It didn't become much of a meeting at a freezing cold Vetlanda on Tuesday night (we actually had snow on the night towards Wednesday...). Rospiggarna caught some breaks early on to get a tie after four heats, but a 19-5 score in the following four heats killed the drama in this meeting. No drama on the scoresheet, and not much drama on the track either, but it takes two to tango, and only former Vetlanda rider Wieslaw Jagus was able to match the opposition througout the evening.

 

For Elit Vetlanda,

It was an good performance overall, with all riders scoring at least one heat victory each. Kolodziej would have probably taken a maximum but for a blown engine at the gate in his first ride. Hampel got excluded in his last heat for moving at the tapes for the second time on the night, which was a shame because it would have been fun to see the Hampel vs Jagus fight in heat 16, but it wasn't meant to be. All in all, a good overall performance for Elit Vetlanda.

 

For Rospiggarna,

Jagus was outstanding, I can't remember seing such a dominant rider around the track for a while, as he rode in his final four heats at least. Just incredible! Rosén did his business in beating opposition junior Aspegren 2-1, but the rest probably should forget this meeting ASAP...

 

Man of the match: Wieslaw Jagus

 

Most exciting rider: Wieslaw Jagus

New sponsorship deals in both Norrköping (home of Vargarna) and Kumla (home of Indianerna) have had their stadiums re-named, with both stadiums now being known as ICA-Maxi Arena. (ICA being one of the biggest, probably the biggest, chain of supermarkets/food store in Sweden, comparable to British chain Sainsbury's I presume)

Elit Vetlanda (home) 58 (113)

2. Janusz Kolodziej R-3-3-2*-3 = 11+1 (5)

3. Jaroslaw Hampel 3-2*-3-3-X = 11+1 (5)

6. Robin Aspegren 3-0-0-0 = 3 (4)

7. Adrian Gomolski M-2*-1*-3 = 6+2 (4)

8. Jonas Messing

 

Rospiggarna (away) 38 (79)

1. Ben Barker 1*-1-2-0-1 = 5+1 (5)

2. Sebastian Aldén 2-0-1*-0-1 = 4+1 (5)

3. Wieslaw Jagus 2-2-3-3-3-3 = 16 (6)

7. Anton Rosén 2-1-0-1* = 4+1 (4)

8. Pontus Aspgren 0 = 0 (1)

 

It's hardly surprising the result considering the team strengthens. Maybe Sullivan should have scored more, but overall that team is terrible compared to the other line-ups.
