Swedish Elitserien Round 11

PREVIEW OF SWEDISH ELITSERIEN ROUND 11

Tuesday July 7th 2009

 

ROSPIGGARNA - VARGARNA

at Orionparken, Hallstavik

 

The home side is missing the services of the injured Sebastian Ulamek. Travis McGowan takes his place in the main body of the team while Maciej Janowski gets a chance at reserve, his sixth meeting in the league so far, but this will actually be his home debut.

 

Vargarna comes from one away meeting to another, a fairly close one against Ikaros Smederna in which they only lost by a 50-46 score. However, Joe Screen didn't deliver last week and has been replaced by fellow Brit Edward Kennett.

 

After last week's home trashing, it's hard to figure the quality of the Rospiggarna team. With ex-Rospiggarna riders such as Adam Shields, Adam Skornicki and Adrian Miedzinski in the team, the Wolves could very well make another solid away meeting, and if the Rospiggarna's second string fails to deliver, this could provide an upset. Anyway, the aggregated bonus points shouldn't come into play in this one.

 

Rospiggarna (home) (38)

1. Greg Hancock

2. Henrik Gustafsson

3. Janusz Kolodziej

PIRATERNA - DACKARNA

at Lastpartner Arena, Motala

 

The Pirates have opted to make several changes following their huge loss at Lejonen last week. Emil Sajfutdinov makes a rare appearence (only his second this season) for Piraterna, allowing Robert Kosciecha to drop to reserve where he should score heavily.

 

Dackarna have opted to keep former Piraterna rider Kenneth Bjerre out of the line-up, riding with the four big guns instead. The Målilla team will always be in contention whatever the meeting, and this one is no exception, even though the reserve could find themselves in trouble against the Sundström/Kosciecha partnership.

 

The Motala team have blown hot (61-35 against Lejonen) and cold (41-55 against Västervik) at home, and it sure will be interesting to see which of the "teams" that will show up on Tuesday night. The TV cameras from Canal+ will be at the track to find out.

 

Piraterna (home) (43)

1. Jonas Davidsson

2. Rafal Dobrucki

3. Emil Sajfutdinov

4. Antonio Lindbäck

5. Damian Balinski

6. Linus Sundström

INDIANERNA - LEJONEN

at Kumla Motorstadion

 

The two teams meeting in Kumla comes from one 61-35 victory each, Indianerna away at Rospiggarna which must be considered an impressive mission. The only one who failed to deliver at the Hallstavik track was Joonas Kylmäkorpi who has been scratched for this one, for Matej Ferjan, the Slovenian-Hungarian who has been a force at home the past seasons, but have yet to be impressive in 2009.

 

Lejonen also scored a 61-35 win last week, at home against Piraterna. Still, team manager Anders Fröjd has opted to make a changes as Ricky Kling takes Zbigniew Suchecki's place at reserve. Kling, alongside Andersson, could however find his difficult against the Gustafsson/Madsen duo at reserve, and as Jesper B Monberg has been showing some form lately, the home side must be considered favourites.

 

Indianerna (home) (43)

1. Grzegorz Walasek

2. Matej Ferjan

3. Piotr Protasiewicz

4. Jesper B Monberg

5. Rune Holta

6. Simon Gustafsson

7. Leon Madsen

ELIT VETLANDA - IKAROS SMEDERNA

at Vetlanda Motorstadion

 

This meeting has been cancelled as Ikaros Smederna have filed for bankruptcy.

 

The issue has been covered on other threads, so I'll leave it with that, though I'll give my deepest sympathies to all the fans of Ikaros Smederna. Be strong!

Västervik doesn't ride in this round.

The three meeting can be followed on www.speedway.nu from 19:00 local time, weather permitting.

Vargarna's team manager Peter Jansson says to local newspaper Norrköpings Tidningar: -"We ride with the same line-up in both meetings, if nothing radical happens". That should mean Scott in the Vargarna line-up.
