Kings Lynn brought THJ in on loaned equipment, hung him out to dry riding him at #5. Yet he was still the most interesting rider to watch in their team when on TV after Shalegate. I thought he did enough to deserve another chance, especially starting at reserve. Edited January 11, 2018 by Col 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g13webb Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Riders like Kerr, Rose , Jorgensen, Lambert have all got something to give but when it comes to class, they don't come close to the standard THJ has achieved. If he wants to ride, and can acquire decent machinery, I think it would be a no-brainer to turn your back on him. Looking down into the pits from our high vantage point THJ helps more riders with his knowledge and enthusiasm then anyone else. If Brundle and Allitt can squeeze him in it would be an astute signing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waytogo28 Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 THJ not my cup of tea and feel that he will not improve much, even on his own equipment. Gino Manzares is much better bet IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he will be back, along with TJ, Lewis x 2, new Danish lad and Puk if the Poles get off their high horse. So just one question mark left in that case, lots of rumours about Mandates but that would mean a team considerably under the points limit. Perhaps that is what was meant by the team being picked by a 'wider criteria' this year? Would have liked THJ on that average but I get why he divides opinion, just think starting at reserve he would have been a definite improver. Must be his choice to just do Sweden & Poland, can't believe he hasn't had at least one UK offer. Edited January 11, 2018 by Bagpuss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With him you never knew what was going to happen. If he was behind you knew he could pass when he was in front you knew he could cock up! Entertaining! I get why people wouldn't like him. But those people shouldn't then moan about a lack of entertainment. Because he was very entertaining! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 They will have a plan B I'm sure, would probably be a solid team with a weak number one but there will be one. Better to be positive though and believe that Puk will sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g13webb Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 The Lambert article in this weeks Speedway Star indicates he has agreed to ride for the Stars this year only, but it also says he didn't want to , He wanted to go elsewhere but his hands were tied... It also said he would be riding old equipment because he needed additional sponsors to finance new machinery. As a Stars supporter, it wasn't good reading at all, he appears to be moaning about all and sundry, instead of being happy and looking forward to the new season. I read it as though he cant wait to leave.......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
