f-s-p Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Thats kilometers for you foreigners outside Europe... Didn't Robert P turn out to be Swedish U21 champ last year in controversial weather conditions? Looked far down the field in that order... Especially since the Danish lineup ( a VERY strong benefactor in Nordic speedway) was decided according to last season U21 final results... We are still trying to figure out our representatives....

Anders Posted May 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 As i don't know all these guys birthdays You don't!? This was also the qualifier for the Euro U19 Nordic round in Fjelsted wasn't it?So who would be the 6 riders that qualify for that? I'm pretty sure they are Simon Gustafsson, Kim Nilsson, Linus Eklöf, Ludvig Lindgren, Niklas Larsson and Jonas Messing (hence the run-off against Linus Sundström).

Looked far down the field in that order... Yes, he is the current Swedish U21 champion, but he has started the season rather slow, being outmuscled for a place in both Hammarby and Griparna by Kim Nilsson so far.

Robban is really struggling so far this season, while Kim is flying. I've been to Motala, Norrköping and Nyköping this week and Kim's looked brilliant in all three meetings.

Going on current form, Kim really should have a place in the Swedish U19 team that race the European U19 Team Final in Rawicz on May 22nd. But I wonder who of Gustafsson, Lindgren, Eklöf and Sundström that will have to step down? Sundström had a bad Elitserien meeting in the 1st round and struggled today, but he was the top scorer in the semifinal. Interesting times are ahead!

Going on recent results where Kim easily beat Sundström twice in Motala, and with the same ease today in Nyköping it really shouldn't be that hard a decision. I would think that on current form only Simon Gustafsson out of the forementioned is the equal of Kim. Eklöf or Lindgren was no match for him today. I hope the national team coach is watching..

That's nice to hear! Kim guested for the VMS Elit (now Elit Vetlanda) junior team in Eskilstuna way back in 2006, pulling off a fantastic race for a paid win against Robin Bergqvist and Linus Eklöf in the later stages of the meeting. That really "made" my trip (as I were team manager) even though we didn't win, and I have always kept an eye on his progress ever since. Isn't there a saying that elephants have a long lasting memory? I guess I have a memory like that when it comes to inspired guest performences for "my" teams throughout the years.

Ghostwalker Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Isn't very far? Are these 110 swedish km's rather than normal km's? no but everythings is relative. IMO 100km or 10 swedish mile isnt far but raher close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anders Posted June 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 The second transfer period of the Swedish season ended last Sunday, and two days ago all the transfers were made official on the official online results website, www.speedway.nu. ELITSERIEN Dackarna, struggling to find a solid complement alongside Ludvig Lindgren at reserve, released the trio of Sebastian Aldén (Team Dalakraft), Andreas Bergström (Team Dalakraft) and Kenneth Hansen (Griparna). Newcomers in the Dackarna squad are Tomas Topinka (unattached), Claus Vissing (Solkatterna) and Nicolai Klindt (Smederna). Elit Vetlanda replaced Adam Skornicki for Ales Dryml (unattached), the Czech having spent three seasons with the Vetlanda outfit before, between 2003-05 winning one gold and one silver league medal with VMS Elit. Hammarby entered Renat Gafurov in their squad, replacing Jesper B Monberg who requested a transer after a slow season so far with Hammarby. They also got Adrian Gheorge on a 2.00 average from neighbour club Eldarna. Indianerna released Edward Kennett and 15 year (?) Indianerna veteran Kaj Laukkanen, signing Jesper B Monberg from Hammarby and unattached Krzysztof Jablonski, previously released by Hammarby in the first transfer period of the season. Lejonen got Swedish U21 champion Robert Pettersson from Griparna, replacing Solkatterna bound Henrik Möller, both having 2.00 Elitserien averages. MasarnaAvesta's own partner/reserve team Team Dalakraft (in Division 1) signed Sebastian Aldén and Andreas Bergström, both will be available through the co-operation deal between MasarnaAvesta and Team Dalakraft. Smederna let Nicolai Klindt go to Dackarna and put Swedes Linus Eklöf and Kim Jansson in their partner team Team Bikab's squad, leaving three places in the Smederna squad. Those were taken by Daniel King, Marcin Jedrzejewski and Slovak youngster Martin Vaculik. Henrik Karlsson, previously in Team Bikab, was also switched to the Smederna roster. He doesn't take one of the 9 places in the Smederna squad as he only has a 2.00 average. Piraterna, Rospiggarna and Västervik didn't make any changes. ALLSVENSKAN LEAGUE Griparna released struggling Robert Pettersson for Danish junior Kenneth Hansen, previously in Dackarna. Solkatterna found themselves in some problems with Manuel Hauzinger signing for Swindon (another Thursday night track), so they let him go. Claus Vissing left the club as well, signing for Dackarna. Replacements were brought in, in Henrik Möller from Lejonen and Polish junior Adam Kajoch with no previous Swedish league experience. Valsarna have signed Adrian Gomolski (unattached/6.71) in place of Christian Henry (9.33), as reported on their website. There seems to be a slight delay in the registration according to team manager Mikael Lindh, but it should be solved soon. Vargarna and Örnarna didn't make any changes. DIVISION 1 Eldarna released Adrian Gheorge to Hammarby and seems to have added some 2.00 riders on speedway.nu, Benny Olsson seems to be among them even though I'm not sure... Filbyterna let Emil Lindqvist go to Stjärnorna, but Harald Andersson went the other way. Gnistorna signed Michael Berntsson, previously with Team Dalakraft. Stjärnorna signed home town hero Emil Lindqvist who didn't want to make excess travel to ride for Filbyterna within the same league. Harald Andersson left for Filbyterna. Team Bikab swapped some riders with "A" team Smederna, as listed above (see Smederna). Team Dalakraft signed Sebastian Aldén and Andreas Bergström from Dackarna but released Michael Berntsson to Gnistorna. Crossbone Pirates, Njudungarna, and Team CanVac didn't make any changes. Apologizes if I missed any minor deals/transfers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
