Swedish supporters in general are unhappy with Masarnas policy to send a weakened side to Hallstavik. They are without both Leigh Adams and Emil Sajfutdinov, and it looks like they are pretty much throwing this meeting.

Elsewhere Lejonen have their best side lined-up against Piraterna and Jesper B. Monberg is rightly dropped at Hammarby after last weeks shameful performance from the dane. Vetlanda look up for it though and will send a strong looking side to the capital, spearheaded by Crump and Holta. This should be a good one. Crump is likely to better his 4-point haul in Stockholm from last year..

[admin]

And by the looks of things, the Blacksmiths of Smederna have axed the "Poo Boy" Rory Schlein.

[schumi]

And Max is still at reserve.

Coventry fans aren't too happy with Andreas Messing for riding last week when he didn't ride here either. Hammarby look much stronger for having dropped Jesper.

As for the Rospiggarna meeting, I can understand the sentiment, but Leigh was never going to be at all the meetings, so it makes sense to rest Emil in a meeting they're unlikely to win away without him.

[admin]

Certainly makes financial sense, which is probably a consideration for MasarnaAvesta.

[Deleted]

Ofcourse it makes sense for Masarna, but it´s not them who are complaining. Rospiggarna will suffer a drop in crowds more than likely. Some other teams will feel hard done by because they had to face Masarnas best side, and at the end of the summer when the battle for both play-offs and relegation heats up some of those points won or lost against Masarna might prove crucial. I think it´s a worrying trend and hope that other teams don´t follow suit. To pick and choose which meetings to win and which to throw away. Sports should always be about trying to be as good as possible.

On another note it looks like R/R for Bjerre which is a complete joke unless he damaged himself in some way on saturday in the GP-qualifier, of which I have not heard.

Which is why it's not a good idea to sign a rider who won't commit to all the meetings for the season. Although I find myself torn here, knowing how much of an influence Leigh brings to a meeting. It's just one of those things. However, Simon Stead is nowhere near Adams' standard, and if I were paying to see that team I probably wouldn't be happy either.

Well, he was given painkillers and trailed around at the back of his first heat, but then he won the second.
I think Ken can be excused considering his injury, and had it not been a GP qualifier at the weekend I'm sure he wouldn't have even considered a return to the saddle.
Over here, our fans can't make up their mind whether he's brave or just foolish.

Indianerna..5..1..0..4..208-270..2
Smederna..5..0..0..5..211-269..0

It's tight at the top, whilst Smederna are still in the relegation zone, not having won a single meeting.

[Deleted]

Yes Bjerre is probably in pain but I'm very doubtful as to wheter Masarna should be allowed to use R/R for him. He has made his comeback from injury - this saturday in GP qualifyers and I just think it's dodgy. They can rest him if he's not feeling well, but R/R is only to be used for injured riders or riders who are riding a meeting ordered by their home federation.

Rospiggarna and Lejonen are likely to win in this round aswell, which makes it crucial for Hammarby to get the points against Vetlanda aswell - but this is a tough meeting. Some outrage in Sweden as the great white hope of Småland - Thomas H. Jonasson is dropped for an aging pole in Skornicki.

I don't mind, Skornicki's a better rider. The best should ride.

[schumi]

Apparently Protasiewicz won't be riding tonight. Can Smederna get their first win in the battle to avoid relegation?

[marron]

Will be interesting to see how Linus Eklof does after his impressive showing at the weekend.
