Don't get why I should have shame, it's a silly joke nothing personal towards anyone, but don't bother explaining. Edited May 3, 2019 by Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sommelier 1,118 Posted May 4, 2019 IMO this is a step to far for Lambert at this time in his career, hope im proven wrong. He is getting beaten up on the first turn big time in Polish league, but the bar is set a lot higher in the GPs! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with you and the worry is that he doesn't make the most of his big chance he might find himself lower down the pecking in order for a pick He was better yesterday for Lublin but you still wouldn't have him anywhere near a top 16 rider list in Poland. He seems to start meetings very slowly and doesn't seem to be able to consistently get out of the gate All that said he was excellent in the SON and perhaps some if the trickier tighter tracks in SGP may suit him.

Yes, you say better at Lublin yesterday, Kurtz rounded him on the last turn, just watch the body language of Robert going down the back straight into the last turn, all wrong! He also looks so stiff on the bike, nothing flowing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then I just realised I'd watched Gorzow v Lublin on YouTube and not Leszno v Lublin!!! FFS! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It helped Tai and look how good he was next time he got in the GP's. He might surprise us in one or two GP's with a semi final. He has huge talent so I hope he doesn't get slagged on here. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 20,990 Posted May 4, 2019 Let him gain some experience whilst at the same time hoping Greg's wife has a speedy recovery and he is back soon. Not sure on the situation, but guess it isn't something that will be solved in the next few weeks though 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,781 Posted May 4, 2019 Still early in the season, more to come from Robert I’m sure. He’s not fully up to speed yet the same as a lot of riders. Riding in a few GP’s will be invaluable experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would argue at this stage in his career Lambert needs to be racing in meetings like this as its the only way to learn. IMO he can go to Warsaw with no pressure as depending on Greg Hancock`s circumstances he might only get one or two SGP`s so should take those with open arms, after that its up to the rider to come through the qualifiers which his experiences in Warsaw should help him with. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
