Lawson's presence inspires the rest of the Workington team, He is the leader of the Workington side and Cook is not going to help the likes of Aarnio and Howarth as he is just a guest.
Cook may score more points but Rich would help the other riders score more points.
Rather watch riders like Lindgren,Holder,Ward,Kasprazak than Barker,Doyle and Craig Cook as Number 1's
and it's the same price which is funny as EL riders are on much more than PL riders.
Fair enough, Rich surprised me... He's always good in Heat 2 but his other rides were more impressive and he nearly beat Niels.
His gating has always been top class.
Don't agree with the opening statement, Went to Leicester and watched Lasse Bjerre's pass on Palm Toft and that was as good as anything you saw in the GP last saturday.
What a silly bet, Richard Lawson's last 3 heat 2's vs Kings Lynn.
29th March 2012 at Peterborough: Jepsen Jensen and Richard Lawson 5-1
29th March 2012 at Kings Lynn: Jepsen Jensen and Richard Lawson 5-1
23rd August 2012 at Peterborough: Kosciuch and Richard Lawson 5-1
and now 23rd April 2013 at Lakeside: Mear and Lawson 5-1
I remember when Kozza was guesting for the Panthers at Lynn once and he kept shutting off on the last lap to allow Lynn riders to pass, That's how much a dedicated Lynn fan he was.
Feel sorry for Richard Lawson, He is going to get out classed by Richie Worrall tomorrow and Lakeside fans are going to moan at him and Jon Cook.
Lawson's terrible around Lakeside, No idea why he was signed; He is dynamite around the Showground but poor everywhere else.
Great signing for Lynn, But not as bad a deal on paper for BV..they got a hefty loan fee.
Lynn look real strong now..Worrall's the steal of the season bar Dakota.
This reminds me of when people were angry that Niels got the wild-card ahead of MJJ and then MJJ went on and won it.
BUT: Woffinden has been fantastic but it's only been 2 rounds, Bjerre was a world champion in the making after a couple of rounds a couple of years ago but then fell away, What happens when the bikes are not as fast is going to be key for Tai as that's when the likes of Nicki sneak through into the semi's and keep the points ticking over.
But the initial signs are very good and It can only help British speedway if we have a competitive rider in the GP's
