Smederna have signed Krzysztof Buczkowski and thus one place in the squad at Smederna is remaining.

I think Målilla will either be on the July date before Cardiff or early August.

Nicki Pedersen returns to Västervik where he rode before he came to Smederna in 2002. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1459969537391661&id=346440255411267

Smederna and Mikkel Michelsen have agreed an a contract for another season. https://www.facebook.com/eskilstunasmederna/photos/a.225438107549685.51284.225344277559068/1518727728220710/?type=3 It will be his 5th season with Smederna.

Kim Nilsson signs with Masarna for another season with them. http://www.masarna.nu/2017/10/19/kim-nilsson-klar-for-annu-ett-ar-i-masarna/

Jonas Davidsson and Tobiasz Musielak stays with Vetlanda.

Jonsson and Lambert have signed with Ropsiggarna. Oscar Fafjer have signed with Lejonen.

Kildemand have signed with Västervik. http://www.elitspeedway.com/nyheter/e/517/

Fredrik Lindgren have been confirmed as a signing by Smederna. http://eskilstunasmederna.se/valkommen-till-eskilstuna-fredrik-lindgren/

Actually I don't. It's only rumours so far and nothing confirmed. A company called Spring Media have bought the TV-rights to Elitserien for 2018-2022 seasons. There isn't that much more info available at thos moment. http://www.elitspeedway.com/nyheter/e/512/ Spring media is not a broadcasting company, only a sports rights holding company

Sam Masters to Hallstavik. http://www.elitspeedway.com/nyheter/e/508/

Let's go Lebedevs!

@pawel115 can you translate for us?

Milik takes the last place at Indianerna. http://www.aktuellspeedway.se/sverige/elitserien/milik-tar-sista-platsen-i-indianerna/

Who is the replacement? Michael Jepsen Jensen (if he is interested) ?

Gleb Chugunov have signed with Rospiggarna. Mikkel Bech (Jensen) stays with Västervik http://www.elitspeedway.com/nyheter/e/503/

No and he scored a 12p maximum from his 4 rides. https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/relacja/81100/speed-car-motor-lublin-stal-rzeszow

Two more signings. Gomolski stays put and continues to ride for Dackarna and another one who stays put is Bjarne Pedersen who have signed for another year. http://www.dagensvimmerby.se/sport/speedway/e/15501/klart-polacken-stannar-i-dackarna/ http://www.aktuellspeedway.se/sverige/elitserien/pedersen-stannar-i-indianerna/

Anders Mellgren have decided to quit regular speedway but will still do long track in addition to working on a regular job. http://www.aktuellspeedway.se/sverige/elitserien/mellgren-slutar-med-speedwayen/ You can read his statement here: https://www.facebook.com/Mellgrenracing/posts/1377219989053338

I'd say that whoever of Lebedevs and Milik finished highest in SEC should get one. Milik good in the few SGP:s he rode but Lebedebs were really great in SWC. As for MJJ, he have been descent in Poland but pretty poor in Sweden so I don't think he'll be a good choice, Holder haven't showed anything that makes him more deserving of a wild card then Vaculik but whoever finish 9th should get it.

Emil is 27 years old and he have at least 10-15 more years of the career remaining. How old was Gollob when he won his WCH title?

So Dudek is 14p behind Doyle, not a done deal but as long as Doyle doesn't gets injured in first heat I don't see Dudek catching up. Zagar likely secured top 8 position. 7p up on Vaculik.

Who? Didn't look good for Fricke, especially when having is neck injury in mind.

We have had guest riders for quite many years, since 2011 I think (don't remember exact year) but it worked more like you doubling up I think. A Swedish rider could sign with an Allsvenskan team and also sign with an Elitserien team as a guest riders. Each Elitserien team had two season permanent guest rider positions (riders could be changed in transfer window or because of injury). Allsvenskan team can also sign Elitserien riders as guest riders and this was mainly used for riders that have an Elitserien average of 0.500 since they don't occupy a squad slot. However, guestriders for Elitserien have been scrapped for next year and have been changed for Allsvenskan where there now is no limit on the amount of guestriders but the squad still can be max 8 riders and they guestriders still needs to be Elitserien riders.

I forgot that he was already in but the question still remains though why anyone would think that Watt is suitable reserve,
