Can definitely see why he hasn't entered the U16's over here, makes more sense to race in Germany at a standard which will help him develop. Will be interesting to see whether he and his family choose to ride NL next year or carry on racing on the continent. Early signs are that he could have a massive impact on the PL in 2014, and there is sure to be a scramble for his signature.

Agree. People seem to think he should be a PL superstar because of his surname.

Lynn's dirt is fairly unique in that it has a high clay content and as a result can be very grippy.

It appears young Lambert finished second in this meeting and took the scalps of Smolinski, Zabik, Kroner and one or two others on the way. Pretty amazing performance

Really? More fool us then.

R Worrall & Howarth are getting good EL experience, would be good to see one or two others getting some top flight rides before the season is out too.

Excellent GP, and well done to Freddie. If you had told me at Lynn on Wednesday that he would win the next weekend's GP I'd have laughed as he looked a shadow of the rider we've become accustomed to. But fair play, he found the set up he needed and fully deserved the win in the end. Holder and Pedersen looked the two stand out riders early on but neither could deliver when it came to the crunch. Hopefully the overall standings can stay as close as they are right through to the final round, would be great to go into that GP with three or four in with a shout of winning the WC.

I'd like to think not.

Agree with all that Chris, the only thing I had a problem with was with the idea of planning to boo a young Brit at the next meeting. Anyway, line drawn under it all for me.

There are a few Dudley fans on here who seem hellbent on giving the others a bad name.

Joe Haines was quoted in the Speedway Star the week after he'd won at Wolves that he wouldn't be doing the World Qualifiers as he couldn't afford it and the help from the British authorities was more or less non existent. Its been pretty obvious since Rob Lyon left the Team GB set up that the BSPA / SCB can't / won't invest in the future of the British team and that any future SWC or GP success is likely to be a very long way off. At least Mr Worrall gives us something to enthuse over, hopefully Middlo will have the good sense to get him and one or two others involved in the SWC pits for experience.

Winning or losing at this level is irrelevant for me, as others have said its about seeing the lads develop

Amazing stuff from Richie Worrall Looking forward to seeing him on Wednesday week at Lynn.

IF he has 'cheated' then booing him at the time in the heat of the moment is fair enough, but to plan to do it again on Tuesday is a little unnecessary and not really what the NL should be about. I think sometimes people lose sight of the fact that its a competition for young lads to develop and make their way. And if he has 'cheated' then he's not the first and certainly won't be the last, and I'm sure more than one Cradley rider has done it at some point. If you beleive what you read some Dudley fans have given their club a negative reputation since their re-incarnation and comments like those on this thread don't really help. If that is representative of the Heathen's support then perhaps the club should go up to the PL and let the NL lads develop in a more positive and helpful environment.

Booing a young man trying to make his way in the sport, great idea

For me winning isn't really the be all and end all for the Young Stars but I have to say that I don't agree with those who have tipped Lynn as possible NL winners. Kerr and to a lesser extent Stokes & Lowe have improvement in them but the other four IMO have reached their level and that isn't what title winning sides are based on. The side lacks a bit of spark and as a punter doesn't really motivate me to go and watch, Kerr apart. That said I wish the lads luck for the remainder of the season and hope they prove me wrong.

Stoneman looked handy when I saw him at Lynn a fortnight ago but young Josh Bates looked an even better prospect.

Should be a comfy Heathens win looking at the teams but hopefully the Starlets can get stuck in and upset the applecart. Weather set fair so hopefully its a good evening's racing for those attending.

Lets hope that our lads are provided with some team suits to wear this time!

Anyway, Team GB U21 squad named for this meeting; Garrity Haines Hart Howarth Newman Perry Worrall R Worrall S To be trimmed down to five riders for the event http://www.speedwayg...hp?extend.15425

Personally I believe that Bridger has more ability on a motorcycle than any British rider around at present. However he often seems unable to think his way through four smooth laps of speedway and has a poor attitude which sadly means he's unlikely to ever amount to anything in the sport.

Forgot to add what a pleasure it was to meet up once again with the only bloke I know who wears gloves, a scarf, a big old fleece and SHORTS at a speedway meeting

Personally I didn't see an awful lot wrong with either incident involving Blackbird to be honest, and the lad certainly has something about him. Same can be said for Bates who looks a fine prospect, although he may benefit from not getting quite so close to back wheels when chasing them thought his move on Knight was a little wreckless but he's a young lad learning and can be excused. Thought the Young Stars looked very rusty and it was a thoroughly deserved win for Mildy who had far more spark about them throughout the match. Adam Lowe was the one shining light for Lynn before his tumble. Kerr very unlucky in his last two after dreadful gates in his first couple of heats. One thing that struck me last night was the lack of meetings that riders like he and Joe Jacobs will be getting this year.....they are arguably the two brightest hopes for the two clubs and they should be getting loads of rides to aid their development, they need to be racing two or three times a week to help them progress. What a shame there aren't more clubs in the NL to provide everyone with extra track time.

I think Rob's qualities are more on the mental side of a rider's approach, he is proven at getting the best out of riders in his role at Lynn and I guess Kenneth was impressed enough during their year together at Lynn to want him in his GP corner this season. That said I don't think Bjerre has it in him to be any better than 7th or 8th in the world so I can't see it making too much difference personally. I'm more concerned with the experience helping Rob in his job at Lynn.

If you're gonna take the Michael, get your facts straight
