Lambert is looking the real deal this year. I assume people have stopped saying Bewley is the same level now tho.

Aah thanks, hadn’t seen that. Well that clears it up!

Any thoughts on who the rider who might not be back this year according to the recent update? Nicki P still on board as I’d assumed it would be him.

Nasty crash and Lambert had done all the hard work. Looks dreadful. I’d assume Lambert excluded?

Has Turowski learned his skills from Nicki? He is like a kamikaze pilot. dreadful team riding from Milik and Woryna.

Lambert is looking super quick this year. Not many keep Laguta honest when he gets away.

Think it’s now been made invisible to Facebook so that they don’t get swamped with invites. You may need to get added by a Facebook member now who already is a member. plus you need to be a friend of that person. im watching it on the group page now.

But that’s surely his and Artem’s choice. They weren’t forced I’m sure.

Is Zmarzlik still testing? Looks slow.

Huge learning curve for the lad but it will help if people stop presuming he will be GP standard within 2 years (as previously discussed from discussions on social media) and let him grow naturally with no added pressures. Lambert is miles ahead of Bewley all over. Not sure why anyone feels a need to compare them. There is no comparison right now. Or should be.

Don’t get me wrong. My response is to pretty much anyone that thinks Bewley is already the better prospect which I’m seeing a lot on social media even after his dismal showing on Friday. It’s more a reality check that some say he will be in the GPS before Robert. I couldn’t be any more happier we have riders in Poland which can only be a great thing for our future. Obviously Robert has more experience, he is older! but both still have a mass of growth in them so we should be applauding both. And I definitely fall into that category to be clear.

Great to see, while Bewley struggled to score a single point on Friday. With some one Facebook saying Bewley will be better than Lambert. Time will tell. Great to see England’s next great hope starting so well.

But are free to watch on Facebook on ‘continental speedway’ page on reliable and ad free links. It’s well worth joining the page for the links alone.

Sadly so do I.

Nothing ‘blinkered’ at all. Asking riders to quarantine before they ride is perfectly fine. No issue with that. Asking riders to sign contracts (as mentioned by some of the riders) that say they CANNOT ride in any other country is the kind of thing we have become used to by the Polish Authorities. If this is allowed to happen then this action could see the closure of some teams in other countries. That cannot be allowed to happen. Id imagine if any rider challenged the contract the authorities would be laughed out of court. Now for the reality check. We know other countries have yet to get a start date so technically have no hold over any riders. That said each governing body has the absolute right to expect their own riders to stay loyal to their respective nations clubs. You can’t blame them, as they doing precisely what the Poles are doing. So if it’s good for then it’s good for other nations. There is this assumed idea that no other nation will get to see Speedway this year so Poland should be allowed to do what they want. Really? I’ve seen mentioned that this 2nd wave of infections will put paid to any action in the UK. If this is assumed are we then assuming Poland would be immune because they are a Speedway super power? I think not. You cannot blame the riders for going to Poland to earn a living, I certainly don’t. Riders should be free to choose if they want to ride elsewhere if and when it’s safe to do so and hopefully the riders will do just that when the time comes.

The UK will be in the same situation as Sweden who must be in an even worse situation as they have lots of Poles usually filling their team spots.

Ooops updated. Also to include Kurtz and Lidsey who are confirmed for ZG.

That’s not what some of the riders are saying and why the various federations aren’t happy. Lambert already stated in this weeks SS that he is expected to stay in Poland for the season.

They will have to challenge the Polish contracts first tho surely? They are signing to say they won’t ride in any other leagues?

Whatever time it starts we know that Doyle, !ambert, Kurtz, Lidsey Bewley, Batchelor, Pedersen, won’t be available to the UK for 2020 unless there ridiculous Polish contracts can be challenged.

ive tried to stay quiet for too long now.

“transparent public explanation”.

Sorry for quoting your post RAR it’s just the numbers I’m having an issue with. For the 4th time in 7 days people I know have lost someone, however have had NO known symptoms yet all 3 have had Covid19 on their death certificate. What I’m starting to understand that ALL deaths seems to be attributed to Covid19. im sure those 4 people and their families aren’t the only ones questioning those false diagnosis's.

The facts remain however that a lot of the symptoms are ‘flu like’. In fact I’ve read comments from those who have had it and recovered (non hospital admission) as being like a really bad flu. What we are yet to see is how the virus responds once dormant and people start to return to some sort of normality. I know only too well from my experience as a nurse when a serious flu bug goes around that I’ve been exposed to it several times and sufferered accordingly. When I say flu bug I of course mean virus. I don’t think even from the off that anyone underestimated how bad this virus was given what we knew of it already.
