Haza 1,774 Posted November 30, 2023 For me Allit hasn’t been mentioned in press releases and Jorgensen isn’t in the 2024 team do feel for Simon Lambert as he did nothing wrong and everything right last season 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However , as one of my all time favs right from 2003 when signed at Newport on a 9.0 average and classed by many as an awful signing , id love to see him have a great season. At 2 or 4 around Lynn, you never know. class rider in his day, dominated the polish and uk averages for a couple of years and made world number 3 . If only the old school bsf posters Racer X and Jungle Jake still posted here... i always said he would have a better career than their beloved Zagar, Janusz K , Jonas Davidsson and Bjerre and was proved right! Certainly around Lynn, there is just as much chance that he will be come back and improve on last season especially without that pressure. He didn't have the speed in his bike, spent most of his time in a struggling team and wasn't at his best. He seemed to have found a lot more from his bikes in the last 6 weeks of the season. Also think that this is an exciting team that Kings Lynn have put together, with riders who will be fully committed.

Guess 4.01 must be the cut-off if Flint (4.00) can be a RS but Kemp (4.04) can't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't help but think they could've been even better with a stronger rider in place of MPT. Yes I've read comments about riders agreeing, then changing their minds, but without reading anything official, can only comment on the signed riders. agree they look a lot better Tobias alone will be worth going for lets hope his attitude rubs off on the rest of the team he never gives up - the good news for Stars fans is they are cup semi finalists already in 2024! They are still over 1 pt below the limit however! Edited December 1, 2023 by GeneralMelchett Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bald Bloke 3,287 Posted December 1, 2023 I'm hoping it's Rob picking the team, within Busters budget of course. I cant see him agreeing to be TM otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's not really the case, Lambert could have replaced any of the Lynn team. It's just that they wanted to have a 5 point reserve, Lambert isn't strong enough to make the team. Had they run with a 4.00 reserve (just under the limit) then yes, I'd agree he was "too good" last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With the league being that bit stronger this year i couldn't see Lambert getting near his 4.78 average anyway.Even being at reserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
