Well i think the riders who qualifies would like more then a few weeks to find new sponsors sincr riding in the GP isn't especially cheap and to adjust their team for GP riding.

it is now

As a result of that Andreas was fined after he dropped out of this years Individual Swedish Final (without a valid reason according to the referee and according to SVEMO), Andreas has decided not to participate in next years World Cup. Neither will he ride in next years individual Swedish final. He says in an interview with TT (a news agency) that he blames SVEMO for his decision because they talk about making the sport safer after the last years severe crashes but still they wanted to get on with the SM final at alls costs despite a very wet track. He also claims that the dialogue between SVEMO and the riders arent especially good. Andreas also says that he has considered to apply for a Polish licence since he already have a Polish ID Card and soon also a Polish Passport. the article can be read in Swedish or in English.

the total of Vetlandas 1-5 are stronger then Lejonens 1-5 but Lejonen has a stronger reserve pair

Correct. they change the race off rules a few years ago. it used to be one heat with one rider from each team.

no the weather have been pretty good the past days in southern sweden.

nice move by crumpy

yeah its gonna be a race off now. probably Crump vs. AJ.

i think Holta and lee for Vetlanda in heat 15 vs. PK and Freddie for dackarna. Heat 16 Hampel and Crump for Vetlanda and Hans and AJ for Dackarna.

it doesnt work especially well for me either

nope its free

nope, just a regular speedwayfan.

i've changed the title for this topic to Preview for the Swedish 2009 season (from Silly season for the Swedish 2009 season). Meaning we can use this thread for general discussion about next years speedway season in Sweden.

links to live updates and lineups are in the first post. Tuesday and Wednesday next week.

either from http://www.soccer-live.pl/transmisje.php?id=motorsport or from canal+'s webb tv (not sure if it works for non swedish people but you could always email them and ask).

i dont know if its 100% certain yet but Riders Replacement will most likely not be allowed in Swedish league speedway next season.

Well Bream. Vetlanda has to win tomorrows race in Vetlanda with atleast 5p before they get to race next week

the semi finals will start shortly. see first post for links and lineups. there is a change for tonights lineups. Elit Vetlanda replaces nr2 Peter Ljung with Karol zabik.

the weather forecasts for the rest of this week looks promising. Its expected to be sunny or at least partially sunny throughout the week. So hopefully there will be no problem with Friday's U21 final.

Poland won on 40p Denmark 2nd with 39, Sweden 3rd with 38 and Australia 4th on 32

surprising but unwise by him. he should rest and not risking to hit his head again.

the danish rider fell just infront of the swede who's backwheel hit the dane in the head. If i understood the Danish commentators correctly they say that the rider who fell is somewhat ok.
