Robert made his debut last Sunday and it was very successful. Robert scored a maximum points, and his team won against Poznan 58:32. The English rider is very happy with his result, especially when one takes into consideration that before the season he practiced in Lublin only for two days. - For the Lublin trtack I have prepared one special engine - confessed Lambert on SportoweFakty.pl - which has proved to me its value.

Coach Darek Sledz is a great man, and the whole team helped me to set in. At first they were a bit shy, but then everything went as it should. Also the fans warmly greeted me and I would like to thank them for that. I am very happy, " concluded Robert Lambert.
