I think our only chance is if the club Unia decide to stream it- if they do it’s bound to be late notification. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel he will ride, as will Fricke. I don't see him getting a wildcard next season so this could be his only route in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

racers and royals 8,696 Posted August 22, 2019 Lambert on Facebook "Just to keep you updated - I had a couple of practises this week. As I am still in some pain I wanted to know how I feel riding the bike. Tomorrow I’ll be back racing for my polish club Speedway Motor Lublin. Of cause it means I’ll be racing in the SGP Challenge in Gorican on Saturday too. Thank you to everyone for the messages while I was recovering. It means a lot and it is great to have such a great community behind me." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you know the answer The answer is that it’s a 21,5 hour drive from Tallinn EE to the track. But then again... According to the rules Timo is only fourth reserve and the only reason we are having this discussion is because you posted the line-up and I found out about it. Then the Finnish team manager found out about it and then Timo found out about it... Thats how CCP runs speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been an advocate of not allowing the bottom 9-15 in the challenge before, but at the end of the day they probably are amongst the world's top riders. Just gets a bit tiresome watching Zagar, Iversen and Lindback have 1 good meeting in 5, with no genuine hope of ever becoming World Champion. But on there day capable of winning a gp or at least making a final You are not going to get 16 riders all capable of being world champion.............never had that under the old system. There will always be also rans struggling............ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The talent spread is large But someone has to finish bottom. Edited August 23, 2019 by Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
