OveFundinFan 4,137 Posted March 12, 2020 Lidsey, I think will make it, impressive in the under 21's world championship. If Dan doesn't make big strides this year then I will begin to wonder if he will. My big concern is Lambert. Again, like Dan, this will be a defining year for Lambert.

I don't think you can compare the current crop of Australian riders with the greats of the past. Wow, I think you will be in a very small minority with you opinion of J Lidsey, which you are perfectly entitled to. Edited March 14, 2020 by hyderd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well its not surprising Belle Vue fans think that, good luck to him but he's got to improve a lot in my opinion to reach that level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well of course he has but you can say that about the vast majority of riders of his age and experience. What people are saying is that the signs are there that one day in the future he will be of GP standard. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's got nothing to do with being a BV supporter. The titles he has at his age are way beyond average. Being a BV fan doesn't impact that part of my logic. If I felt he wasn't going to be good enough, I would say so. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe a move to BV will help get him back on the right track! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly hasn’t kicked on to the same degree as Max has. For a while there was little between them but Max really pulled away last year. The track will help Brady at BV but the travelling certainly won’t. I’m 50/50 on him. Hopefully he kicks on now he’s away from the ploughed field that is Wimborne road and at a proper race track. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I often felt Wimborne road affected both Brady and Jack Holder progressing quicker both can push on now as they have two great home tracks to ride on.

At P&P brady said its ice to have a smooth track as his own track. He will definitely feel more confident in himself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaymon has just turned 21 last month, last year was his first in British speedway where he held his own at the NSS, yes he struggled at other British tracks, but so does every other young rider in their first season over here.Don't forget that Jaymon only rode in the Premiership, so a pretty tough 1st season, don't you think. If he continues to improve at the NSS, and also on the away meetings he has the potential to become a regular in the GP'S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not saying Lidsey doesn't have talent but don't really think Polish results are relevant as most of the tracks are similar to the NSS I am assuming. In my opinion he still has a lot to prove. I actually think Poland results are relevant, that is why for me why would Lidsey/ Bewley ever leave the brilliant NSS as a home venue.Nuturing there talents in the uk is a help but for me gathering more experience in Poland,Sweden,Denmark (etc) is more advantageous in there longterm development. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is very true, a top speedway rider should be the aim for all up and coming young riders, SGP is their ambitions (or should be) and SGP tracks are big,fast and mostly well prepared. The NSS is one of the best tracks in Europe and should help our young stars of tomorrow to be better prepared for racing over there. I personally think B Kurtz will kick on now he has a track he can trust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
