I know Leszno are very keen on him. Opole may put in a big bid. Could become a Zlots war Edited July 29, 2020 by Mark 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
False dawn 2,294 Posted July 29, 2020 Robert has a great future. But let's take great pride in his achievement today. As David Rowe in commentary, he was in the National League 7 years ago. And now, he is beginning a World class career, winning a major championship and heading into the GP series next year. A special day. 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Well Robert Lambert is trending on Twitter. Number 17 on most talked about subjects in UK. That is a noticeable achievement. Edited July 29, 2020 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,137 Posted July 29, 2020 Well done Robert. I must admit during the series I was waiting for him to collapse, but pleasantly surprised that he didn’t. In fact he kept his cool and concentration extremely well. The prize was immense, first one to qualify for 2021 GP’ series. re Nicki P, I noticed no one these days takes a chance of swooping round a bend and going round him down the straight, it’s either go up the inside of hold back till next corner. Very wise, after all, who wants to be fenced. Roll on the 2020 GP’s. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tellboy 3,658 Posted July 29, 2020 So pleased for Lambert.Being a Lynn fan and British of course i was so nervous watching that.He thoroughly deserved that,so consistent through the series and deserves his GP spot next season. While i'm so happy for him,i am also a little concerned he may have to give British speedway a miss from next season.You would expect him to have spots in Poland and Sweden+the GP's,that may be enough for him.I sincerely hope not,but he has to think of himself to go that next step up the ladder.

uk_martin 1,606 Posted July 29, 2020 Congratulations to Robert Lambert. SEC Champion. How good does that sound?I now hope that all those British Speedway promoters who for the last 6-7 years had a misguided opinion of their place in the world speedway food chain, and who campaigned against any British rider from gracing this tournament promoted by a Polish company, who derided the tournament, and threatened sanctions against anyone who wanted to be involved (Scott Nicholls, anyone?) now eat a double helping of Humble Pie covered in Pooh Sauce.This tournament has proven its worth and has proven the British Speedway promoters wrong again. Can't wait now for some hypocritical congratulations to appear on the BSPA web site If anyone needs some grit for the winter, the promoters teeth will have as much as you like to spare. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d suggest it’s inevitable, if not next year the very soon. Fair play to him if he thinks that’s the best way forward, wouldn’t get any criticism from me. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bald Bloke 3,281 Posted July 29, 2020 His has turned the corner for sure. Hope we see him for the Stars in 2021, but i have my doubts about him riding in the UK now.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But he will call the likes of Murray, Calzaghe, Thomas etc Brits I expect. Brilliant result for Lambert. Is he on par with Woffy at the moment? I think so.
