Wohoo Second win for Smederna! ,,,and both Piraterna and Dackarna lost again. IMO Masarna and Vetlanda will meet in the final. And sorry Dave but I don't think you others should stay up waiting for the late broadcast of this week's meeting. From what I've read the meeting was as awful as they usually are at Vetlanda. I don't think next weeks will be any better either unfortunately.

Time for round 6 which is the penultimate round of the first half of the season and here are the preliminary line-ups. Elit Vetlanda - Dackarna This will be televised. Elit Vetlanda 1. Martin Vaculik 2. Szymon Wozniak 3. Jaroslaw Hampel 4. Oliver Berntzon 5. Bartosz Zmarzlik 6. Tomas H Jonasson 7. Jonas Davidsson Dackarna 1. Fredrik Lindgren 2. Anders Thomsen 3. Patryk Dudek 4. Kacper Gomolski 5. Maciej Janowski 6. Joel Kling 7. Peter Ljung Indianerna - Eskilstuna Smederna Indianerna 1. Adrian Miedzinski 2. Bjarne Pedersen 3. Piotr Protasiewicz 4. Kenneth Bjerre 5. Vaclav Milik 6. Victor Palovaara 7. Ludvig Lindgren Eskilstuna Smederna 1. Michael Jepsen Jensen 2. Pawel Przedpelski 3. Matej Zagar 4. Pontus Aspgren 5. Grigorij Laguta 6. Mikkel Michelsen 7. Linus Eklöf Rospiggarna - Lejonen Rospiggarna 1. Jason Doyle 2. Andreas Jonsson - R/R 3. Jacob Thorssell 4. Timo Lahti 5. Max Fricke 6. Nike Lunna 7. Nicklas Porsing Lejonen 1. Piotr Pawlicki 2.

Przemyslaw Pawlicki 4. Joel Andersson 5. Antonio Lindbäck 6. Kim Nilsson 7. Artur Czaja Piraterna 1. Emil Sayfutdinov 2. Daniel Davidsson 3. Greg Hancock (K) 4. Peter Kildemand 5. Niels-Kristian Iversen 6. Daniel Henderson 7. Damian Balinski Miroslaw Jablonski Results wise it will and should be all home wins tomorrow. As for the tv-meeting well it will likely be as rubbish as all other meetings in Vetlanda. It's one of the, if not the worst track in Sweden. It almost always produce a gate and go type of speedway. It has way too much loose gravel on top and needs more clay to make the shale bind together better. However it's more likely that Smederna will be Swedish champions this season then that Vetlanda will do something about their track. Live broadcasted by Cmore, Premiersports and probably some Polish tv-channel.

Actually not, Pawel rode for Torun yesterday.

I didn't see every heat but from what I saw it looked mainly a gating competition.

I think it is wrong if that is the case. There are too much wild cards and etc already.

Miedzinski almost fenced Wozniaki.

Andreas Jonsson have broken his collarbone apparently but round 1 is three weeks away and I think he probably will be back by then.

A Danish article about Nicki http://ekstrabladet.dk/sport/anden_sport/motorsport/speedway/skadet-nicki-melder-afbud-til-gp-jeg-er-ked-af-det/6699761

Grisha will likely get the wild card for the GP challenge final if he misses out on top 8.

Heat 14 from Smederna - Masarna https://www.facebook.com/eskilstunasmederna/videos/1395233323903485/ Heat 15 was pretty identical.

The flexibility of having a choice? Last week they could have used R/R as well but chose not to. This week they choose R/R. It is also useful when their isn't sufficient time to bring in a replacement, i.e. if a rider crashes in England on Monday evening there is very short with time to get hold of another rider within the needed time frame for him (and his team) to make it to the meeting in time. Squad is useful if all riders are available or if you know that a certain rider will be unavailable.

Suspected broken arm for Balinski.

Yes R/R for Lindgren.

I got the lineups from http://www.elitspeedway.com/ which usually is accurate.

Yes when the GPC was at Gorican.

Yeah it doesn't work for me either.

Nope, nice weather today, Sunny with some clouds.

Yes I know he is but he is still listed in the lineup though, possibly they decided to do R/R for him but that is unconfirmed.

Well he needs to since the Polish IRS is chasing him. According to an article in Speedway, written by their Polish correspondent Angelika Nowak, Holta supposedly have tried to hide income and his club Czestochowa have been accused of helping Holta with that.

Yeah, Pawel is sponsored by Monster.

An interview with Nicki in Ekstrabladet. http://ekstrabladet.dk/sport/anden_sport/motorsport/speedway/venter-paa-laegernes-dom-nicki-frygter-karrieren-er-forbi/6693127 He says that he fears that his career might be over but that he hopes that it is not. He says that he is concerned that this might be it since speedway is his entire life and he also wants to earn a small (more likely a large I'd say ) and steady Shilling. If I had to stop now, the what? asks the 40 years old speedway rider. He will know next week when doctors from Universitets-, og privathospitalet Hamlet have determined if they are new fractures in the neck and how serious they are. He is also says that he is concerned that he have to go 12 weeks with a neck brace since he did that last year and it was unbearable. The second half is about SWC and why Hans Nielsen didn't pick Nicki and etc. Nicki says that he will be ready next month but Hans says that he didn't pick Nicki due to the uncertain physical status of Nicki and due to Nicki's poor results in the SGP. Hans also that they (HN and DK?) hopes that Nicki can participate but that since Nicki don't know when he will be fit, it wouldn't be fair for Nicki to take a place from a younger "forces". http://ekstrabladet.dk/sport/anden_sport/motorsport/speedway/venter-paa-laegernes-dom-nicki-frygter-karrieren-er-forbi/6693127
