foamfence Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Good luck to both Brits tonight, it would be even more fantastic if we can have three or even four in the finals, just shows how good our young riders really are.

screm Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Bates joins Ellis in the finals  And you would hope we will have at least Robert Lambert into the final to after tonight's meeting at Belle Vue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 6:15pm, and we just had a very heavy downfall, and we just 30 miles west of BV and it usually heads that way - hope not this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waiheke1 Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Lambert Kurtz and przedpelski for the wc? Though will they want a swede in the line up? Or piecszek ahead of prez, as he would surely have qualified but for a 2cmin exclusion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrasstrack Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 My money is on Lambert, Pieszczek and Andersson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countershaftcounter Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Why Lambert ? he wasn't good enough tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin man 76 Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 If they pick on reputation, Robert Lambert may well get a pick. However, with two Brits already in the final line-up and Lambert's SGP Qualifier Wild-Card, they may choose to look elsewhere. If they go merely on scores from the Belle Vue round, I think it would only be fair to give Nike Lunna a chance over the likes of Brady Kurtz. After all, Lunna outscored Kurtz and there is already Australian representation in the final line-up. On the other hand, Lunna was the only Finn in the qualifiers and did finish equal fifth tonight; plus it would add a little more diversity to the final line-up. As regards Swedish representation, none of the Swedish riders covered themselves in glory in the qualifiers. In fact, it is debatable whether Sweden have ever had a worse selection of U21 riders.

Dawkins20 Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Why Lambert ? he wasn't good enough tonight. Â Already two Brits in the finals, anyway imo its gonna be either Drabik or Fricke who wins it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Seems all the hype we had on Lambert a couple of years ago is evaporating at a speed of knots. Â Now and again I hear stories about how wonderful he is and how he is the next Loram. Stories of coming from the back at Leicester a few weeks ago to grab a point for his club. Some Kings Lynn fans on here were stating he would be their number one by the end of this season. Â Then it comes to tonight and hes out of the u21, in a field he should have come through. Â Will he get a wildcard? Does he deserve one? I hope the lad developes into a useful rider and can challenge to represent teamGB regularly, but I have yet to see anything to tell me he will good enough to become a top rider. Â There were other casualties as well. Kurtz and Predpelski. Both should have made it through. No good blaming the rain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnieg Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 And yet Robert Lambert is still the world's second best rider in the under 19 age group - only Maxim Drabik is better. Â (I'd rank Kurtz, Smektala and Holder next). Â Hardly the record of a failure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 How many wild cards can a person get? Â Why bother making him enter and then get changed and even have to ride a few races. Â Just give a pass to the finals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 jesus christ, they only had 12 heats anything could have happened if they ran the next 8. Â When they don't run the meeting proper loads of factors come into the mix, gate positions, who they were up against, how the track changes etc .... so unfair, cheapskate FIM! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
