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

Winner of Dackarna -Smederna will win the league. If Rospiggarna wins big and Smederna looses then Rospiggarna will claim second.

Tomasz was honoured with a minute of silence before the start of all 4 meetings in Elitserien tonight.

Smederna - Indianerna https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/relacja/85444/eskilstuna-smederna-kumla-indianerna A really crazy meeting. Smederna had allot of misfortune and struggle in the first half and were 8p down. Like always they fight they back but on three occasions in the last 4 heats I thought we were loosing. 1. After heat 12 were MJJ and MickMich looses with 1-5 and it's only three heats to go. 2. heat 14 when NKI does a TT but Michelsen won over Woffy and Milik in the re-run. The first bend was crazy 3 out of 4 riders where on their back wheels going out of bend 1 lap 1 but somehow they managed to avoid crashing. 3. In heat 15 when it looked liked Freddy had moved down Thomsen but where Thomsen eventually was excluded. Lejonen - Dackarna: https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/relacja/85443/lejonen-gislaved-dackarna-malilla Vetlanda- Rospiggarna. https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/771508/elitserien-kontrolowane-zwyciestwo-vetlandy-swietny-mecz-zmarzlika-i-madsena

Smederna wins the last heat with 5-0 since Pepe was excluded in the first try due to getting his second warning.

Extremely idiot move by Lindgren who dives ahead of Thomsen who crashes heavily trying to avoid Lindgren but can walk back to the pits on his own . Thomsen is excluded.

Smederna's attendance tonight is an impressive 4219 despite poor weather.

Raining in Västervik.

Utterly pathetic by Smederna so far. Michelsen have R R 1 so far, Aspgren is R R, Iversen 1+1... front wheel lifts in 5-1 position which turns into 2-4.... This is the 3rd straight meet were we are struggling and struck by bad luck. Things are looking better now, we are back at equal after 10 heats. Lindgren had a really beauty of a pass on Milik in heat 10.

I'm leaving for the track in a few minutes, hold your thumbs for no more rain.

Official cause of death was a blood clot in his leg. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/speedway/verdict-diamonds-ace-matej-ferjans-1400766

@racers and royals started a thread about two hours ago:

Weather update. A rain system is moving up over the country and the three meetings in Småland will probably go ahead as planned. The meeting at Eskilstuna is a bit uncertain though since the rain system just have reached us here.
