krzyzstof kasprzak signed with Lejonen.

I don't know but he signed with Västervik so I assume that he will.

Maybe, maybe not. I just don't think the clubs/riders are in that much of a rush since the deadline is still 3,5 months away. They have more time to secure sponsorship and etc so I think it's a bit early yet to draw any conclusions. I think some teams might be a bit cautious due to Covid-19/more restricted budget due to the 2020-season but we also don't really know where things regarding the ban from the Ekstraliga clubs will develop.

No too impressed with Kaczmarek signing, gives me the impression of a Polish filler who's place better could be spent on a younger Swedish rider.

Magnus "Zorro" Zetterström has also joined the car salesman career. https://www.facebook.com/151054941442/posts/10158373775826443/

Former speedway rider Bert Lindarw has passed away today according to Stephen Zetterwall and Smederna. I don't known well know Bert is/was in Britain but he was one of the old legends in Smederna. It's only two months ago since Bert's fellow Smederna rider and legend Bernt Persson passed away. https://www.facebook.com/stephen.zetterwall/posts/3766474836709997 https://www.facebook.com/eskilstunasmederna/posts/3463557400404390?__cft__[0]=AZVG36g4LHm8UQykAdGO9hzF0IeXnHQ5Ph_LRNmiszGspKr7zhutHwhcyrakau57GZtuDB1tf3Ea9usyRCIr8ZlfPPbY3QPvF2Rm4sfe653yEv_AepqhWw5EoeSX2z2lQv_G6PmgDuIviq6sDMLilNGbpX3ufJlvpJRNp-i4i4XtofILaQOEBb4AcLQj7qWJMeo&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R

Svt made a short documentary about Antonio but unfortunately it's only available in Sweden. I'll post it anyway though: https://www.svtplay.se/video/29055502/rio-rocket-en-osannolik-speedwayresa "Speedwaysnack- hemma hos" video blog series also have three episodes with Antonio: Part 1: https://youtu.be/TJjk6PXagew Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6iDUsQ8DUo Part 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Efifra2QDwA

Antonio says to SVT sport that he has decided to retire. https://www.svt.se/sport/speedway/svt-avslojar-antonio-lindback-avslutar-karriaren

No he is correct, it just wasn't clear when I wrote the post above. The information above is from Svemo but ESS have also posted some info, will add it later.

Lambert stays with Lejonen.

I would assume that they are planning for different scenarios, of which a full season would be one of the scenarios together with different shortened season/delayed start scenarios.

Anton Jansson continues to shine. Today he won Gunnar Lundberg cup at Veddestavallen in Stockholm. Both Anton and teammate Manfred had scored 14p after 20 heats and Anton then won the run-off against Manfred. https://ta.svemo.se/Public/Pages/Competition/IndividualDrivingSchedule/CompetitionLiveResult.aspx?Branch=Speedway&Columns=CompetitionInfo,Branch,Name,Arena,FromDateShort&Datefilter=Today&pagesize=6&CompetitionId=11825&ShowAll=true

As I said before, they now have the possibility to sell subscription directly to viewers (Eurosport player/discovery play), BSI never had that possibility. They are basically cutting off one middle man (broadcasting companies like Viasat) so it will be FIM event->Eurosport-> viewers and not FIM event->BSI/IMG->Middle man->viewers.

Oliver Berntzon, Pontus Aspgren och Linus Sundström have pulled out, replaced by Jonatan Grahn, Gustav Grahn och Maksymilian Bogdanowicz.

IIRC is a nephew to the Laguta brothers. Just like Gleb Chugunov.
