PaulS Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Robert is an exceptional talent and is the future of British Speedway (along with Woffy) and we are all lucky to have him. It was memorable seeing him in action at Brough Park earlier this season, throwing his bike all over the place in his first race, I was literally shaking after the Diamonds held him off for a 5-1 - after which he later proceeded to rack up some 1st places. I expect Peterborough fans will back him to the hilt when he turns out for Team GB, but it's nonetheless understandable to be frustrated when your star rider is in reality only ever putting in the odd appearance here and there. Perhaps supporters of other teams should keep in mind that they can at least expect their heat leaders to put in lots of appearances, whereas Peterborough fans have not had that. However, RL is only 17, his potential seems to have no limit, and him and Woffy could give us the foundations to build a WC-winning team around. If that happened, who knows how far that would take British Speedway out of its current crisis and bring in more sponsors and investors...? One way for Peterborough fans to look at RL is that he may very soon help to inject money into our sport, helping to keep their club going along with many others...

HadrianDog Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 He's more than welcome at Rye House next year I suspect that few fans who have seen him live would turn up their nose at the chance of seeing him as a home rider for a season, cert. not me. But for those BSPA rule benders {sorry guardians of the sport?} We would have had him at Brough in 2014. But hey, the rules must come become furthering the career of the next Woffy or surely the World, as we know it would end. Well probably, at least, anyway!
