Can Dickie the Gater do it 6 or if required 7 times on the night.

It's a No from me

And here was me thinking that all rider's are gaters only way to get off the start line after all some are just better at it than others.

I have seen a helluva lot of Lawson at Sheffield over the last three seasons, (lots of Guest booking for Sheffield, and riding for Glasgow and Redcar).

 

The one thing that is consistent about him every time is on certain gate positions you know what will happen he misses the gate and where ever is from the gate that is where he will finish, and usually that is stone cold last.

 

Unlike the likes of Cook or Kurtz, who if they don't make the gate are more than capable of passing riders in front of them at Sheffield.

 

Sorry your man Lawson may win a battle or two but he won't win the war.

No doubting he's a great gater and we all know with that advantage you should do well, but he can't out gate his peers all the time and even when he does they have a good chance of reeling him in as they have more racing ability.

It's my opinion you may not like it but if you put RL vs BK or CK on any track in the world I know who my money would be on to win a best of 3 Golden Helmet type matchrace

We'll have to see at the plrc what happens brady kurtz is probably favourite but cookie will have a superb chance too. I wouldn't rite off richard though and he shouldn't be criticised for being a successful gater there is more to him than that. Hes clever in first two bends and I'd love for him to gate 6/7 times and win the trophy if its a gaters track then he must be favoutite. Its too hard to say nobody can overlook masters he's a joy to watch around sheffield.

The problem with Sheffield is, far to often, it's Red, Blue, White, Yellow ( when riders are of equal ability) until the track settles, which can take a few races, then just before the Semi's they do a big track grade and it returns to Red, Blue, White, Yellow again. Having the inside gate can be a big advantage.

That is good point,as with the Gp's you see the same pattern on a lot of tracks too much track grading these days.Imo
