Lambert was constantly carrying an injury or other in 2019 hence his modest current average, in 2018 he scored paid 14 and paid 15 at Wolves so he can get round there fine. However four years away from such a specialist track is a long time, don't necessarily see him scoring big there tonight.
The issue for me is the fixtures and British speedway's inability to get fixtures done in a timely fashion. Oxford should never have had to ride a home fixture on a Sunday in mid September. It wasn't that long ago we were bemoaning the lack of British riders in Polish leagues, we can't now complain that they are missing our fixtures to be there when we can't get our own act together.
Don't think we've seen an explanation as to why this meeting was arranged for today when Bailey and Riss were never available.
Agree about the SoN2 but if he ever has any ambition of being a regular in Poland then he had to be there today, I expect he would have been made to be there by the FIM anyway if there had been a dispute as Poland have priority on Sundays.
No idea why anyone would laugh at that, seems like a balanced opinion.
He's struggled a little over the last couple of matches, hope he can score a few more points in his remaining meetings.
That's fair enough and clearly a factor but you'd still expect one of the top half a dozen riders in the world to score more than five. He had a modest score in Sweden on Tuesday too, it's pretty clear where his priorities lie this week.
