Hello, I have a business trip to Stockholm mid-April. Can somebody tell me if the speedway season will have started by then?

Hello, I have a business trip to Stockholm mid-April. Can somebody tell me if the speedway season will have started by then?

 

If you are a lucky, there might be some pre-season meetings (too early to say at the moment) but the regular season doesn't start until the first Tuesday in May.

[Ghostwalker]

Some good news. Filbyterna in Linköping who stopped with the speedway a number of years ago due to the mandatory requirement for tracks to be equipped with an airfence.

They have now bought a used airfence from Elit Vetlanda and Filbyterna have also started working on the track, putting on new track material, as well as working with

other minor things to get the track/arena back into a usable shape.

 

Initially they will only use the track for practice for 80cc and 500cc. They also have plans to arrange some sort of training camps.

For 2016 there is a gentlemen's agreement between the clubs to have three Swedish (by nationality, not license) riders in each lineup. The two lowest floating averages goes

to 6 and 7, the others to pos 1-5. The team manager can choose internal positions himself. Positions are usually shifted slightly depending on if it is a home or away meeting.

12 heats is required to obtain a new floating average. Team building average (ingångssnitt) stays the same the entire season.

NO Sayfutdinov?

[Ghostwalker]

NO Sayfutdinov?

 

His average makes it quite difficult to fit him in.

 

Sure you can replace Bartoz and Ricky with Emil and Jesper Sögaard but the question is how much you will gain/loose from that.

 

1. Tai Woffinden 1,948
2. Tomas H Jonasson 1,500
3. Emil Sajfutdinov 2,390
4. Oliver Berntzon 0,648
5. Jarek Hampel 2,000
6. Kenny Wennerstam 0,500

SO Emil could just end up with Polish league and the SEC ... very under-employed surely.

I think Emil and Bartoz will share the meetings. Especially since Bartosz will be doing the GP-series this season.

 

Vetlanda could also theoretically replace Tai or Jarek with Emil but they then need to replace THJ with Mikkel Bech (+Sögaard for Kling if Tai) but I don't

think Vetlanda will do that since THJ is from Vetlanda (or just outside). At least not in the beginning of the season.

[Dawkins20]

my power ranking:

 

1. Elit Vetlanda

2. Indianerna

3. Piraterna

4. Ikaros Smederna

5. Lejonen

6. Rospiggarna

7. Dackarna

8. Masarna

It was similar situation at start of last season when Emil didn't ride until Jarek was injured

[Ghostwalker]

1. Elit Vetlanda

4. Ikaros Smederna

5. Lejonen

6. Rospiggarna

7. Dackarna

8. Masarna

 

What do you think?

 

I think that Vetlanda is clear favourites but after them it is a pretty much an open game between the rest of the teams. Personally I would switch positions

between Rospiggarna/Piraterna and Smederna/Lejonen. Lejonen have a pretty big advantage of their home track which Rospiggarna also have to some extent.

I also think that Dackarna will be better then 7th.

 

Smederna have many good riders but their Swedish riders are pretty week, then there are some ? regarding Laguta and Zagar. How well will they perform?

Laguta wasn't as good last season as he have been the two previous seasons and Zagar have never really done that well in the Swedish league.

However Smederna do have Michelsen available as well and he can replace Kenni, Zagar or Laguta without needing to replace Zorro who himself also

is a bit of a question mark since he usually is very up and down. But I guess that Smederna didn't really have much choice when Thorssell signed for Rospiggarna,

Kim Nilsson signed with Masarna and Berntzon went to Vetlanda.

 

But as I said it will probably be a very open game between the rest with Masarna as the possible weakest team but they have KK on a very low average and if

he gets going again then Masarna could also do pretty well. It will be interesting to see what Lambert can do. I think he will do pretty well.

 

I think final standings will be something like this;

 

1. Vetlanda
2. Indianerna
3. Rospiggarna
4. Lejonen
5. Dackarna
6. Smederna
7. Piraterna
8. Masarna

CANNOT be a very satisfactory situation for a rider probably one of the best if not the best to be sitting on the sidelines waiting for someone to get injured or be rested.
