Smederna will live stream a youth meeting on their Facebook page at 11. 00 Swedish time today.

Stockholm is a very nice city but the GP was held too late in the season. The summer is long gone in October and so is the summer temperatures. The ticket prices were too high and the racing was decent but not great. Not really the best way to attract a good attendance. Hallstavik track is an ok track, quite short though (289m) and the arena itself is relatively small. Like Målilla it is also situated in the middle of nowhere about 100 km north of Stockholm (about 90 minutes drive). It might not sound much but the roads are quite narrow. Hallstavik is a small town that don't have much to offer. I would recommend staying in Uppsala or Stockholm and renting a car.

Tactical substitutes, BZ and Laguta got two extra heats each which only get vetlanda 7-5 in total but prevented Smederna from finishing of Vetlanda.

Weird, I thought I already replied to this post but it will be in the next round (after WCH Pairs break). Lejonen rode well but Masarna seems to be a quite weak team. I still think Lejonen and Masarna will be on the last two positions in the standings, possibly Lejonen can a top 6 finish.

Lebedevs hadn't ridden 12 heats which is required for the floating average to become official. Until 12 heat is done, the season entry average will count as a floating average and Lebedevs' season entry average is higher then NKI's floating average. I forgot that Lebedevs only had done 11 heats.

Disappointed with a tied result but tactical substitutes saved Vetlanda.

R/R is averaged based. For Smederna NKI was 4th in the floating average list since Lebedevs only had done 11 heats. In this caste it means that Lindgren and MJJ cannot do one of NKI's heat. Only the rider at one step up in the list + the riders with lower averages can do R/R heats. It is the same for Västervik/Zagar.

A very nice win by Indianerna at home against Dackarna. 46-44

Kumla is normally one of the racing tracks in Sweden BUT there haven't been a single drop of rain for like 3-4 weeks and it is almost 30 degrees hot today with very little or no clouds. It is therefore possible that Indianerna have been unable to water the track sufficiently since I think that the water will almost vaporize before it hit's the ground.

Yep, that is correct. Peter PK Karlsson is the new team manager for Dackarna.

Yeah Masarna were pretty weak, weaker then I expected IMO although Smederna is a strong team.

Who? Iversen? He is to undergo a surgery and is expected to be back the week after the Speedway of nations break.

Preliminary line-ups for Tuesday's round 4. Meetings starts at 19.00 CEST (BST +1).

Peter Ljung Bartosz Smektala Daniel Henderson I still think Västervik have cheated by falsely claiming that Nicki was expected to be absent for at least 4 weeks when everyone can see that he is still riding and also doing quite allright. Weather is stuck on hight pressure mode with warm/hot weather and little to none cloudiness. Live results as always at http://www.svemo.se/sv/Grenar/Speedway/ http://www.elitspeedway.com/liveresultat/ https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/live/zuzel/elitserien Elitserien can also be followed at https://sverigesradio.se/sida/gruppsida.aspx?programid=179&grupp=7514 (web radio) Heat schedule : http://www.svemo.se/ImageVaultFiles/id_14025/cf_44/K-rschema_2-15.PDF

I think Kildemand is resting because of the concussion he suffered in this week's Elitserien meeting.

Fast Freddie!!!!!

Great ride by Freddie.

Highlights from Smederna - Masarna. (preview looks weird but the video works fine).

Either Premiersports or Speedway play, both are pay per view.

Smederna is the only team with 3 wins so far. Really Strong victory where Masarna looked like they could fight back. Smederna were too strong though in the end (as in the previous two meetings) and could finish them off in heat 13. Lindgren's and Iversen's double strike in heat 13 was really delicious. Masarna were 5-1 out of the tapes but the Smederna duo went for the inside going out of bend 2 on lap 1 which saw them pass both Masarna's riders. It was also nice seeing Woentin getting better and better for each meeting. He was really good tonight, even challenging Lindbäck in one heat. Lebedevs is still struggling. He seems to have the speed to some extent but the gating isn't there. Overall a good performance from Smederna tonight. Masarna only have one good rider and that is Tai, I think he opted for the first nomination heat to be able to get a maximum but he made a mistake (was under pressure) which saw him knock Kim Nilsson into the airfence. So far Smederna, Dackarna and Rospiggarna look really strong but it's still very early.

Smederna's attendance tonight is 6011 people.

Fast Freddie, from last to first in 2 laps.

Everyone run for your lives Ivan is coming.

Masarna off gate 1/3 in heat 1. Meeting start might be slightly delayed. Lots of people queuing to get in.

Yes as far as I know. Weather update at 16.25 CEST, warm (hot) and partially sunny/cloudy.

Use R/R. One cannot declare a rider "Long term injured" and replace the rider if the rider rides 2-3 meetings in a week during his "injury".
