King's Lynn Stars 2017

All this hype about Lambert I just can't see it, overrated at best.

There is no other Brits to get excited about though! I you think he is overrated doesn't say much about the rest.!

[Bagpuss]

Cant see Lambert being any better than Harris. His gating is atrocious and you can't give top fivers a couple of bikes lead by the first bend and expect to get it back.

Are you talking about Lambert or Harris?

 

Robert is only eighteen and only going one way. Bomber's best days are behind him. No brainer which one is better value. That said agree with everyone who has pointed out his gating, until he sorts that he will find things extremely difficult. Hopefully one day soon it will click.

Bronze in the U21, um & who did he beat in run off!

Quite right. 2 years younger, already heat leader in the Premiership & a superb racer - can't believe how some people put him down

[Steve Shovlar]

Nobody is putting him down but to say he is the next best thing is ridiculous. The story might be different if he could gate.

 

Does anyone think he can compete with Dudek, Holder, Helium etc in a couple of years time?

[Bagpuss]

Two years is a long time and a lot of speedway meetings, it's quite possible. He'll still only be twenty so even then younger than the riders you mention are now. I don't think people fully appreciate just how much ability he has at such a young age. He is years off his probable peak.

[ond]

Its a wonder we have any British riders coming through when one of the best prospects of the speedway world is slated like this..... you lot are all half empty people and should be ashamed of yourselves!!!!!!!!!!

 

An 18 year old at heat leader in his first season of elite league.... 3rd in the world U21 ... 3rd in Britain.... Team GB rider........... and you guys knock him!!!!!!!

 

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

 

By the way , check out the video below..... Gating a world class rider and passing two other wold class riders....

 

If the fastest riders gated first every time....... speedway would be boring!!!!

Have no worries, we'll always back him at Lynn whatever happens, as long as he's enjoying his career that really is the main thing. He's a talented racer and I love watching him 😊

Why get hung up on who's better than who, just so u can say told ya so? nah!

Dudek is 24. In two years time Lambert will still only be 20. Lambert is younger than Holder but has a higher average so I have every expectation that he can compete with Holder in the future.

 

Apart from maaksym drabik I can't think of a better rider aged 19 or under at the moment .

 

FWIW I'd rank the best Under 19s as;

 

1 Robert Lambert

2 Maksym Drabik

3 Brady Kurtz

4 Jack Holder

5 Bartosz Smektala

6 Dmitri Berge

7 Max Ruml

[SCB]

I think some people often forget how young Robert Lambert is. Myself included. His gating at times is terrible for a rider of his level but I bet compared to every other 19 year old in the World he's still top 3 gaters.

At last I read a post that recognises the serious talent that Lambert is

[stevebrum]

All the talk about Holder at NO1, me thinks Lambert could push him hard for the NO1 jacket if he carries improving like he has over the last 3 years. ENGLISH pride!

Well said. He would be first name down year after year for any team I supported.

Pure joy to watch and what a talent, and BRITISH!!

You only have to look at his World U21 final results to see he is good enough to be classed as potentially world class.

His improvement has been excellent season on season too.

If you think Lambert is overrated I wouldn't like to think what your opinion on the other young Brits.He is talent IMO .

More like he's the only chance we have. The new Premiership format basically guarantees that new British riders will never get the chance to excel at international level.

You've got to be kidding right? When we start saying riders like James Shanes are the future of British Speedway, we're accepting that the future of British speedway is very bleak!
