Regarding Lindgren's Equipment - where are his best Bikes - Newcastle or Sweden? Silly thing to say, if I may say so. His bikes in Sweden will be tuned to suit Swedish tracks and his UK bikes tuned to suit the UK tracks. The hidden agenda from yourself to suggest he keeps his 'best bikes' (not that there is such a thing) in Sweden, is, to be honest, quite appalling, in my opinion.

mauger65 Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Lindgren (and Robson) are both on a hiding to nothing at numbers 1 and 5 and lindgren has to face the opposition top 2 in heat 13 as opposed to his counter-part and a reserve in heat 14 - so instead of getting 2-3 points in that heat he's getting 1-2 in heat 13 so his average is only going 1 way - and that's down lindgren also has the pressure of being the number 1 and set the tone for the team Yes - he is currently not riding to his potential Yes he is having bike problems and with all sports u need to be confident to perform at your best (LOOK AT 4 TIME WORLD CHAMPION LEWIS HAMILTON) - which lindgren clearly is not Lindgren looks like a rider under pressure and certainly doesn't look as though hes enjoying racing atm - imho I don't recall lindgren ever proclaiming he is a number 1 (hes a third heat leader with potential to be better) yet people are expecting him to ride and score like one As ive said I don't have a problem with the 7 riders riding for us - just not in the same team And lindgren is an enigma - v Sheffield - superb 3rd to 1st in heat 1 ........... then beaten by the opposition reserve in heat 6 !!! that's luddo but superbly entertaining around Brough when in form 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloom89 Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 The thing with Lindgren though if you take out heat 13 he still has to face the opposing heat leader 3 times during a meeting, it’s no different to riding at number 4 surely? He still has to face the same riders minus heat 14. Granted he is so inconsistent. Some of his away scores are disgraceful for someone who’s been around the tracks as long as he has.

And the idea that some bikes are better than others is reasonable isn't it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have lost count of the number of Premier League Riders alleged to have stated that they keep their best Bikes in Poland. They say that for a reason. There is more money to be made in Poland. I merely asked a question, I have no "hidden Agenda", my feelings about Lindgren are well known. I think he should be scoring better than he is away from Home. The only thing I will agree with is that he is not a Number One, we don't have one. Edited May 3, 2018 by The White Knight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we should have 2 to 8 and, they should re-print the programmes and other stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George said on Tuesday (interview with Roy Clarke for the Speedway Portal), they thought they had found someone to come in, but, whoever it was, decided they "didn't want to ride in the Championship," so we "may have to look at a foreign rider."
