Svemo site also seems to be playing up. Dackarna facebook page had a photo, overcast conditions it looked like. the teams don`t come up until 5/5.30pm on the live updates page https://ta.svemo.se/Public/Pages/Competition/DrivingSchedule/CompetitionLiveResult.aspx?Branch=Speedway&Columns=CompetitionInfo,Branch,Name,Arena,Organizer,FromDateShort&Datefilter=Today&pagesize=10&CompetitionId=10322 what annoys me a bit is that even when the team is shown - R/R is not indicated until the riders 1st race-ie Magic if named will be R/R. Edit Magic is named and it`s R/R- all other 1-5 riders can take one Edited May 9, 2019 by racers and royals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a very small point Dave- Dackarna always keep a pile of dry shale which they spread on the track normally from the big truck with the spreader attachment.

racers and royals Posted May 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Just watched Dackarna v Piraterna, the visitors very much a 2 man team- Michelsen and NKI. Pretty ordinary match delayed for about an hour after heat 8 when the ambulance was called away. Attendance 2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted May 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) Just watched Rospiggarna v Vastervik and a really heavy home defeat for the Hallstavik team. Not sure dispensing with R/R for Doyle worked. Fricke was disappointing, Gleb Chugunov`s career seems to have really stalled. Vastervik were just too good on the night with Pedersen, Buczkowski and Jack Holder impressive. Every time i see the Vastervik rider Anton Karlsson i`m impressed and i do think he is a decent rider in the making.

racers and royals Posted May 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Just watched Indianerna v Lejonen- a cracking match on the best racetrack in Sweden !. A subtle change to 2 of the teams this season is that Indianerna and Smederna are now primarily known as Kumla and Eskilstuna respectively. Woffinden was in a class of his own- so quick it was very nearly embarrassing ! Lejonen gave it everything but Kumla are a real decent team this season.

racers and royals Posted May 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) Yesterday`s last match watched Eskiltuna(Smederna) v Masarna and i have to take back everything i said about Masarna last week- a fantastic away win for the Avesta side- they probably gained from using R/R for Loktayev however Kim Nilsson was superb backed up by Lindback and Tarasenko. It was a cracking match on the 2nd best racetrack in Sweden(when prepared right) For the home team Prem Pawlicki had a mare - falling twice and MJJ and lebedevs weren`t much better.Magnus Zetterstrom was co-commentating- i couldn`t understand a word of what he was saying, but he seemed to know his stuff !!!

The team manager i’m sure does as well- and he probably has more responsibility than most of the TM’s over here, as he probably picks and negotiates the riders deals. I’m sure the clubs hava a committee each person with a designated task. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Goddard Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Hello from the studio - riding order has changed a little from the above I think. Hot and sunny in Vetlanda. Had a nice lunchtime pint - let's hope the graphics man hasn't had too many this time! Edited May 16, 2019 by Dave Goddard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
