Skornicki will be fine and he'll score plenty of points.
-
I wouldn't be too offended by the guff that Starman comes out with, his posts can be put down to a severe lack of intelligence rather than anything else.
-
Good on you for not toeing the party propaganda line.
-
Agreed, it's also fairly unique in how it rides and how the bike needs to be set up for it so I'm told. The point is Lambert has struggled there having had a handful of visits while far more experienced riders still do after years and years of meetings at Poole.
-
Absolutely. I can remember the likes of Adrian Stevens, Roger Horspool, Darren Spicer, Emerson Fairweather and Robert Ledwith at Lynn.
-
Plenty of away riders struggle to score points at Wimborne Road for whatever reason.

Does British Speedway Have Future?

Better live IMO. The smell and the noise all add to the experience. -
I'm not convinced by Klindt full stop. Anyway, can't believe this Holder stuff is still rumbling on. KK frees up points elsewhere on what is a tight points limit. Whether he will do the job Holder would have done remains to be seen but it's totally logical why that choice was made.
-
Fair enough. Even better!
-
Lynn have 2.84 left. Not hard for Col to find on this forum if he looked. Schlein and Bjerre would have been 0.02 over with those other five.
-
I don't rate Greaves at all but he is more experienced than other number sevens and should score points. Play Off certainties and could well finish top of the pile.
-
Schlein had a big fall out with the promoter and probably won't race for the club again. As for Holder's unachievable average, it's for teambuilding purposes only. Teams won't be building to fifty in respect of any mid season changes.
-
Two years is a long time and a lot of speedway meetings, it's quite possible. He'll still only be twenty so even then younger than the riders you mention are now. I don't think people fully appreciate just how much ability he has at such a young age. He is years off his probable peak.
-
Are you talking about Lambert or Harris? Robert is only eighteen and only going one way. Bomber's best days are behind him. No brainer which one is better value. That said agree with everyone who has pointed out his gating, until he sorts that he will find things extremely difficult. Hopefully one day soon it will click.
-
I think Davey's career results are due to a lack of ability rather than his injuries. He'll do a job at number seven but can't see him improving too much.
-
Agree, he'll improve once again but not by enough to challenge Holder this year. He'll probably get to that level one day but not just yet. I certainly wouldn't swap him for anyone else on his average.
-
Even though the racing has diminished in recent years for whatever reason Lynn has been smooth and consistent 99% of the time and Holder's scores have always been good there. A bit more dirt round the outside and I'm sure riders and fans alike will be happy.
-
Exactly. There appears to be no law broken here and with the potential earnings on offer Poland can put enormous pressure on riders.
-
It's been said that Somerset wanted Kildermand but this rule prevented it. Unfortunately Poland have all the power, not a lot the riders can do in the short term. They can't risk losing that income.
-
If Puk isn't obliged to ride in Denmark then fair enough. Wouldn't expect him to drop his home league in favour of the UK though.
-
We have just over three points left and Lambert averages just over five so ain't going to happen. Looking at what else is around we may as well go with Josh.
-
But harsh as he has to ride in Denmark and the other two big leagues pay more and only run once a week. A complete no brainer for him really. Sounds like he would have done all four but for those lovely Poles.

I blame the yanks. -
I think you've named the top four there unless Leicester or Belle Vue declare something remarkable when they name their sides.
-
Perhaps the number seven delay is to allow Josh to prove his fitness. Would have him over Davey every day if the week and probably anyone else seeing as the young Brum lads will be tied up on Wednesdays. Perhaps Williamson if he fits.
