BWitcher 12,453 Posted June 5, 2018 Poor 1st half but 2nd half of the meeting has been fantastic... and the lesser nations have been very much part of it. Great riding from Woffinden and Lambert there. Lambert did superbly to keep Lindgren back for as long as he did. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chunky 6,016 Posted June 5, 2018 Well, well, well... A great ride from both of them! Another "ruthless" move from Lindgren there, although Lambert was quite happy to mix it. Steve 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Lady 5,400 Posted June 5, 2018 I'm still no fan of Woffy, but total respect to him tonight, one of only 2 riders that looked for their team mate. The other incidentally was Lambert in the race with the Swedes. still found the whole format boring . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can’t totally disagree with that although understand why he was on his home track, I think the next best option might have been Bewley? Hell of a leap for a kid 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will turn the track over, a quick track grade and off you go... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Think it just got better as the 2nd half of the meeting seemed to have more even sides in each of the races. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
