He has loads of ability , but always over does it. Spends too much time failing off, spends to much time injured, he will never reaps the rewards his ability is capable off because of his reckfullness. I remember when he was reserve at Cardiff SGP and came in a late race. He missed the gate, then when last he made a desperate lunge inside of Robert Lambert when there wasn't a space. They both came a cropper. Such a predictable outcome to a ridiculous move. He does it all the time and he wonders why they have such a bad opinion of him. If he was to concentrate on sensible riding he could easily become a better rider, that fans want to have in their team... Exactly my thinking and why I am not in favour of him in the team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g13webb 4,254 Posted August 9, 2018 Seeing Erik Riss last night was so pleasing to the eye. Making his home debut for the Stars he had it all in abundance. Not standing on ceremony for anyone, he mixed and battled all the way. His body language was amazing and his ability was there for all to see. Loved the way he laid on the bike 'Long Track' style going down the back straight. A wonderful acquisition that will benefit the team big time… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kickitov 104 Posted August 9, 2018 Agree that Erik Riss seems to be a great acquisition. Looked fast and on the pace from the off and makes us much stronger IMO. Interested to hear Dale say after the meeting that he didn't see the need to make changes to a winning team when questioned about Andersen possibly coming back to replace Simon Lambert. However according to Kasper's Facebook he says he's got his first meeting back in England on Monday??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,645 Posted August 9, 2018 Andersen can't come back in. If Simon was still riding on a 28 day injury contract then Riss couldn't be in the team as they'd of had to use Andersen's 4.00 average for team building. This would have put us over the points limit. To have Riss in the team we have to continue with Simon or someone else on the same or lower average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Scrutton 180 Posted August 9, 2018 Riss certainly put in a terrific performance and got the track sorted out right from Heat One Has he ever ridden it before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 2,988 Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) Looking on the speedway gb site, Eric Riss has a rolling average based on 2 matches, should they not be counting his matches from Leicester in 2017 too? Edited August 9, 2018 by szkocjasid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It depends who wants what and who they ask... then again it might change next month.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But for me, Garrity is far more likely to injure himself and others because he overrides constantly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was in his first race for a new club and wanting to impress. He was giving it his all, and unfortunately blocked Robert on that first lap. We all expected Lambert to be in the front chasing Cookie, and no doubt Riss was as surprised as anyone to see Lambert behind him... Give me a tryer anytime. Was well impressed with Riss on that first showing.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,758 Posted August 11, 2018 SIMON TO REMAIN A STAR Friday August 10, 2018 KING’S LYNN have confirmed they’ll continue to use Simon Lambert at reserve for the foreseeable future. The 29-year-old came in as a temporary replacement for injury victim Kasper Andersen last month - who crashed again during Saturday’s Danish Championship. Tru Plant Star boss Dale Allitt said: “Simon has contributed some important points since stepping in at reserve - particularly in our more recent meetings. “With that in mind and Kasper not 100% fit we’ve decided to reward Simon with some additional meetings. “We continue to wish Kasper a speedy recovery and when he proved he is 100% fit again, he will be back in the plans of King’s Lynn Speedway whenever that may be.” King’s Lynn are back in action on Monday (August 13, 7.30) when they host Wolverhampton at The Adrian Flux Arena.
