Facts about Marketa Stadium:
With its 353 meters, it is one of the World Cup series' longest courses.
Fredrik Lindgren has won here before (2018), but also Tony Rickardsson in 1998 when he won his second World Cup gold.
Expert Comments:
- Bartosz Zmarzlik is the favorite.
Due to the fact that he rides well in Prague, but also that he also wants revenge from the previous GP in Warsaw last where he fell on the finish line and did away a bit in the semifinals where he had a final place, says SVT speedway expert Andreas Jonsson to SVT Sport .
What chances does Fredrik Lindgren have?
- I can feel that he has much more to give.
What I would like to see from Fredrik is that he releases more.
He looked a little stiff in Croatia.
I know he can do much better.
The bikes go well and he looks very harmonious.
But I know he can do much better.
He needs to be a little more relaxed, then the results will also come further.
He has extremely high potential, says Andreas Jonsson.
Formula 1, Monaco Grand Prix:
When:
Sunday 29 May.
Where:
Monaco.
Swedish participant:
No Swedish driver in F1 right now.
Facts about the Monaco track: The
Monaco Grand Prix received F1 status in 1950. It is the only race with a tunnel.
Here, Swedish F1 legend Ronnie Petersson won in 1974. Last year, Max Verstappen won.
Expert Comments:
- My favorite to win the Monaco Grand Prix is the Monegasque Charles Leclerc.
He took pole position last year, but could not complete the race.
I think he's ready this year.
Ferrari is ready.
But I have a small flaw in the fact that there were engine problems in Barcelona where he had to break the race, says SVT's engine expert Robert Dahlgren.
What do you think of the course?
- The course in Monaco is incredibly interesting.
I competed there in 1996 in karting, and was in the first starting line with Michael Schumacher.
The track is now as then, very tight and tight.
When it's slow, it's incredibly slow, and when it's fast, it's incredibly fast.
You demand a lot from the car with incredibly fast load changes at high speeds, and incredible precision from the driver.
The winner in Monaco has done fantastically well.

Expert Comments
:
- The favorite in the Indy 500 for me is Marcus Ericsson.
I know he is Swedish, but in this case I see him as an incredible driver talent who has built this up over time with his routine and experience.
I think he is ready to take home the dent, says SVT's motor expert Robert Dahlgren to SVT Sport.
How's it going for Felix Rosenqvist?
- Felix is incredibly interesting.
But he gives me a little headache.
How should one relate to his achievements?
He can be tremendously fast, but can he do results that are impressive over a race distance?
I do not think the Arrow McLaren car is there to win this race.
But he will surely be at the forefront of the results list.
