It is just two months to go to the start of the Swedish speedway season, which will see if Eskilstuna Smederna can defend their title and win a record breaking fourth year in a row.
They will have to do it without Swedish SGP rider, Freddie Lindgren, one of several big names who will not be racing in the Elitserien in 2020.
Tai Woffinden has said he will not race in the country and Artem Laguta has also not signed a contract for 2020. The Elitserien has also seen the retirement of Swedish legend, Andreas Jonsson (Rospiggarna) as well as the retirement from Indianerna of veteran Polish rider, Piotr Protasiewicz.
However, Swedish fans will still get to see world champion, Bartosz Zmarzlik (Vetlanda) and European Champion, Mikkel Michelsen (Indianerna) in 2020.
Without Lindgren on the scene, SGP rider, Antonio Lindbäck (Masarna) and some younger Swedish names will have the chance to shine this year.
How will it go for Swedish champion Jacob Thorssell (Dackarna) and how about the top Swedish riders from last year, Peter Ljung (Vetlanda), Kim Nilsson (Masarna) and Oliver Berntzon (Dackarna)?
Not to mention a series of younger riders, Christoffer Selvin, Phillip Hellström-Bängs and Alexander Woentin who will all be eligible for the U21 World Championships.
We do not have long left to find out!
