I feel vindicated now - when he rode for Newcastle at Sheffield in about 2015 or 16 - he rode well but failed to beat Garrity who scored a max that night how there careers have diverged! I don’t think the locals i spoke with agreed with me that Lambert would be the better! 
 

congrats anyway - a British WC has to be celebrated - sadly both our last two haven’t always been entirely 💯 committed to the UK scene which maybe has a message for us all!

Doesn't Robert have a Polish wife ?

Why should she live in the UK, or do you expect them to live in different countries?

This is the thing so many people fail to realise.

They are also expecting their first child so the idea that he'll ditch Sweden for the UK next year is probably wide of the mark.

Bit of a concerning showing there from Bewley. Obviously put in a great few laps riding solo, but like the GP a few weeks ago, looked very tentative in an actual race and dropped off alarmingly as the race wore on.

Doesn’t look ready to me and showing all the signs of coming back too soon but let’s see what tonight brings. Fingers crossed he rams those words back down my throat. 

Dan as had 2 bad smashes in his career involving his legs, would imagine both could have potentially halted his career. So he comes back for the last 2 GPS.....where racing is at the very top level, probably just to test his level of fitness, plus get his mind-set focused onto what speed is needed. Good stepping stones, he used good judgement. I'm pretty certain last thing on his mind was to win a GP this year in these 2 meetings. I reckon he will be well pleaded getting a LCQ spot.   Next year, if Dan wants to be world champ, what he has to do is what Lambert has done this year.....grab the challenge and take his skills to a higher level.  Robert did some very daring moves in these last half dozen GPs....very similar to what Zmarzlik has been doing over his winnings career. That's where Dan has to go, into opportunities and open them up. Puts the wind up me just thinking how brave these top level riders are, but I'm not the one who wants to be world champ, and only one of them per year can be. I hope Dan does it.

The Polish media can be pretty unreliable (just like here and everywhere I suppose!) but there was a Polish article a few weeks back naming both Zmarzlik and Lambert amongst others who will be ditching Sweden next year out of protest over tyres. No  idea if there’s even a grain of truth in that but something to keep an eye on perhaps.

Who said about him needing to move to England to ride in British speedway? They have things called planes which everyone else uses to get from country to country without moving home.

oh and just one other thing, I say this as a proud Brit we need to change our national anthem, it’s dull and sounds like there is someone with a handle winding it up to speed and as for the subject matter well that’s another story, times have changed the country has changed its time for a rethink 

Good point well made. It annoys me when people get criticism for not singing along, you can be proud to be British without being a fan of the Royal family.

I prefer Flower of Scotland, the national anthem (English) is like a funeral dirge .
