I was at the match (as a neutral) and there was nothing wrong with the track as Doyle proved by overtaking Lawson from a long way back. This is just sour grapes as he was outclassed by Doyle and Sayfutdinov. I say go back to Poland and stop moaning and be grateful you are officially the world number 6 because in real terms you aint in the top ten of world riders. Finally, what is the point of have a transfer deadline when Sheffield have effectively signed Lambert. In the old days you could not guest constantly for one team I guess this is another rule lost because of rider shortage. Todays rant over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blue witch 46 Posted October 4, 2023 Always hard to get passing on a track like Foxhall when you have Emil and Jason who are so good around there. If they gate they're gone as they're usually so much quicker than anyone else. Even Danny when he's on song not many people would beat him. Didn't emil and jason both pass people to get a win as well in a couple of heats? Hume a reserve I saw pass a few riders (he binned it after) but still passed riders. Like someone else said with Britain every track is different which brings in the home advantage. How boring would it be if every track is like NSS. Get 1/2 good heats a meeting so not worth it. Have to say there's been a lot more passing at Foxhall this season than people who see the odd meeting on tv know about. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doyle isn't dirty, but he verges on the edge of it, he didn't leave Lambert any room and knew full well he was there, not a problem with it but a lesser skilfull rider would of been through the fence. Speedway needs entertainment, rightly or wrongly people are talking about last nights meeting, which is the rarity for speedway nowadays! A lesser rider would not have been in the fence he would have been nowhere near Doyle. Why should Doyle leave him any room? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why should Doyle leave him any room? it was during the second bend so every chance another rider could of been there, using Hume as an example out gated Doyle in a earlier race!...im not saying he should of left room - merely saying that there was never going to be room to go round the outside of him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m looking forward some super close fast racing with passing galore on a excellently prepared Sheffield track, I just hope it’s not a super slick gaters paradise! I'm hoping for Ipswich making the starts and staying there, with passing only when they don't make the start Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think so, he sits on the seat too much going in, making him more susceptible to grip changes in the bends, very difficult to guide this out of someone. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

topaz325 1,859 Posted October 4, 2023 4 hours ago, Aries said: So you “accept the weather has a lot to do with track conditions” but then criticise the track anyway? What do you expect them to do? In an ideal world they’d have moved the fixture further than 24 hours to prepare something better after torrential rain but that was taken out of their hands. You say “there’s no excuse for a bad track”, well I’m sorry but there is and it’s a damn good one! You’ve completely contradicted yourself. On one hand you’re saying there’s no excuse for a bad track and in the same breath saying you accept the weather dictated that Not quite my words , just saying a lot of riders could not get on with the conditions while some could. Thanks any way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheWellBehavedWorrall 289 Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) I joined this forum quite liking Robert Lambert, but have been influenced to dislike him. Is he just an ar*ehole? People who put on Polish accents while being interviewed in Poland tend to be ar*eholes. Edited October 4, 2023 by TheWellBehavedWorrall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
