mauger65 202 Posted October 25, 2016 Well I would like to thank the promoters for assembling a team with such promise and could challenge on all fronts They put together the team - but sadly were not rewarded  Our hopes were dashed in the league cup through BSPA, pairs and fours by national authorities Injury to Robert in the PLRC But with Cup and League to go in October it all looked good (as we were most peoples tips to win)..... however we have to be honest ... and we have imploded in October and only Robert and Ashley can say they have ridden to their ability  So the end has raised several question marks over the team for next year  Robert - been a joy to watch and would love him back but I think hes Poland bound. If not then he has to be our number 1  Victor - early September he had impressed me. Since beating Cook he's gone colder than an Arctic winter and has disappeared in October. Sadly a no  Matej - a real puzzle - rode our place much better than expected but didn't up his average much and also disappeared in October when needed. He would be in danger with the averages if I were in charge, but as a club asset he probably safe  Ludvig - club skipper and whens he's on form he is 8.5+ but needs to raise his consistency. form slippage possibly due to fatherhood. Yes - and as a skipper  Steve - a definite yes but if Robert is available he may lose on team averages  Ashley - a definite ......... did a fine job and no way to blame for the October results  Danny - no no no ........ the lad is not good enough atm and the experience of being thrashed every week hasn't raised his game. Needs to stay in NL  Terio - too much of risk on his average  Lewis - a definite yes although will find it harder in main body  1 2 3 Lewis 5.86 4 Matej 7.55 5 Ludvig 7.65 6 Ashley 4.83 7 TBC 3.00  That adds up to 28,89 leaving 13.61 for 1 and 2 which could be Robert 8.76 and brandford 4.60 (at 6 with Ashley at 2) or Steve 8.51 and Josh Bates 5.02 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arson fire 4,785 Posted October 25, 2016 It doesn't matter how you want to dress it up he's British born .Bradley Wiggins one of britains best olympians was born in Ghent, does that make him Belgian? Â Lambert is the finest 18 year old ive regularly seen ride in nearly 40 years also.... Proof of the pudding is that the only people mentioned alongside him are 3 legends of speedway. Â The lad is a class act and one of the best prospects to emerge from british speedway for decades imo. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandelion 775 Posted October 25, 2016 Will there be new averages at the end of this month? Or are the ones on the Speedway GB website the final averages? Be interesting to see if anyone drops or goes up Do you think Freddie might let Ludvig have one of them new fancy engines next year? ^_^ Maybe that might make Ludvig more than a 7.65 rider Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

erniew 163 Posted October 25, 2016 Dandelion, we were discussing Ludvig's engines on Sunday night on the terraces, they looked awfully like a Gerhard to us, so maybe big brother has already loaned him one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Breathtaking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
