The most creative  this week  is that Västervik claims that Nicki is long time injured and was allowed to replace him Zagar
despite Nicki several days ago said that he would ride on Sunday (yesterday) which he also did.
The claim is that Nicki's hand is swollen but IMO the swelling will give in until tomorrow evening and Nicki
will surely ride in both the GP and in Poland on Sunday. Västervik should therefore not have been allowed to
replace Nicki due "long time injury". If Nicki can't ride then use R/R or another rider. This is cheating.

Also Vetlanda have filed a complaint regarding the matter, with the National Swedish Sports association
(Riksidrottsförbundet) which is a kind of umbrella organisation for sports (idrott) in Sweden.

Weather forecasts look ok. Eskilstuna and Kumla will have cloudy weather and the other two will have partially sunny/cloudy weather. It should quite warm though.

Smederna is the only team with 3 wins so far. Really Strong victory where Masarna looked like they could fight
back. Smederna were too strong though in the end (as in the previous two meetings) and could finish them off in heat 13.

Lindgren's and Iversen's double strike in heat 13 was really delicious. Masarna were 5-1 out of the tapes but
the Smederna duo went for the inside going out of bend 2 on lap 1 which saw them pass both Masarna's riders.
It was also nice seeing Woentin getting better and better for each meeting. He was really good tonight, even
challenging Lindbäck in one heat. Lebedevs is still struggling. He seems to have the speed to some extent
but the gating isn't there.

Overall a good performance from Smederna tonight. Masarna only have one good rider and that is Tai, I think he opted
for the first nomination heat to be able to get a maximum but he made a mistake (was under pressure) which
saw him knock Kim Nilsson into the airfence.

So far Smederna, Dackarna and Rospiggarna look really strong but it's still very early.

I watched the Freesports broadcast and felt that the Swedish match had only 3 exciting races ( for me that does not include coming out of the 2nd bend first lap ) so 5/10, The Polish match was a bit better and until the deadlock was broken it was anyone's match so 7/10.
