Swedish veteran Magnus Zetterstrom will take Artem Laguta’s place in the FIM Nice Italian SGP in Terenzano on Saturday.
The Russian international has withdrawn after suffering a broken wrist in heat eight of Czestochowa’s 56-34 loss at Tarnow on Friday.
Initial X-rays were inconclusive as the 20-year-old’s hand was too swollen after his crash. But it has been confirmed that Laguta has broken a small bone and now faces some time on the sidelines.
Zetterstrom qualified as first reserve for this year’s series after finishing fifth in the Grand Prix Challenge at Vojens last August.
He took Laguta’s place in the FIM Doodson British SGP in Cardiff last month after the Valsarna man was ruled out by visa problems. The 39-year-old stormed into the semi-finals at the Millennium Stadium with eight points, but missed out on a place in the medal race after being pipped to the chequered flag by Chris Holder and Nicki Pedersen.
With Zetterstrom unable to qualify for next year’s World Championship, he will be determined to take this chance to shine in the SGP spotlight and dons the No.19 race jacket.

Jason Crump 8/1 to finish 1,2 or 3 sounds pretty decent. I'll have some of that.

Admittedly it did improve but the first half of that GP was dross of the first order, if you want to see good racing dont go to Terenzano, judging by the crowd or lack of it, the message has got through.

It's like a big Lakeside with riders going backwards on the bends before they find the grip to go forward a bit! "The track is totally different to practice" - don't you just get sick of hearing that  |

Bat out of Hell for 2 races and Brian from the magic roundabout in the other 3 One injury too many - OK if he gets out the gate and away. There are some scary, fearless, mad guys out there. Don't think Crumpy has the appetite to gamble with them anymore. |

I think it's poor that they don't pay out for all four in the final (although I did see one bookmaker do it last time, albeit at 1/5 odds instead of a 1/4). 16 runners on the horses usually gets paid out 1,2,3,4 at 1/4 odds and this should be no different IMO  |

Swedish champion Andreas Jonsson won the FIM Nice Italian Speedway Grand Prix in Terenzano on Saturday, and says his victory was a “step in the right direction” towards his World Championship dream.
The Dackarna and Zielona Gora man topped the rostrum to climb up to eighth place – the final automatic qualification spot for the 2012 series.
He is unlikely to make a push for the world title this term as American legend Greg Hancock extended his lead at the SGP summit to 22 points by pipping Antonio Lindback to second place by half a wheel.
But Jonsson has higher aspirations than just being part of the Grand Prix scene. He remains determined to become his nation’s first world champion since Tony Rickardsson lifted his record-equalling sixth title in 2005, and AJ feels his Terenzano triumph could be a turning point in his racing career.
He said: “It is really important for me and the goal of my career is to be world champion one day. This is one step in the right direction.
“But it’s no good if you win one Grand Prix and come last in 10, so I have to get it more consistent – definitely. My goal for this year is to focus and try to reach the finals. If you do that, you score enough points to stay in the higher positions.”
Jonsson’s form has been sensational in the Polish Ekstraliga and Swedish Elitserien this term and he has been running his Grand Prix rivals ragged on a weekly basis.
The Stockholm-born man hopes he can produce the same consistency in the World Championship throughout the second half of 2011.
He said: “It has been going well for the last month. We’ve found a few good setups with the engines and I’ve been feeling pretty comfortable.
“I just haven’t had any Grand Prix rounds in this time and I’ve been doing really well in all my meetings. This has proved I can do well in the GP too, and hopefully I can perform just as well in the next one.”
Jonsson admits he failed to hit his brilliant best in the SGP series’ opening rounds, but the rider is glad he persisted with his engines and feels they are now producing the results he needs.
He added: “I’ve been riding pretty much the same engines all the time and I feel I’m getting to know the bikes better and better.
“That’s what it’s all about; making the setup right for you, riding the bikes as much as you can to get used to them and make them so that you can use them 110 percent.”
Defending champion Tomasz Gollob arrived at Terenzano as red-hot favourite after dropping just three points from a possible 48 during his past two visits.
But his love affair with the Motoclub Olimpia circuit ended in heartbreak as he exited the meeting before the semi-final stages on five points.
It was also a difficult night for Britain’s sole SGP rider Chris Harris. Despite winning heat seven, his six-point tally wasn’t enough to take him into the meeting’s latter stages.
FIM NICE ITALIAN SGP POINTS:
1 Andreas Jonsson 17
2 Greg Hancock 15
3 Antonio Lindback 17
4 Kenneth Bjerre 12
5 Jaroslaw Hampel 12
6 Emil Sayfutdinov 11
7 Janusz Kolodziej 10
8 Matej Zagar 9
9 Freddie Lindgren 7
10 Jason Crump 6
11 Chris Harris 6
12 Chris Holder 6
13 Tomasz Gollob 5

He missed his flight for practise. Problem being that that was the vital piece of information Pearson missed off. |
