I know but also knowing Elitserien habit to use R/R whenever you want, can see Freddie missing this one and preparing for GP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie is planned to ride which is why he was put at nr 1. It was talked about during Smederna's live broadcasts tow days ago that Freddie had given Smederna's team managers all clear after his Polish meeting the past Sunday. There have also been articles in the local newspaper about that Freddie is back in the team. Smederna may have a 12 p lead but that doesn't mean that we are in the semi final already. We still have 15 heat tonight and if you remember last year's play offs. Smederna had a big lead over Masarna but it was still close in the end.

Ghostwalker Posted September 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Protasiewicz crashed heavily in heat 5. He was leading and halfway through the final bend his bike just stopped abruptly throwing Pepe off. The riders behind him luckily managed to avoid him. Pepe is currently receiving treatment in the pit medical room. Smederna have 19-11 (70-50) after 5 heats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted September 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 26-16 after 7 heats. Pepe won't ride more tonight. Great battle between Buczkowski and Woffinden where Woffinden was past Buczek but Buczek put the throttle beyond max and held on on the outside and reclaimed first for the remainder of the heat.

Ghostwalker Posted September 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 L. Lindgren and Thomsen somehow hit each other after finishing and Thomsen is still down with ambulance on track.Smedernam had won the heat with 5-1 but Indianerna's riders stil raced each other. Really really stupid and bloody unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted September 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Thomsen wa unconscious for a while. He ha regained consciousness but are disoriented. He will be taken to hospital. Dackarna chose to meet Västervik. Next week; Dackarna - Västervik and Smederna - Rospiggarna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) Congratulations to Vastervik, tremendous meeting to watch on TV. Ljung & Madsen (surprised me) were excellent entertainment. Vetlanda's chances evaporated in heat 3 with Jonassons exclusion & Madsens bike problem. Fair play to the team manager, he did everything possible with the TSs available. Except for Pedersen the GP riders on show didn't have a good nights.

Ghostwalker Posted September 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Thomsen could feel and move his arms and legs but couldn't remember anything from the meeting. Pepe suffered a quadriceps contusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly is not effecting his riding too much as 1 minute ago i watched him come from the back in heat 1 last night to beat his brother and Woffy.

racers and royals Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Just finished watching Smederna v Indianerna and it certainly wasn`t the best match i have ever seen- attendance confirmed as 6215 which is a superb effort from the fans. No idea what Pepe was doing falling in heat 5 he was comfortably in the lead and must have just lost concentration. As for heat 11 certainly was Thomsen`s fault - however rather than them racing themselves, i thought that Lindgren slowed quicker than Thomsen after the line and Thomsen chose the wrong line and hit his team partner.

I am absolutely not sure but I think I heard Stephen Zetterwall mention a broken chain. I haven't seen any replays but IMO it look the bike just got stuck and threw Pepe off.
