I remember when he used to ride for the KL young stars about 9/10 years ago. It was germany that actually allowed him to progress, i wouldnt say this country really helped him at all. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From an article in todays Lynn News. “I do believe with the base we have now and the groundwork that has been done if we keep five out of the seven riders, that will put us in a very good position for next year."

Trees 2,814 Posted September 23, 2022 9 hours ago, wtf said: Dan Bewley could have rode in the UK this year very easily. All he had to do was NOT ride in Sweden, just like Doyle and J Holder. Bewley is as loyal to UK speedway as Lambert or Woffinden. He just didn't have a British Title to his name until a week ago He said he wanted to try a whole season in Sweden, perhaps he's done it and got it out of his system ready for his comeback next season ..... hopefully! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trees 2,814 Posted September 23, 2022 9 hours ago, TTT said: Lambert will never be a World Champion. He shouldn't turn his back on the country that developed him and gave him the opportunity in the first place. British bosses stopped Dan from riding over here this year. Agreement in place with Belle Vue and the deal was approved by Wroclaw. That's what Lynn thought with NKI, we know how that ended up!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trees 2,814 Posted September 23, 2022 12 hours ago, wtf said: Completely agree, I just don't understand this "thirst for credibility" It's entertainment for crying out loud. But it's not just speedway, Football is a joke sport with its constant simulation, diving and feigning of injuries. Rugby is going the same way with it's "your tackle was 1cm too high, you're sent off" mentality. Everything is manufactured to suit a bigger agenda these days, from News, x-factor, Bake off, and sport in general. People just need to accept speedway for what it is. 4 people doing 4 laps on bikes with no brakes. and enjoy it for that. If people continue to look for a virtuous outcome, they will find only crushing disappointment. (in everything) Hehehe you're right about football wtf ....... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They helped a lot more than British speedway did when he was young. 100%, I'd argue British Speedway stagnated Robert Lambert when he was here. It wasn't until he went to Sweden & 2nd tier in Poland he kicked on again. Now with Torun & GP's he's gone on again. Hopefully the progress will continue. I'd argue the same with Dan Bewley. He was going stale & really struggled in Poland, until Woffinden stepped in & gave him equipment. Both Lambert & Bewley have really really gone on to establish themselves as 'World Class' & they absolutely owe British Speedway nothing. For any rider that wants to reach the top of the game, they have to leave this island & head to the greater Europe 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pickering did say it would be great if all 7 could be back but as it's a numbers game it would be great if we could get at least 5 of the 7 back.Also Jakobsen said he has enjoyed his time at Lynn and i think he did say it would be good to come back.Klindt wasn't there for any comments.

kelvinht 354 Posted September 25, 2022 I would have Klindt and Jakobsen back - both seem to have fitted in well and have that rarity at Lynn that they can gate! A team of racers is all well and good as they can be exciting to watch but too many racers won't win anything. I'd start with Klindt, Jakobsen, Picko plus Jack Thomas and build from there. Worrall is pretty consistent so ought to back too. Jorgensen and Lawson are the real question marks for me as they are too inconsistent but do give 110% effort 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
