Daniel Smith Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 What's happened to the Swedish league?? Looking at signings so far it looks in rapid decline in rider standards. Is that a fair opinion?? Is it a conscious decision by clubs over Covid threats or has it been a gradual trend similar to the British league with declining spectator & financial income etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But generally yes, Sweden is in decline like all the rest of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No too impressed with Kaczmarek signing, gives me the impression of a Polish filler who's place better could be spent on a younger Swedish rider.

I just don't think the clubs/riders are in that much of a rush since the deadline is still 3,5 months away. They have more time to secure sponsorship and etc so I think it's a bit early yet to draw any conclusions. I think some teams might be a bit cautious due to Covid-19/more restricted budget due to the 2020-season but we also don't really know where things regarding the ban from the Ekstraliga clubs will develop.

PHILIPRISING Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 WILL Doyle ride in Sweden? Has signed for Leszno and keeps stating that he will ride for Swindon. His wife and family are in England. Might be a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted November 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) Andzejs Lebedevs signed with Smederna for 2021. It will be his 6th season with Smederna. Smederna can have another three riders with an average above 0,500. Kaczmarek, Stark and William Bäckström does not count towards the rider limit.

Fixtures are usually released in mid December, don't think they'll delay it but rather have several options depending on Covid developments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
