King's Lynn Stars 2020

Recommended Posts

I thought Cook filled the Puk void quite well last season while recognising he had one or two dodgy meetings and that he can probably improve in 2020 with more meetings at Lynn.

It is my belief each team of riders should be challenging for every point in every race, but unfortunately   that's the exception rather than the rule...

And a main reason , for me at least, why my £s are no longer VFM. "That wait and see if I make a better start next time" from too many riders .

The Lynn surface doesn’t help either, no point busting a gut if it’s going to make no difference.

Couldn't agree more regarding Cook,  if only he could get his head sorted, on his day so very quick & smooth. Must remember his speedway carer is relatively short. He would be my first choice to get in Lynn line up 2020. Stick my head on the chopping block here, if you get him, will end up at No1 end of season. Why, far more dedication than Lambert

Dedication to what? King’s Lynn? British speedway? Speedway in general? 

I think it’s good to have two very good riders pushing each other to be number one, should give them both extra incentive.

Put that on the Peterborough thread and you’ll probably be right.

He certainly does.

Lamber regressed last season but is a much better rider than Craig

I expect he will prove as much this season.

Just a hunch on my part: Cook will go to Peterbrough (shock I know) and Bech will be at Lynn.

It gets better all the time.    I once thought Cookie was going all the way to the top level. like you say he was quick and smooth.  But not anymore.   ! questioned why he left BV.   I cant imagine a team would get rid of a prized asset.     I want a rider who you can guarantee to get double figures every meeting  and unfortunate Cookie comes up short.    2018, Robert reached them dizzy heights, and I thought he had arrived on the world stage.   2019 Robert wasn't the same he became a shadow of the rider he was.    he appeared to have taken 2 steps backwards  and consequently the team suffered.      For Lynn to hold their own we need 2 top riders.  Riders capable of winning heats 13 and 15.  Failing that, then  it becomes a waste of time...….

Robert was superb in 2018 --- with me travelling a long way to see. Suspect injuries held him back last year but no doubt he's a talent. I'm no good at these averages (so maybe wrong) but Bech, Riss and another good 'un will be shake things up.

Terry and Malcom will be back in 2020.  We wish.
