Midland Red Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Zach Wajtknecht is my bet for a future World Champion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I don't think there are any young riders. When the old guys like Greg, AJ and Nicki retire the sport will be pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnieg Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 An equivalent list drawn up nine years ago might have looked like: Karol Zabik Pawel Hlib Nikolai Klindt Lewis Bridger Morten Risager as well as Freddie Lindgren Chris Holder Emil Sayfutdinov Thomas H Jonasson Troy Batchelor only with hindsight can we say which was the best list! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trees Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Still to see Zach race, will catch him somewhere before the season is out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple.H. Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Brady Kurtz is the standout in that list IMO closely followed by Robert Lambert. Seems a lot of young Poles get too much pressure placed on them too soon and not all can take the mental strain. BK being Australian will no doubt be fairly laidback and can gate,chase down and pass and is exceptionally fast and smooth for his age. Look at the Expectation put on young Lamberts shoulders just by users of this forum. Many great white hopes of British speedway have suffered this expectation before you can read about them in the where are they now archive. Look at Cookie just based on this forum he's the biggest thing since powdered milk one day and the devil himself the next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Still to see Zach race, will catch him somewhere before the season is out He'll be at your place on 8th July. You can have a second bite of the cherry 3 weeks later when Kings Lynn Young Stars visit Tom Perry Barr. The future is looking bright on the GP scene, my five for the future not original i know but what do other people think.?1.Pawlicki Jnr, 2.Pawlicki snr 3. lambert, 4. B.Kurtz 5.Smarzlik. Two long shots Fricke and Pawel Przedpelski. Any thoughts.? would you put money on any of them.? Let's throw 5 other names into the ring - Magic Janowski, Szymon Wozniak, Patryk Dudek, MJJ (I hope his fan club isn't looking), Oliver Berntzon, Aleksandr Łoktajew,??? I'm not saying that these will be the top 5 prospects, as I agree that Bartosz Zmarzlik, the Pawlicki Bros and Pawel Przedpelski (how come you can spell Pawel Przedpelski so well but failed so miserably with Bartosz Zmarzlik??? lol ) will all be in the mix as well...time will tell. It's a funny old game Saint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a funny old game Saint! Janowski and MMJ are already in the series........... Janowski, Kurtz, Zmarzlik and both Pawlicki brothers (if they can stay away from injury) along with Vaclav Milik have great futures............can also see Fricke and Lambert in the mix............. I think Janowski will be World Champion before any of the others though............ RP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coventry1963 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Having watched speedway for many years any of the names are possible. Only time will tell whether they get, firstly, a pretty much injury-free run and, secondly, whether they get carried away by their own publicity. Injuries can sap the confidence of even the best of potential riders and once over-confidence creeps in, riders have a tendency to stop learning from those around. As has been said, it is only with that most of exact of sciences, hindsight, will we know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruiser McHuge Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 You'd have to say all 5 of the riders named should have a good chance of being GP regulars...certainly Kurtz, Lambert, Pawlicki jr and Zmarzlik.....Not 100% sure about Pawlicki sr but he's still got a decent shout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope he qualifies for the series soon i actually rate him higher than Zmarzlik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
