Jacob Thorssell crashed in today's Swedish final and is suspected to have suffered a fractured shoulder. https://m.dagensvimmerby.se/sport/speedway/e/98562/extra-dacke-stjarnan-kraschade-i-sm-borta-en-manad/

For Målilla the winner of the Swedish final tomorrow will be given the wild card.

Johannes Stark (track reserve) has pulled out of tomorrow's SM final. Joel Kling will take Johannes' place as second track reserve.

Actually now that I look it up. Rospigg is a modern spelling of " rosbyggiar" which is someone (byggare? (settler)) living in Rosen (old name for Roslagen). However I have a weak memory of seeing a wasp related to Rospiggarna.

To simply things, almost every name has a local connection one way or another, either geographical names or professions with local connection.

Njudung is another local geographical name. It's the name of one of the small medieval provinces which together was designated små land (Småland) and one of this provinces was Njudung,. https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Njudung https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folkland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Småland#History Skeppare is a commander of a smaller ship, but in this case people working on the shipyard that once existed in Västervik.

Dackarna is most certainly not ducks. Dackarna is named after south Swedish rebel Nils Dacke and Dackarna was his followers. Mas|ar(na) is a nickname for people living in the province named Dalarna. Vetlanda and Västervik do have other names as well. Vetlanda is/was also known as Njudungarna and Västervik is also known as Skepparna.

Rospigg is someone living in the the geographical region called Roslagen. A pigg is an old word for wasp (wasp's sting).

Clearly Thursdays are not that good to schedule meetings on due to rider commitments in Poland on Fridays making these riders unavailable They don't have much choice this season due to shortened season but for future seasons perhaps trying to go back to Tuesdays would be a better idea.

Also note that the U21/youth finals are on a later date.

I think Chugunov has dual citizenship/licenses but uses Russian nationality/license in Sweden at least.

Highlights https://www.svt.se/sport/speedway/smederna-fick-kampa-i-toppmotet-med-lejonen

Pontus Aspgren - Rohan Tungate 3-0.

Anton is generation 4 in the Jansson speedway family; Joel->Bo->Jimmy->Anton. Manfred is not related to Magnus in any way. Magnus' son Kevin is a football goalie in division 1. Anton and Manfred are dominating the Swedish Youth series this year. 500 cc is totally different thing but for sure they are talented. IIRC the plan for Anton was to combine 85 cc with 250 cc this season but I don't think he has been doing any 250 cc racing so far this season.

USM draw. https://www.svemo.se/Nyheter/Speedway/UngdomsSM-finalSpeedway2021

The Allsvenskan meeting between Griparna and Team Rapid has been can due to rain. This means that Johannes Stark will ride for Smederna instead.

Some interesting results tonight. Masarna defeats Rospiggarna and Piraterna manages a draw at home against Västervik.
