PIRATERNA 42 V 48 VETLANDA
Piraterna were the only team who did not race in the first week of Elitserien. And tonight, they got to host Bartosz Zmarzlik and Vetlanda Speedway at RMV Skog Arena.
And the double world champion was in fine form, breaking the track record twice in the match.
With 10 points separating the two teams coming into the three nomination heats, Vetlanda seem to have the match more or less won.
But Motala fought back with impressive 5:1s in Heats 13 and 14 as Piraterna’s dominated proceedings.
But it was the Polish duo of Dominik Kubera (pictured) and Zmarzlik who put the breaks on a Piraterna party with a final 1:5 to take home the match 42:48.
“My performance was okay,” said Zmarzlik to Five One Racing after the match, “but the most important thing was that the team won,” he said as everyone packed up in the depot.

DACKARNA 55 V 35 MASARNA
Masarna continue to struggle in their defence of the 2020 Swedish Championships. This time away at Målilla, it was Dackarna who won three 5:1 heats before the nominations were called. Jacob Thorssell (8+3) was the only rider to be involved in two of those three wins when he came second in Heat 3 and then won Heat 9 for the home team.
That made impossible for the reigning champions to get back into the match as almost every rider struggled for the Avesta club. It was only Piotr Pawlicki who seemed to be on form for Masarna, and he finished just two points off a maximum.
Meanwhile, Dackarna were led home by their two SGP riders, Maciej Janowski (14) and Jason Doyle (12). They were backed up by Danish rider, Rasmus Jensen who scored an impressive 12+1.
Dackarna Malilla: 55
9. Maciej Janowski (3, 3, 3, 2, 3) 14
10. Frederik Jakobsen (0, 1, 2 *, 1 *, 3) 7 + 2

SMEDERNA V LEJONEN
The televised match between two of the favourites for this year’s title was delayed due to quality of the track in Eskilstuna. After one hour of waiting and discussion the match was cancelled and heavy rain that came last night blamed for the problems.
