Swedish Elitserien Round 6

PREVIEW OF ELITSERIEN ROUND 6

Tuesday June 2nd 2009

 

Elit Vetlanda will not ride this week, but the other meetings are:

 

DACKARNA - LEJONEN

at G&B Arena, Målilla

 

Dackarna are missing the services of Grzegorz Zengota who crashed in practise before last week's meeting, but with Rory Schlein back in the line-up, Dackarna are fielding one of the "standard" line-ups.

 

Lejonen have bigger problems though, with Chris Holder and Nicki Pedersen being out with injury and Leigh Adams obviously unavailable for this one (why?). Assuming Riders Replacement will be used for Nicki (as he has been nominated as No 2, it looks likely), the Lions have replaced Holder, Adams, Suchecki and Pedersen with Watt, Ulamek, Swiderski and R/R from last week.

IKAROS SMEDERNA - ROSPIGGARNA

at Smedstadion, Eskilstuna

 

The thought by team manager Bosse Jansson was that Martin Vaculik should replace Krzysztof Buczkowski from the 52-44 winning team against Indianerna last week, but an injury sustained in Poland on Sunday forced the Slovak to withdraw, and being replaced by Krzysztof Buczkowski who rode in the team last week.

 

Rospiggarna have left Charlie Gjedde out of the team after his performence at Elit Vetlanda two weeks ago. Chris Slabon gets another shot at second string, but must produce now, otherwise Sebastian Ulamek will be waiting in the wings. Ulamek will move from Lejonen to Rospiggarna when the second transfer period closes, and will be available for Rospiggarna for the league round on June 16th.

VARGARNA - VÄSTERVIK

at Norrköping's Motorstadion

 

The Wolves lost heavily in Motala last week, going down 64-31 against Piraterna, but they will always have the possibility to score well at home, today is no exception. Edward Kennett and Tai Woffinden have been replaced by Joe Screen and Niklas Klingberg, the latter slotting in at reserve.

 

Västervik comes from a moral boosting draw at Dackarna, but still have opted for some changes. Anton Rosén is back from his injury sustained in the Nordic U21 Final in Elgane, and he will team up with former Vargarna rider Kevin Doolan at reserve. AFAIK, Doolan should've ridden last week, but couldn't make the arrangements to get there, and was then replaced by Pontus Aspgren (5 paid 6), who returns to his standard place as the No 8 junior.

 

Vargarna (home)

1. Scott Nicholls

2. Adam Skornicki

4. Joe Screen

INDIANERNA - PIRATERNA

at Sannahed's Motorstadion

 

(TV-broadcasting by Canal+)

 

Canal+ have made a good choice for their TV-meeting this week, being in place for this local derby. The two teams invested hard during the off season to make them challengers for the Elitserien gold, but both - and especially Indianerna - have had their up-and-downs so far.

 

The Indians gives Matej Ferjan another chance at home (where he can be fantastic) while Jesper B Monberg drops to reserve to replace Renat Gafurov. Niklas Eriksson replaces Alexander Edberg at reserve, but that won't make much of a change as David Rohlén most likely will take his heats, as he have taken Edberg's heat in previous meetings.

 

For Piraterna, Daniel Nermark drops to reserve while Rafal Okoniewski is going the other way. They are once again missing Emil Sajfutdinov, but the Pirates should come to this one with some confidence anyway. They beat Vargarna by a massive 64-31 score last week, have been doing better overall than Indianerna and also won a pre-season challenge at this track back in April.

 

This could be a cracker!

 

Indianerna

1. Grzegorz Walasek

2. Joonas Kylmäkorpi

3. Piotr Protasiewicz

4. Matej Ferjan

5. Rune Holta

6. Jesper B Monberg

7. Niklas Eriksson

( 8. David Rohlén )

 

Piraterna

1. Jonas Davidsson

2. Damian Balinski

3. Rafal Dobrucki

4. Rafal Okoniewski

5. Antonio Lindbäck

6. Linus Sundström

7. Daniel Nermark

( 8. Tomas Bäck )

All meetings can be followed live on www.speedway.nu (official) or www.elitspeedway.nu (unofficial).

 

Personally, I haven't decided if I should to go to Målilla (only 50 km away, but bad weather expected), find someplace where I can watch the Canal+ meeting, or stay at home and follow the live updates. Time will tell.

 

 

[Ghostwalker]

about Ikaros Smedernas team im starting to wonder why last years positive surprise Robert Miskowiak never gets the chance. he rode very well at Smedstadion

last season and i think he would do better then Buczkowski who has been far from impressive.

Yes, I remember the last regular season meeting of the 2007 season, and Miskowiak rode very well in that Smederna vs Elit Vetlanda meeting. He also have some decent form for his Polish team Ostrow this season, though perhaps not sensational, at least looking as his scores.

Following the meetings on Speedway.nu. What has happened at the Vargana-Vastervik meeting.

The updates screen has gone to be replaced with the following text:

 

Matchdata saknas för Vargarna - Västervik.

Möjlig anledning kan vara att matchen ej har spelats utan är en walkovermatch.

 

Can anyone tell me whats happened?

And Im following Dackarna and if it is the break it appears to be a very long one.

 

Im therefore getting worried as Rory is in the heat yet to be posted - its horrid just waiting!

[ladyluck]

Rained off.

[Sandie]

Thanks

[Ghostwalker]

It's confirmed. Result stands.

 

 

nope your way wrong in Sweden the rules say a meeting is only valid if half+1 heat is completed which means

that a meeting must have completed heat 9 until the results become valid.

 

Anyway from the meeting between Ikaros Smederna and Indianerna there arent much of intrest report. It was a very boring meeting from start to finish.

The track was very awful, very slick and dry with little passing. But i guess Smederna didnt have much choice after last weeks delay and with the current weather.

 

The only notable happening was that Mikael Max seems to be in better form then in man many years.

11p tonight including a heat win over Greg Hancock where max found a very fast line along the fence and siply blasted past Greg and Henka Gustafsson. :D

 

Max also set a new track record but there might have something wrong with the timing so i am not sure that the new record of 57,2 seconds

which is 1,1 seconds faster then Nickis track record of 58,3 is correct.
