From what I have heard on the phone from Västervik, the riders advanced to the following quarterfinals;

 

- Jonas Davidsson, Fredrik Lindgren & Mikael Max to Motala (Sweden).

- Sebastian Aldén & Niklas Klingberg to Terenzano (Italy).

- Thomas H Jonasson to Miskolc (Hungary).

 

According to local paper Västerviks-Tidningen, Swedish team manager Mats Olsson was furious over all the withdrawals. -"Some riders were injured and couldn't participated, while Magnus Zetterström, Indianerna, couldn't even be bothered to make a phone call to make his withdrawal" says Mats Olsson.

-"This is not good for Swedish speedway, it is a huge scandal, simple as that. 26 riders had entered, but only 13 showed up. For next season, we will scrap the Grand Prix qualifier" says Mats Olsson.

Think they are seeded straight into the Motala round to be fair Iris.

Not 100% sure though. Maybe Anders knows?

[iris123]

I thought Sweden only have 6 places in the qualis.And they are the 6 from this meeting.No others from what i know.Sweden only have 3 places in Motala.Unless others have dropped out or the numbers have been changed.Wouldn't be surprised though

 

Oh and slighty off topic.Anyone know when and where the Polish quali is being held?

There's no qualifier for Poles listed in the Speedway Star's International Calendar. The Golden Helmet is at Bydgoszcz before the GP Qualifiers. Maybe that might be used to 'nominate' the Poles.

You're right, it's the Golden Helmet that 'nominates' Polish riders. Held in Bydgoszcz on Wed, 6th June.

I think you are right, Sweden have six places but no-one seeded directly to Motala. Antonio Lindbäck must feel sure of a place in the Grand Prix 2008 me thinks.

 

AFAIK, Peter Karlsson never entered the competition.

Then he better starts showing something in the GPs then.

Last result would not even give him a spot in the German League.

Fair play to you Iris, I hadn't done my home work

And I agree - strange that Anton decided not to enter.
