical replacement for Eklöf. Zorro and Vaculik both switched bikes to the 10th heat and that was a successful switch since they tied up the score at 30-30 with a 5-1 win over Adams Shields who solely had to be up against Smedernaäs riders when Tai managed to get himself excluded because of a 2min violation. Vaculik and Eklöf were very hungry for a revenge in heat 11 (the second reserve heat) when they easily defeated Tai & Kim Nilsson and scored Smederna's second 5-1 for the evening. in heat 12 and 13 Smederna pulled away with 2x 4-2, in heat 13 Max made a superb first bend where he went around both of Vargana's riders on the outside :D and KK on the inside but he somehow screwed up on ther last lap when Smederna having a 5-1 position and Miedzinski managed to pass him in the first bend on the last lap Kasper was very close on taking it back over then finish lap but referee decided that Miedzinski was ahead. Heat 14 was thee usual story where Smederna had the chance to secure the victory but failed like many times before. Smederna had 3-3 on and off for the entire heat but Jagus and Zorro managed to get in each other way all the time and they lost the heat with 2-4. Heat 15 was even worse where both Zorro and Vaculik missed the start completely and vargarna pulled away to an easy 5-1 win. With only a 2p lead before the final heat the pressure was on Jagus and Max but Max showed who was king of the evening when he soared away to another easy win Jagus tried for 4 laps to pass Miedzinski but, as the track was in the shape it was, Jagoda'ss attempt were without Success. My opinion on Smederna's riders: Zorro: 7p is an ok score but he can do better Max, 17p!!!!!!! well his scores speaks for it self, just a bit too bad that didn't manage with a maximum tonight. Kasper well another disappointing meeting from this rider. he needs to do MUCH better for it to be ok, he needs to at least score 10p/meeting for it to be ok. the question is if we can find a replacement for him next week as Troy and Misiek doesn't seem to be fit and King has lost his form completely. Buczek not much points from him either. He was pretty good during his first season with us but its possible that the severe crash he had last season is still affecting him. Jagoda did an ok meeting with 10p but is too slow to often in the start. two 1s and a 0 isn't ok from a nr5 rider like Jagus. Eklöf well apart from the 2+1 in heat 11 he was as mediocre has many time before the only reason that he still is riding is that we don't have any good replacement ...yet Vaculik he can do allot of better then 6p but he had a crash in Poland nine days ago where he suffered a concussion so maybe it is still bothering him coz' he is much better then 6p against Vargarna. The victory earned Smederna 2+1 points and brought them up above into the top 6 but i cant see that we'll stay there for especially long as we only have 2 home meetings to go and allot of difficult away meetings, with Vetlanda being the next stop next week where i dont think we'll get over 30p.

What kinda way is that to threat your guests?

Buczek actually replaces Miskowiak who was supposed to ride as nr4 but misiek injured a foot in the past sunday's meeting between Ostrow and Tarnow.

well King is better then you think atleast from what i have seen from him last season and this allthough i can admit that he have been out of form the past few meetings in Sweden. SO i think King is as good as Kennett if not better. Especially on proper dpeedwaytracks.

no scott and no Rico but Harris, Kennett, Tai, King and Bridger if i remember it correctly

spook, King is 4 years younger then Harris so in what way wouldn't king be a name for the future if Harris would?

i found a picture at swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter; Scott's right Hook

so? Emil tried to change line but did it too early and caught Scotts backwheel. AS for the fining i dont think IMG/FIM had the gutt to ban them because the next gp is in Latvia and i suspect that allot of Russians would travel there to watch Emil. I think that IMG are afraid that if they would have banned Emil from this GP then allot of people would stay home instead of going to the GP.

i dont like this. shouldnt all riders qualify on merit instead then because that the final is being held in their home country?

i think these will go through. i have'nt been able to choose between those who are not listed in bold.

he had a crash in this weeks Elitserien meeting, dont know his status or if he will ride in Poland today.

i think after seeing the video that both Emil and NIcholls were to blame should be awared a one gp ban instead of the silly fine they got; $600 for the ruskie and $500 for the global superstar. about the refs decisions tonight well he wasn't consistent. if he excluded Chris when hans more or less fell on his own Hans should have been treated the same way when he rammed Nicki.

Lindbäck and Nermark was injured, Karlsson was occupied with a meeting in Britain. i dont know why Bergström didnt ride.

Copenhagens central station is called "Københavns Hovedbanegård" (= Copenhagen head railyard).

i have been able to find partial results from that meeting: 1. Team Indians 43 poäng Alexander Edberg 12+2 Freddy Godlund 12+1 Alexander Claesson 11+1 Mikael Renner 5+1 Marcus Johansson 3+1 2. Lotsarna 36 poäng 3. Oslo Mk 29 Poäng http://www.indianerna.nu/nyhet.php?id=1579 normaly results will be available at these websites aswell: http://www.oslomk.no/article.asp?w=54990636&x=18721 http://www.speedwayresultat.com/2009/jensen/index.html
