No it doesnt work that way. A Team can pull out yes but if they want to continue the season after they will have to restart in the division 1 league. Then they will need to win the Div1 in the 1st season then the next season they will have to win the Allsvenskan play-offs to regain their place in Elitserien. The strength is sligthly better then regular Allsvenskan teams. They are a bit too good for allsvenskan but not good enough for Elitserien.

well they surely have some difficult time ahead of them. Poor results on track and poor results off track. The new stadium will if ever most likely not be ready until 2009 according to Tommy Rander due to appeals and that kind of stuff.

Well i think it is between "the same old guys" Nicki, Hans, Crump, Adams, Greg and Maybe Harris and Jagus. Jagus have done some practising during this week and hopefully he will back to his good season opening shape. My support goes to Jagus, Nicki, Antonio and Adams. Especially Jagus.

i think this with taking away bottled drinks is wrong. I mean they only do it because they want to sell more inside to a much higher price. I can understand if they take away alcohol but not non-alcoholic drinks.

i've added links to pictures from the meeting between Rospiggarna - Dackarna, from the meeting between Indianerna - Piraterna and from the meeting between Kaparna - Hammarby.

Sure i think the polish team is just as strong and the Swedish and Aussie team is only slightly weaker.

How about Troy Batchelor is he still Injured or is he not considered to be good enough? It will be tough for the Aussies but Adams, Sullivan and Schlein has been riding very well lately but its the no5 spot that is the weakness of this team.

Jagus is ok now. He will make comeback at Cardiff. If it had been necessary he could have been riding today but the decision was made that it would be better if he rested a few more days since we didnt except to win todays meeting anyway.

IMO its really a shame that they went with taking out Holta when Poland has such many other good riders like Jagus, Zabik, Kolodziej, Ulamek although the latter has been showing up a poor form. If I were the Swedish coach i would nominate this team: 1. A Jonsson 2. F. Lindgren 3. J. Davidsson 4. A.Lindbäck 5. T. H. Jonasson it wouldn't be a team for winning but a team for the future. I think that PK is a good rider but i think its time for him to step down and gice room for someone younger.

Todays Meetings in Swedish Elitserien. Round 9 of 18: Today's Meetings Meeting delayed to approx. 19.30. the reason for this appears to be that there are some problem with the fence. --------------- Rospiggarna - Dackarna pictures from the meeting: http://www.speedwayfoto.com/SpeedwayFoto20...0626/index.html ------------- Elit Vetlanda - Smederna This meeting is cancelled because of Rain The new date for this meeting is Thursday July 12th. at 19.00 CET. ------------- Kaparna - Hammarby This Meeting takes place on Smedernas hometrack Smedstadion (Swedish GP Track). pictures from this meeting: http://www.motorz.se/foto/07/070626_kaparna-bajen/ ---------------- MasarnaAvesta - Västervik --------------- Indianerna - Piraterna pictures from the meeting: http://www.oveandersson.se/indianernapiraterna070626/ ----------------- All Meetings to start at 19.00 CET

didn't he turn down his spot in the qualifiers?

yeah i think those very well could be the ones claiming the 3 available places and i hope they do. If they however dont manage to qualify i wouldnt be surprised if they got a WC instead. Especially KK and Schlein.

actually the meeting is on Saturday. But its a good question, at the moment its expected to be cloudy with showers atleast the rest of the week. with improving weather at the beginning of the next week. You can keep an eye on the weather at this website: http://www.smhi.se/cmp/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=103&l=en

not many. I think it is 3 places. Top 8 in SGP is direct Qualified, another 4 gets season WC and the final 3 riders is qualified via gp qualifications.

Im not especially surprised. Rory has been showing a really good form over here in Sweden.

hey cool. I think this is what the sport needs. some intrest from countries that "nver heard" of the sport.

Im not 100% sure who al those are but i know Jagus is seeded and "Pepe" is seeded. I could be the four riders who rode last years final?

no i think q4 definitely is looking stronger then the other three Quarters. In Q4 you will find riders like Jonas Davidsson, Fredrik Lindgren, Jesper B Jensen, Kenneth Bjerre, Pawl Hlib, Mikael Max and Damian Balinski. Allthough the other Qs have good rider as well like Schlein, Ulamek and Pepe in Q3 or Kris Kasprzak, 2x Dryml and Hampel in Q2 i still think Q4 is the hardest with Q3 as the second hardest and Q2 as the third Hardest and Q1 as the easiest

The krasch between kaspar and Lukas Dryml in heat 5 have resulted in that Kasprzaks mechanic "warned" Lukas that something bad was going to happen the next time he was in Poland. http://tv4nyheterna.se/1.127526/sport/2007...kas_dryml_hotad

Kaparnas Match was held at the track in Hagfors i think the name of the track is "Tallhult". Also Kris Kasprzak is Injured again. He was striked by Lukas Dryml and Despite that KK rode tyhe restart and won it he didnt ride anymore tonight. The firsdt reports is a broken rib and it looked as he felt some pain at the lower part of his back. He might be out for a short while.
