Late R/R for Freddie expected as they are already in the semis?

He rode yesterday and whilst not at his best didn`t seem inconvenienced by the injury.

I know but also knowing Elitserien habit to use R/R whenever you want, can see Freddie missing this one and preparing for GP.


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.

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.

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.

As Ghostie has already posted Smederna v Rospiggarna meet each other next Tuesday 11th September in the semi 1st leg and is the TV match which is live on Freesports starting at 6pm UK time - the other semi 1st leg next Tuesday is Dackarna v Vastervik(Dackarna have  chosen to be at home 1st)

3127 at Vastervik yesterday

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.
