If the fixture had been announced in March then i could see it being a problem but for me let him rest... Should be a good meeting , I suspect the Aussies will be Doyle, Holder, Fricke, Holder, Kurtz & Grajczonek So you're asked if you'd "like to" represent your nation, the World Champion will be there, even bloody Tai is riding for us (God Bless Him) and you pull not even with a sicky but to have a rest? Not on in my view. I was considering a near 12 hour round trip drive to see this very special meeting. It makes you think twice. I'll say more.... This is a very special meeting, designed, in part, to capture the public's imagination. Those of us who remember test matches of old know precisely what I mean. For the newer fans, don't you want to beat those Aussies? I for one, don't want to be playing the "What if" card if we lose. We don't want to leave anything out there do we? This is historic.

I have been “lambertlasted” by mostly Kings Lynn fans for having the temerity to say Lambert should cancel his “holiday” to ride in the meeting. To cry off as tired is feeble in the extreme, especially for a kidof his age. Very poor imo. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously feel far more strongly over this matter than I do which is why Im less inclined to defend a position Ultimately there are far more important things to get worked up about than 1 rider missing a hastily arranged friendly, even one tagged as a test match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't see Max or Craig or anyone else in the pits on Saturday treating this as a friendly. If you've degraded this meeting to that level in your mind, you've missed the point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly if the riders named wont get people to attend I don't think the addition of Robert lambert would make a difference. However I do think your a bit harsh suggesting this is a hastily arranged friendly. Some thought has gone into this . fans have said they want weekend meetings so they can travel, not miss work or whatever - tick. don't want there riders to miss a league match cos they are representing there country - no Premiership or Championship meetings on Saturday, so tick; want to see riders ride in the UK who currently only race abroad - Tai and Chris, so tick; want to get back home at a reasonable time -3pm start, so tick; want to see proper test matches - tick. so to sum up the Glasgow promoters, the GB and Aussie management have done a brilliant job to get this meeting on, so get your tick(ets) while you can! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya stupid Pom -- we don't do friendlies against your lot. Never have, never will. This is a Test Match, long overdue -- and Australia are going to humiliate England, just like always. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So don't make it about clubs and allegiances. It's more about common sense and seeing the bigger picture, and considering and discussing the circumstances rather than just seeing things in black and white. The lad has been riding four or more times a week almost all season, more experienced riders than he have suffered burn out at this stage of the year and some have even opted out of the SWC to prevent it happening. I expect this was his only window to have a short battery recharge hence why a holiday was booked probably weeks and weeks ago. As I have said all along it is disappointing and less than ideal that he won't be there but understandable. And the positive is that somebody else gets an opportunity to show what they can do. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems quite likely to happen. How hard would Schlein try if riding for GB against Australia? With no Doyle and no Lambert ( for various reasons ) it looks more and more like a Championship lineup. Issue the teams , as known today please. We know that riders can be injured at any time so why do we not know of the "squad" members?

The website has info on the full gb team and rossiters thoughts. It also gives the name of the first 4 Aus riders Chris Holder, Fricke and Brady kurtz and Doyle subject to a fitness test. You can also look at the Facebook site. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very naughty Glasgow... I`m not sure that Glasgow are being deliberately untruthful- This 14 days is purely because Torun used R/R(Z/Z) last Sunday for him and their rule(Poland) is that the rider has to be going to be out for 14 days from when the injury occurred for R/R to be sanctioned. If Mark Lemon hasn`t told them yet then they won`t know. Edited August 1, 2018 by racers and royals 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
