bigcatdiary Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Or maybe a young speedway rider who wants to race his bike should be encourage to race as often as possible and get better at it all the time. Lambert is one of the most level headed youngsters around and as scb says just wants to race, got to be one of the favourites bearing in mind his current form. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sommelier Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Cant wait to see him hit the ground running in poland etc soon, wonder if he entering the GP qualifiers IMO mentally, physically, experience, he is a long way off even thinking about GP qualifiers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 I'd go for Howarth just for the fact he has had plenty of laps round Brandon. Olly Greenwood to get into the top 4 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 IMO mentally, physically, experience, he is a long way off even thinking about GP qualifiers How much experience did Emil have when he first rode in the GPs? And won one? I'm not saying Robert is near that yet but experience counts for nothing if you don't use it properly etc. If Robert decides to go down the route of the qualifiers and make it to the GPs then he's ready! I still think he's a few years of doing that anyway but I'd love to see him give it a go. Rather him than Nicholls, Kennett and King again!

BluPanther Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Such a shame that a rider could reel off five wins on the bounce, and still not be crowned champion. Semi's and finals have no place in a one off meeting imo. GP's are a different kettle of fish.. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Had a feeling Howarth's extra experience would tell in the end. Well done to him, Robert has four more goes to win it at least. What happened to Adam Ellis? Withdrew due to a family bereavement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieE Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Unlucky for Lambert after a maximum from his heats but congratulations to Howarth, very much deserved from what I saw of him with the Bees last year and how he's started this season. Hope this is just the start of bigger and better things for him and he can make the leap to become a fully fledged GB international rider. Certainly a rider not afraid to put it on the line and looked to grow in maturity on the bike as last season progressed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whippy Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 15 points and no one else on same score ?? Robert Lambert is the winner as far as I am concerned. I cannot understand why this stupid race off idea was ever started. You finish the meeting with the most points therefore in my eyes you are the champion. Rant over !!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you include the final they scored 17 apiece.if there is ti be a final i'd rather the points be added to the heat scores to determine the champ, with a tie being decided either by who finished higher in the final (in this case howarth would still be champ) or by a run off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two minute warning Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Congratulations to Kyle Howarth. Felt Robert Lambert was a tad unlucky but they are the rules of the competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semi's and finals have no place in a one off meeting imo. GP's are a different kettle of fish.. Agree. I hate the idea of a semi and final for a meeting like this when a rider can get five straight wins, but perhaps have a bad gate position in the final or get shoved out on the first bend and end up not being champion. However, after it was pointed out to me that it's Kyle's last chance whereas Robert has a few more years left I'm happy with the result. Well done to Kyle.

Howarth and Lambert both had 6 rides. Both had 5 wins and 1 second place. Â How is Lambert any more deserving? Â Well done to both of them. Two bright British prospects from what we've seen so far this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countershaftcounter Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I think last year Ellis also finished on the highest number of points but came 2nd overall, it happens. Shame he wasn't there last night, I think he's have been in with a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semi's and finals have no place in a one off meeting imo. GP's are a different kettle of fish.. Â My sentiments exactly.... Think of all the World Finals that could have gone to someone else, had they'd used this stupid idea...... It turns the whole occasion into a one race lottery..... Â By adding semi-final and finals to the proceeding, the only advantage being done is giving the riders, who have dropped points during the meeting, another bite of the cherry. Why do they deserve another chance????? when the correct winner can only lose out........ Â If you race against another rider often enough you 're bound to win eventually................ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Riders know the rules before the meeting starts and you can provide the argument you do enough to reach the semi/final without taking that extra risk you leave for the nitty gritty at the end? So Lambert scored 15 in the main event but didnt quite do enough in both stagings of the final..he will learn from that...not the first time thats happened and wont be the last....it's not as if Howarth stuggled through on 9 or 10 is it like certain past winners??! well done Kyle overdue but in the nick of 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
