Stopped raining so maybe start around 19.15.-19.30.

Pouring down so this won't start until at least 20.00 if it goes ahead at all.

Well you know an official source linked is always good.

FIM just posted this on FB:

IMO Smederna - Piraterna doubtful or atleast delayed due to rain.

I think they will end like this: Ros-Lej Smed-Pir Ind-Mas Vet-Väst Ros-Pir Dack-Mas Dack-ind That would make: Lejonen +3 Smederna +2 Indianerna +3 Dackarna +6 Vetlanda +3 Piraterna +4 Final standings would then be 1. Dackarna 29 2. Vetlanda 27 3. Västervik 25 4. Lejonen 25 5. Smederna 25 6. Indianerna 21 7. Piraterna 16 8. Masarna 9 9. Rospiggarna. 3rd ,4th and 5th would be decided by points quota and I think it will be advantage Lejonen due to facing Rospiggarna. Currently Västervik have 1.1218354430379746835443037974684 -> 1.122 Smederna have 1.0485584218512898330804248861912 -> 1.049 (I think) Lejonen have: 1.0350076103500761035007610350076 -> 1.0350 So smederna have a little better at the moment.

Michelsen, Fricke and Lambert would be the three I hope will qualify.

Smederna will use R/R for Lindgren (claimed to have a knee injury).

No it's a bit east of Målilla, on the coast. Http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Stockholm&daddr=Västervik&geocode=FStLiQMdZLQTASnLC2QZMXZfRjFmd51n0ycNqA%3D%3D%3BFRNQcQMdL9z9ACnZ0XKKQUJYRjG69bt3S2nUZg%3D%3D&dirflg=d

For Målilla I agree. It is very prone to rain as it is located on the South Swedish highlands. Imo next year they should try to have one GP only in Sweden and have it in Västervik.

Doyle has an X while Zagar has a 0.

There is no way you can get 16k into G&B arena.

Just checked now and it is still 8p behind to be allowed to use a tactical sub.

So according to a newspaper article Masarna was allowed to use Berge due to Lindbäck and Bellago being injured. However Bellago is riding in Poland today in Koronę B. Chrobrego tournament in Gniezo and thus he is no longer injured which means that Masarna no longer have any justification for using a guestider. Masarna claims that they didn't know that Bellago was supposed to be in the meeting in Gniezo, only that he intended to try and ride there tonight. Link to article (might be paywalled). https://www.dt.se/artikel/kaftsmall-for-masarna-efter-protest-fran-piraterna-nye-fransmannen-far-inte-kora-dagisfasoner?fbclid=IwAR0MqwXksWac0KuPLTNvtdHw7JfWBQVbsnynUfO8DLprJYWWY-PANb4UDbU

I don't know much about this but Masarna says on their FB page that Piraterna handed in a protest today about Masarna's use of Berge which Svemo approved.The rules are a bit unclear but foreign riders in Allsvenskan are allowed to be used as temporary measure (Guest rider) for an Elitserien team heavily affected by injuries just so that they can get above the average floor. The guest rider this needs to approved by Svemo as well as the foreign riders own federation (the rider must be allowed to ride in Elitserien). Berge is listed as a guest rider for Masarna so somehow Svemo must have approved it and now suddenly disapproves.

Chugnov has signed a new 2 year contract with Smederna.

Mjj+Lebedevs vs Laguta and Kurtz.

Attendance about 1900 (Smederna claims 2900).

H14 Miedzinki+Lindgren vs Zmarz + Woz

I don't remember if they changed it back to 6p but it has been 8p for a couple of seasons now. I think Lebedevs and Jensen in heat 15 vs Zmarz +Laguta. Lindgren + Pawlicki heat 14 vs Kurtz and Wozniaki.

Brady Kurtz wasn't too impressed with Miedzinki's move in heat 11.

Lindgrens doesn't seem to even bother. Aspgren, Lebedevs and Jensen looking good though so far.

Vetlanda is clear favourites judging by Smederna's latest meetings. All good to go, first heat t-minus two minutes and counting.

I don't think it will be much of an issue, mostly wet on the surface me thinks.

Well lots of rain all around here but so far only one small shower over the track and probably not much more to be expected. Put Gröndal, Eskilstuna in the search box and see for yourself. https://www.smhi.se/vadret/nederbord-molnighet/radar-blixt#colorblind=false,layerselected=5min
