Personally i think he needs help tactically, so hopefully he has enough tactical know how to help him making in play switches if/when required. I do not know too much about Fielding but wish him all the best . Fielding has speedway written through his core. He has done and will continue to travel an unearthly amount of miles at his own expense just because he loves the sport. I don't know if he will command the respect of the pits but he is a nice guy and is more genuine than his namesake. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,213 Posted February 5, 2020 I like Lawrence and I'n sure Laurence will do a fine job standing in. Sometimes a fresh and new perspective can have a beneficial impact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiveusaB 1,136 Posted February 5, 2020 It all points to a positive acquisition.....I can't see him having 'any' authority when LR is present ? we might need someone with a tad more experience for tactical decisions? He sounds very knowledgeable re: engines/set-ups etc ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GiveusaB 1,136 Posted February 6, 2020 I guess you have to earn respect and that can be done in many ways ? i don't think you have to have been a 'good' rider to earn respect ? Integrity,commitment and passion would be top of my list! Everyone loves a trier as they say ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
