Start list Swe U21-final. http://www.svemo.se/sv/Grenar/Speedway/Nyheter/JSM-finaliSpeedway2019/ Woentin, Hjelmland and Hellström-Bängs are the favourites but Anton Karlsson could be a contender as well.

Such a shame to see Pawlicki intentionally trying to lower his average.

Luckily there are no meetings at Eskilstuna, Sannahed, Hallstavik or Avesta because it sure is raining here.

Västervik choose to meet Indianerna. Indianerna - Västervik and Smederna - Lejonen on Tuesday. Then second leg on Thursday.

The draw for the QF:s will be made after tonight's meeting. Västervik can choose between Lejonen and Indianerna as well as whether to start home or away and Smederna will also be allowed to choose if to start home or away.

I think Västervik will pick Indianerna. Lejonen have been quite strong lately (except yesterday but Hampel did not ride). FB video of Jimmy Jansson during yesterday's last heat: Smederna vs. Piraterna highlights: https://www.elitspeedway.com/gamecenter/qWV-9yeBjjwHy/articles/post

Västervik and Smederna both at 25 p but Västervik have a slightly better point quota, about 1,07 vs 1,05.

Gutted for Woentin in heat 4. He was leading for 4 laps but Iversen past him on the finish line.

Indianerna - Masarna aborted after 10 heats. Results will count. Smederna - Piraterna still haven't started. They have been grading for two hours of which the last hour at the start area. However it was just announced that we are go for launch.

So the tractors are finally leaving the track. Hopefully we'll get some speedway now but i am not entirely convinced yet.

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.
