Ghostwalker Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Swedish Elitserien 2015, round 1 It's May 5th 2015 and tonight it's (hopefully) première for the 2015 Elitserien season. The shortest one in many many years since it is inly 7 teams this season. As the previous couple of seasons, Elit Vetlanda are considered to be favourites to win the title again. However behind Vetlanda and (imo) Indianerna the rest of the teams are fairly equal, except Lejonen maybe which have a little weaker team but for which their home track will compensate. For all rounds Cmore will televise 1 meeting but they will also show all three meetings online (In Sweden only but with browser addons such as Hola you might be able to circumvent the geoblock). The online meetings costs 79sek (about £6). Payment by credit/debit card). Online stream site: http://www.csports.se/spelschema?sport=motorsport The televised meeting will also be shown live on Eurosport 2, 6pm UK time. We'll see if any of the meetings can go ahead since the weather forecasts looks very "un-good". Anyway here are the provisional lineups for tonight; Lejonen - Rospiggarna Lejonen Rafal Okoniewski Linus Sundström Peter Kildemand Tobiasz Musielak Krzysztof Kasprzak Pontus Aspgren Mathias Thörnblom Rospiggarna Kim Nilsson Andreas Jonsson R/R Mads Korneliussen Timo Lahti Martin Vaculik Szymon Wozniak Andzejs Lebedevs Elit Vetlanda - Ikaros Smederna (tv-meeting) Elit Vetlanda Tai Woffinden Peter Ljung Jaroslaw Hampel (K) Tomas H Jonasson Bartosz Zmarzlik Nikolai Klindt Kenny Wennerstam Ikaros Smederna Grigorij Laguta Mikkel Michelsen Peter Karlsson Pawel Przedpelski Kenni Larsen Magnus Zetterström Linus Eklöf Indianerna - Dackarna Indianerna Fredrik Lindgren Antonio Lindbäck Piotr Protasiewicz Artem Laguta Niels-Kristian Iversen Rory Schlein Anders Mellgren Dackarna Jason Doyle Michael Jepsen Jensen Nicki Pedersen (K) Joonas Kylmäkorpi Krzysztof Buczkowski Mikael Max Robin Aspegren Live results available at: http://www.svemo.se/sv/Grenar/Speedway/ Blank race card: http://www.mediafire.com/view/hq5xgd1bg2gz5z4/Blank_Heat_schedule_ES.AS.pdf Edited May 5, 2015 by Ghostwalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 There is the added bonus of the Warsaw GP which preceeds this live Swedish TV match. A bit surprised Eurosport2 have allocated a full hour for this, prior to the live Swedish meeting??! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit Vetlanda v Smederna ?? Not surprising since Lejonen-Rospiggarna will likely rain off if the weather will be like it says in the forecasts. Yes Elit Vetlanda - Ikaros Smederna is the new tv-meeting. https://twitter.com/cmoresport/status/595504075241820160 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted May 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 (edited) Vetlanda will possibly use R/R for Hampel but it is still unconfirmed though. Lejonen - Rospiggarna is off: http://www.lejonen.se/Nyheter/Nyheter1/Installt/ In Vetlanda they are waiting to see if the rain stops. IIRC they have good track covers in Vetlanda so as long as the rain stops within a reasonable amount of timeI think that meeting will be able to go ahead but no guarantees though.

Ghostwalker Posted May 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Vetlanda-Smederna will be re-staged tomorrow. Smederna will miss PK and Michelsen, Zorro will take Michelsen's position and Daniel Henderson will be the new reserve. RR will be used for PK.

krompa Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Pretty amazing that Smederna agreed to ride tomorrow without both PK and MM. What happened to Hampel by the way? Why R/R? Or will he be ready for tomorrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted May 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Pretty amazing that Smederna agreed to ride tomorrow without both PK and MM. What happened to Hampel by the way? Why R/R? Or will he be ready for tomorrow? Hampel claimed that he became ill while he was on his way to the meeting, but more likely it was more a case of aquaphobia and I wouldn't be surprised if he suddenly have recovered by tomorrow. I don't know what Smederna was thinking except saving money (travel costs) perhaps since all the riders already were there and I assume lack of other available days. the Elite League is occupying pretty much any other suitable day and then there are other meetings as well in DK, Sweden, Poland and etc... While I understand that Mikkel have to ride in Denmark, PK should be obligated to prioritize Sweden since it is in the rules and his Swedish teams have to come first.

PK has pulled out of tonight's EL fixture at Poole due to sickness so it is RR now for both matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 No PK at Poolle tonight, he's unwell (see Wolves web site).So if he is also r/r for Smederna then what is the furthest distance apart that r/r has been used for the the same rider on the same night??? Couldn't Rory Schlein take both the guest bookings!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Is there a stream for this meeting *edit no it was just results links. It is being showed on Csports.se but I don't know if there are any un-blocked streams available. Live results for Vetlanda-Smederna. http://ta.svemo.se/Public/Pages/Competition/DrivingSchedule/CompetitionLiveResult.aspx?Branch=Speedway&Columns=CompetitionInfo,Branch,Name,Arena,Organizer,FromDateShort&Datefilter=Today&pagesize=10&CompetitionId=4606 5-1 Vetlanda in heat 1. 4-2 Smederna in heat 2. We had 5-1 for two laps but Henderson for some reason didn't ride the ideal line along the white line so he lost 2nd place. Surprise surprise Hampel is suddenly not sick, could be because the sun is shining. Vetlanda are such cheaters. 5-1 Vetlanda heat 3. Heat 4, King Kenni reigns supreme. 3-3. Heat 5, 3-3 Przedpelski lead to the final bend when Ljung passed on the inside, Heat 6 5-1 Vetlanda and I have turned off the stream.
