SWEDISH ELITSERIEN ROUND 3

Tuesday May 11th 2010

 

VALSARNA - LEJONEN

at Emtbjörks AB Arena, Hagfors

 

After being the odd team out in the opening two rounds of Elitserien, newcomers Valsarna steps into Elitserien with their first meeting of the season, and it couldn't be tougher opposition than the two time champions Lejonen. The Lions are still without the injured Piotr Swiderski and the management have also decided to scratch local rider David Ruud, with Troy Batchelor making his season debut for the Gislaved team.

 

This meeting will be broadcasted live on Canal+.

PIRATERNA - INDIANERNA

at Biltema Arena, Motala

 

League leading Piraterna started off the 2010 season with two crushing wins against their Östergötland region rivals Vargarna, now they face their closest opponent of them all - Indianerna. The Pirates can welcome back Antonio Lindbäck into the team, after using the Riders Replacement facility last week.

 

The Indians have opted for Leon Madsen to make his season debut instead of Niels-Kristian Iversen, despite the fact that Iversen has scored the most points for the Indians in the opening rounds.

ROSPIGGARNA - VÄSTERVIK

at Orionparken, Hallstavik

 

Both teams meeting in Hallstavik comes from a double loss against tough opponents, but are looking to rebound with a couple of wins against a side - which I guess they both believe - they should win against. If one of these teams lose both their home and away meeting in the round 3-4 double header, that team will most likely not reach the Play Off. It's a crucial double header, despite the fact that it's early in the season.

 

Rospiggarna is still missing Jesper B Monberg for a while, and Mads Korneliussen will keep filling in for his countryman. They ride with the same riders as last week, just as Västervik. However, the rolling average has dictated a change, with Nicolai Klindt moving into the main body and Peter Ljung dropping to reserve.

DACKARNA - ELIT VETLANDA

at G&B Arena, Målilla

 

Both Dackarna and Elit Vetlanda cruised to a double win over two teams predicted to in the bottom of the standing, Västervik and Rospiggarna respectively. The two meetings in round 3 & 4 will provide both teams with a much more realistic test of their medal capacity for this season.

 

Dackarna continues with their standard line-up, to no surprise, leaving Rory Schlein and Grzegorz Zengota on the sidelines. Changes though for Elit Vetlanda as the management duo of Staaf/Wirebrand wants to test their remaining squad riders, with both Patrick Hougaard and Jurica Pavlic making their season debuts instead of Martin Vaculik and Adrian Gomolski. A change is also made at their junior position as Jonas Messing replaces Robin Aspegren.

SWEDISH ELITSERIEN ROUND 4

Tuesday May 18th 2010

 

VALSARNA - LEJONEN 43-53

at Emtbjörks AB Arena, Hagfors

 

Attendence: 1550

 

Heat details, courtesy of www.speedway.nu.

 

Not even 1600 persons were counted as Valsarna rode their first Elitserien fixture for seven years, and despite the fact that two time champions Lejonen - with Nicki Pedersen in the line-up - came to town. That must have been disappointing, and even worse - the home side lost. Valsarna turned a six point deficit after three heats to a four point lead just four heats later, but the Lions were stronger after the interval, and managed a ten point win.

 

Valsarna (home) 43

1. Grigorijs Laguta 3-3-2-1-0 = 9 (5)

2. Daniel Nermark X-3-2*-2-1 = 8+1 (5)

PIRATERNA - INDIANERNA 50-45

at Biltema Arena, Motala

 

Attendence: 3080

 

Heat details, courtesy of www.speedway.nu.

 

The Pirates remain unbeaten after three rounds, winning the local derby against Indianerna by a five point margin. The partnership of Jonas Davidsson and Damian Balinski (late replacement for Antonio Lindbäck) scored two maximums in heats 6 & 8 to give Piraterna the lead for good. In theory, the meeting went to a last heat decider, but as Piraterna had a five point lead before heat 16, Indianerna would have needed both home riders as non-finishers in the last race to gain a point.

ROSPIGGARNA - VÄSTERVIK 45-51

at Orionparken, Hallstavik

 

Attendence: 1667

 

Heat details, courtesy of www.speedway.nu.

 

Rospiggarna suffered a huge blow for their Play Off chances already in round 3, as they lost at home to Västervik. Nicolai Klindt and Peter Ljung won heats 3 & 4 respectively, and they went on to become the surprise packages of the night, to complement the Grand Prix duo of Gollob & Harris. However, the meeting wasn't decided until the nominated heats, but as Chris Harris won heat 15, with Peter Ljung in third place, that was it.

DACKARNA - ELIT VETLANDA 51-45

at G&B Arena, Målilla

 

Attendence: 5611

 

Heat details, courtesy of www.speedway.nu.

 

The Leszno duo of Hampel/Kolodziej were on fire early on to produce two maximums in heats 3 & 7, which opened up a 24-18 lead for the away team. Then, Jurica Pavlic stunned three Grand Prix riders to win heat 8 (though team mate Crump was last!), and when Lee Richardson shocked Rune Holta by a great pass in heat 9 to split the home pair, Elit Vetlanda still looked in control.

 

After the interval, Jurica Pavlic won the second reserve heat by a huge distance, but after that, the home team started to fire up. The remaining heats were won by a dominant total of 21-9, and Elit Vetlanda just couldn't find a way to stop the running train, losing a couple of vital point on the finish line on a couple of occasions didn't help either.

 

The meeting went to a last heat decider, but with two GP riders (Holta and Jonsson) against Lee Richardson and Janusz Kolodziej, it didn't come as a surprise to see the home side scoring a maximum to win it by six in total, in an expected win.

 

Dackarna (home) 51

1. Hans Andersen 1*-1-2-2*-R = 6+2 (5)

2. Andreas Jonsson 2-3-0-3-3-2* = 13+1 (6)

6. Jurica Pavlic 3-1*-3-1-3-1 = 12+1 (6)

7. Jonas Messing 0-0-N-R = 0 (3)

8. Henric Lindqvist

 

For Dackarna,

Andersen actually deserved some more. He didn't gate much, but was involved in quite some action. Jonsson was good, as he should be. (Fredrik) Lindgren scored valuable points throughout the meeting. Karlsson only had five lap before being replaced twice, won't even judge him on that. Holta showed class once again, which is a bit surprising considering it's still early on in 2010 and he usually comes stronger later in the year. Kling and (Ludvig) Lindgren beat opposition junior Messing for their points, not close to beat anyone else.

 

For Elit Vetlanda,

Richardson fought hard for the points and produced an excellent pass on Holta to split the home pair in heat 9 before disappearing in heat 16. In honesty, he is a rider for heat 15, but often has to do a job in heat 16 on the road. Hougaard looked slow, and not particulary smooth on the night. Hampel gated twice, but faded, as the scoresheet says. Kolodziej got stranded on the start line in his fourth, but was involved in every other race, and deserved more. Crump was hit and miss, which is unusual to see. Pavlic was great, though most points were scored against reserves, he mixed it with Dackarna' stars as well. Messing wasn't really close this time.

 

Man of the match: Rune Holta

 

Most exciting rider: Janusz Kolodziej
