Swedish 2021 Season (info on 1st page with signings, rules and etc).

[racers and royals]

Greg Hancock has signed for another season with Piraterna.

I don't know. It has been very quiet so far with rumours in general and I haven't seen specific about Emil.

 

However I think we can say that he won't be riding for any of Vetlanda, Lejonen, Indianerna and possibly Dackarna.

That leaves Smederna, Piraterna and Rospiggarna. Emil have ridden for Piraterna a number of years ago

but if I remember it correctly, he only rode a few meetings, then there were rumours about him and Piraterna's

team manager Stefan Andersson not getting along.

 

However would either of these team be interested in paying that quite hight salary that Emil most likely would ask for?

I'd say that they probably wouldn't unless some big sponsor stepped in and offered to pay his salary.

 

So I think there might be a possibility that we won't see Emil next year in Elitserien but

again I don't know anything and it's hard to speculate when there is little or no info available.

What a difference 10 days make!!

There is/was an agreement between the clubs to have three Swedish riders/lineup, however both Rospiggarna and Dackarna

have signed contracts with non Swedish riders (Timo Lahti -Rospiggarna, Rasmus Jensen Dackarna) that are going to rider on Swedish licenses.

 

Rasmus Jensen will also ride for Vargarna in allsvenskan. Two other signings for Vargarna are René Bach och Jari Mäkinen.

I've updated the team signings for Allsvenskan and Elitserien.

[racers and royals]

So how does the Swedish Elite league go about creating a meaningful league programme with only 7 clubs.

This is the R& R suggestion.

 

Regular season part 1

Each team meets each other home and away=6 home 6 away

 

Regular season part 2

the top 3 teams after part one are guaranteed play-off spots.

They now meet each other home and away again= 2 home 2 away -points gained in part 1 are carried on to part 2

Top team after part 2 can choose play-off semi opponent and choice of 1st leg home or away.

 

Teams placed 4-6 after part 1 meet each other home and away= 2 home 2 away and the top team after part 2 makes play-off.

Team in 7th after part 1=season over.

NB no team in 4-6th position overtakes top 3 in 2nd phase.

2 semi`s and grand final all over 2 legs.

Piraterna have decided to include Darcy in the squad despite not knowing if he will be suspended or not.

It also seems that there is no transfer window next season they cannot replace him if he is given a further suspension.
