Ghostwalker Posted February 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Nothing officially decided yet but there are apparently plans that the 2021 Individual SM-final will be a part of "Sm-veckan" (Swedish championship week). Sm-veckan is a like a national mini olympics where lots of sports come together and have their Swedish championship in the same city during one week. SM-veckan 2021 is held at Linköping (Filbyterna's hometown) and if the plans become reality the speedway final would be shown live on SVT (Swedish equivalent of BBC).

Ghostwalker Posted March 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 No decision yet on how to handle the Covid-19 situation except that there won't be meetings run without spectators. Problems mentioned are also quarantine of riders / people that traveöl between countries. A rider cannot go ride in different countries if they have to spend a week in quarantine each time. https://www.elitspeedway.com/artikel/p8omak806-21mi1/ess-vi-kommer-inte-att-kora-utan-publik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted March 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Svemo have issued a ban from riders from other countries coming to Sweden to participate in activities (mainly motocross). Apparently riders from Denmark have ignored the travel ban and travelled to Sweden to participate in activities. The same goes for Swedish riders who are not allowed to leave the country to participate in activities in other countries. https://www.svemo.se/Nyheter/forbundsnyheter/forbudforforarefrandanmarkochovrigalanderattdeltaiverksamhetisverige?fbclid=IwAR3PearbbqBwURBRkUU3pWQW8lqiy3yw8slJLetdG7PO9bUrfhbWxgEi9aU#.XoMmZhTIPQo.facebook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted April 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 New decision today. All competive motorcycle sport (governed by Svemo) is cancelled until further notice. Training and membership/board meetings are still allowed though. https://www.svemo.se/Nyheter/forbundsnyheter/nyttbeslutfransvemosstyrelseomattalltavlingsverksamhetinomsvemostallsin?fbclid=IwAR1VwMyM94rowSuDtH1xHCgRk60-D_cyzPTqCzWEAAByfogr5ledNmsq5nA#.XoSgVN4rbX8.facebook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted April 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 Quote Additional starting options for the Swedish speedway elite league – BAUHAUS-league The Swedish elite speedway clubs association, Elite Speedway Sweden (ESS) have already announced that the BAUHAUS-league will be delayed due to the Corona pandemic. Previously, alternatives have been presented for different start dates in June. Now the clubs have worked out even more alternatives for a later start as well. ...... At the end of March, ESS communicated different launch dates in June for the Swedish elite league, depending on the restrictions that Covid-19 imposes. For more opportunities to carry out the season, the elite clubs together have discussed additional options and come up with several different possible solutions with start dates until August 11th. https://www.elitspeedway.com/artikel/to8iak99k-21mi1/fler-startalternativ-for-bauhaus-ligan scroll down for English version.

Ghostwalker Posted May 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Jerker Eriksson is sceptic about Swedish Elitserien resuming this year.
