the postoned meeting between Vargarna and Norrköping was held earlier tonight. Vargarna won with a crushing 58-38. Individual Scores: Vargarna: Adam Skornicki 12, Adam Shields 11, Adrian Miedzinski 10, Scott Nicholls 9, Joe Screen 7, Jonas Andersson 4, Kim Nilsson 3, Niklas Klingberg 2. Rospiggarna: Greg Hancock 15, Charlie Gjedde 9, Henrik Gustafsson 8, Maciej Janowski 3, Jonas Messing 2, Janusz Kolodziej. Spectators: 612.

Anders if may ask, Ikaros Smederna's presenter Zetters interviewed an Anders twice during the meeting was that you?

it will be shown only on Canal+'s webb-tv; http://www.csports.se/speedway.aspx but only if you live in any of the nordic countries. Klingberg is not confirmed. Its only confimred that Tai wont be able to ride but obviously its easier for Vargarna to use Klingberg then kennett.

forgot to mention that Vargarna-Rospiggarna got postponed until tonight because of track preparation mistakes. Vargarna had watered the track during the afternoon expecting it to dry up in time for the start. Unfortunately a few heavy rain showers hit the track later during the afternoon. This meant that the track became to soaked with water and despite attempts to grade it its was too waterlogged for speedway racing. A new attempt will be made this evening at 19.00 CEST. Tai Woffinden will most likely be replaced with Niklas Klingberg. Västervik didint have any schedule meeting this night due to the uneven number of teams (9).

unfortunately there have been a few accidents at tonigts meetings. In the meeting between Lejonen and Indianerna Holder and Simon Gustafsson had a crash and Simon was taken away by ambulance with a suspected broken collar bone. Holder managed to escape without serious injury and was able to ride his remaing heats. Lejonen without Nicki but with Adams eventually won with 53-43. Simon is expected to need about a month for heeling and recovery. Lejonen–Indianerna 53–43 Individual Scores: Lejonen: David Watt 14 points(6 heat), Leigh Adams 13 (5), David Ruud 10 (5), Chris Holder 10 (5), Piotr Swiderski 5 (5), Dennis Andersson 1 (2), Tomasz Jedrzejak 0 (3), Robert Pettersson 0 (1). Indianerna: Piotr Protasiewicz 16 (6), Grzegorz Walasek 9 (6), Rune Holta 8 (6), Leon Madsen 4 (3), Matej Ferjan 3 (3), Jesper B Monberg 2 (5), Simon Gustafsson 1 (2). Spectators: 2 693 Dackarna vs. Piraterna also ended 53-43 but the biggest loss for Piraterna was Robert Kosciecha's injuy. According to this news article he suffered a highside(?) (dont have a better word for it) and he fell and was hit by Rory Schlein. Robert was taken to hospital where the x-rays shown that the left wrist is broken and have to be operated. The fracture need about 8 weeks to heal properly. Dackarnas was over 10p behind after the first heats but managed to get back and win. Dackarna-Piraterna 53-43 Dackarna: Fredrik Lindgren 13, Hans Andersen 13, Andreas Jonsson 11, Peter Karlsson 6, Nikolai Klindt 6, Rory Schlein 2, Ludvig Lindgren 2 Piraterna: Daniel Nermark 11, Jonas Davidsson 10, Damian Balinski 9, Rafal Dobrucki 7, Antonio Lindbäck 4, Linus Sundström 2 Spectators: 4 510 The third meeting that actually was able to go on, although almost one hoyr delayed because of rain, was Ikaros Smederna vs. Elit Vetlanda were Smederna lead through the major part of the meeting but Vetlanda successfully managed to make some tactical Substitutes towards the end. Vetlanda won in the end with 50-46 after two 5-1s and one 4-2 in the last 4 heats. Mikael Max made the passing of the meeting when he in the 10th heat passed Crump, Jagus and Hampel in one sweep on the inside on the first find directly after start. Crump easily re-passed Max at the end of the starigh but Jagoda and Max managed to hold on to the 3-3. Crump was outstanding with a paid maximum . Hampel and Lee R found the speed at the end and both managed to score 12p. Peter Ljung didnt do especially well scoring only 1p. THJ well we all know what he is going through and its probably good for him to continue riding. Had a fall in heat 3 but it wasnt anything serious. THJ scored 2p. Both Troy Batchelor and Kasprzak were quite lost in this meeting and both need to improve especially from Kasper. Zorro was ok not more, not less. King was pretty good and started with 2+1, 3 and 2 but then finished with zero x2. Jagus was good as usual but failed to beat Crump in any heat although he was very close in heat 4. Micke Max continues to ride well the only minus was that he didnt manage to win heat 11 where he scored 2p and was beaten by Sebastian Aldén. Micke eneded on 12p. Linus Eklöf not much to say about him. Smederna-Vetlanda 46-50 Smederna: Mikael Max 12, Wieslav Jagus 11, Daniel King 7, Krzystof Kasprazak 6, Magnus Zetterström 5, Troy Batchelor 3, Linus Eklöf 2 Vetlanda: Jason Crump 16, Lee Richardson 12, Jaroslaw Hampel 12, Sebastian Aldén 7, Thomas H Jonasson 2, Peter Ljung 1 Spectactors: 1 886

Tomas H Jonasson comments the death of his father: http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/moto...ticle5072680.ab

a note on Vargarna-Rospiggarna is that Sullivan is replaced by Janowski.

Robin Bergqvist will be the nr8 rider for Ikaros Smederna. To be honest i dont think Smederna is strong enough to beat Vetlanda so i anticipate a win for Vetlanda but as you know anything can happen in speedway. Zorro will also make his first home meeting since the return home to Ikaros Smederna. The biggest concern is the weather. The forecasts, who probably are a bit unreliable, doesnt look rain is expected the question is how much and for how long it will rain.

of course i will be cheering for Vaculik!

yeah i second that, we want sticky!

SVT 24, free public service Tv (like swedish BBC). can be seen almost anywhere in the country. The GPs will also be broadcasted via svt.se/play Sadly SVT has the past years decided to show the gps with a initially 30 minute delay that eventually will catchup the live action.

I think Vaculik or Buczek might be an option for next weeks meeting especially Vaculik. He apparently rode very well the past weekend.

well you cant go by train all the way. There are multiple train and bus combinations: FRom Gothenburg: http://tinyurl.com/cwdy7q from stockholm (Arland Airport) http://tinyurl.com/ccyxu4 from Stockholm (Skavsta Airport) http://tinyurl.com/df4agy from Malmö (Central rail saw Stn): http://tinyurl.com/dbtdeb please note that these times are just an example. Since you cant search for time tables further away then June 13th. but this will give you an idea abour your options. turism info for Småland: http://www.visit-smaland.com

tnx Anders for your compilation of tonights meetings. Hopefully Vetlanda wont be so successful next week but i anticipate you will

well he has been pretty good as reserve but not as a 1-5 rider. interviews from several of tonights meetings can be found here: http://www.sr.se/cgi-bin/radiosporten/nyhe....asp?grupp=7514

yeah also good riding from Max 15+2 on 6 heats. Only 5p from Jagoda which is very surprising.

the latest news is that Both Greg Hancock and Maciej Janowski is stuck in traffic and they might not make it in time to the meeting start.
