Name any other sport with a standing start where the athletes/drivers/Riders are allowed to anticipate the start? F1? No. WRC? No. Swimming? No Athletics? No MotoGP? No A standing start is about standing still and react to a start signal. It is not about chancing / anticipating the start. Transponders would solve this problem. You do allot of start testing and decide which reaction time should be the limit. This can the be monitored during the start and it would be easy to see if it is a good start or a chance start.

Conny Ohlsson has been named the new team manager and sports manager for Rospiggarna. http://se.aktuellspeedway.eu/2018/08/27/rospiggarnas-nya-lagledare-klar/

I think 4 or 5 years and the new thread will be up later I think.

Statistics for this year's Elitserien :http://se.aktuellspeedway.eu/2018/08/22/elitserien-statistiksammanfattning-av-grundserien-2018/ Attendance statistics: http://se.aktuellspeedway.eu/publik/elitserien/2018/ This year's attendance average is 2994.5 compared to last year's 2882. Smederna have the highest average 4841 and also the individual highest attendance figure with 6011 against Masarna.

Yeah I totally agree with you but it won't happen now that the clubs have too much power.

Next week Indianerna - Smederna and I would assume Västervik - Vetlanda. I think Indianerna and Vetlanda will go through with Dackarna-Vetlanda in the final.

Rospiggarna gains 37 points on Smederna and should take second place.

It's not really surprising but Lindgren intends on trying to ride on Friday and Saturday. https://www.svt.se/sport/speedway/trots-kraschen-lindgren-tanker-aka-vm-deltavling

Top 4 will only change internally and Vetlanda will likely not reach top 2. Indianerna will be 5th or 6th. Västervik likely finishes 5th or 6th too.

Round 14 Preliminary line-ups: All meetings are planned to start at 19.00 Swedish time. Dackarna (47) - Smederna (49) Dackarna Greg Hancock Pawel Przedpelski Oliver Berntzon Patryk Dudek Maciej Janowski Hans Andersen Joel Kling Eskilstuna Smederna Fredrik Lindgren Andzejs Lebedevs Mikkel Michelsen Michael Jepsen Jensen Krzysztof Buczkowski Niels Kristian Iversen Linus Eklöf Pontus Aspgren Masarna (37) - Vetlanda (53) Masarna Antonio Lindbäck Joel Andersson Kim Nilsson Artur Czaja Linus Sundström (K) Jepser Persson Emil Millberg Vetlanda Artem Laguta Szymon Wozniak Brady Kurtz Tomas H Jonasson Bartosz Zmarzlik Ricky Kling Magnus Karlsson Rospiggarna (51) - Lejonen (39) Rospiggarna Jason Doyle Max Fricke Robert Lambert Jacob Thorssell Andreas Jonsson Samuel Masters Tero Aarnio Lejonen Timo Lahti Rohan Tungate Piotr Pawlicki Kacper Woryna Maksym Drabik Kenny Wennerstam Mathias Thörnblom Kumla Indianerna (42) - Västervik (48) Kumla Indianerna Tai Woffinden Vaclav Milik Piotr Protasiewicz Kenneth Bjerre Anders Thomsen Christoffer Selvin Jonatan Grahn Västervik Martin Vaculik Peter Kildemand Nicki Pedersen Bartosz Smektala Peter Ljung Anton Karlsson Mikkel Bech Battle for second: 2. Smederna have 634 - 535 = 1.185046728971963 (won points divided by lost points) 3. Rospiggarna have 620 - 548 = 1.131386861313869 4. Vetlanda have 606 - 562 = 1.078291814946619 Dackarna needs one point to win the league. Smederna needs 3p to win the league and 1p to secure second. I think Smederna without Lindgren will have a hard time getting the 1p needed and I think Rospiggarna will win big at home against Lejonen which means that I think Rospiggarna will take second.

The same as Göteborg/Ullevi being suggested as an arena in a dream season. No offence to you who suggested it but it's awful arena (for speedway) since it way too big and the track has always been a mess. Then we have the very small factor that it rains more often in Göteborg then it does at Målilla.

IMO it's not a "today thing" but more of a season general thing.

Smederna now have started the auction of the riders vests used at the Swedish championship. 50% of the money goes to Barncancerfonden. https://www.tradera.com/profile/items/4723072/smedernaspeedway https://www.facebook.com/eskilstunasmederna/posts/1852728498153963

Smederna - Indianerna heat 10.

Everything is available online at WADA website and FIM rule book. Medications usually have warning markers if they affect your driving and etc. Medicine are also supposed to have markers but some athletes have tried to use it as an excuse to why they tested positive.

That was kinda expected given that he has had two crashes recently where he have hit his head. One needs to be very careful with concussion and concussion like symptoms.

Highest placed team chooses opponent and whether to start at home or away.

Diamond Cup was supposed to have been run on this Friday but it has been moved due to TJ's death. http://speedwaydiamondcup.pl/2018/08/15/zawody-w-lamothe-landerron-przeniesione/ http://se.aktuellspeedway.eu/2018/08/15/premiaren-av-diamond-cup-flyttas-fram/

Smederna - Indianerna Heat 14.

Yep that's correct. 1p is all Smederna needs.

Västervik-Masarna will be held on Monday (20 August).

Dackarna wins the league if they manage 45-45 or better against Smederna. If Smederna win the meeting they win the league. Smederna likely need at least 1p in Målilla next week to finish top 2. Rospiggarna have Lejonen at home and I think that Rospiggarna will massacre Lejonen. Therefore Rospiggarna's point quota will improve significantly and they are not that far behind Smederna in that matter. Vetlanda are probably too far behind. 2. Smederna have 634 - 535 = 1.185046728971963 (won points divided by lost points) 3. Rospiggarna have 620 - 548 = 1.131386861313869 4. Vetlanda have 606 - 562 = 1.078291814946619

It wasn't disappointing if you know what to expect from Gislaved and Hampel only scoring 4p was also expected. He is extremely aquaphobic. A few heats from Smedena-Indianerna. Having seen the replay, Lindgren's move wasn't as bad as it looked from my point of view in the stand. He goes under Thomsen and Thomsen bailed on his own.

Meetings are not televised, only available on streaming service. All clubs except one have over 2000 on average. My team Smederna almost have 5000 on average. It was 4200 yesterday but the rain probably scared away 1000-15000 or so. http://se.aktuellspeedway.eu/publik/elitserien/2018/ https://ta.svemo.se/Public/Pages/Serie/Audience/AudienceStatistics.aspx?SerieId=1142
