Steve Shovlar Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) Lambert really has done well this season and come on well after a not so great 2017. He just needs to continue his improvement, especially his gating. Certainly has the speed and passing ability. Would like to see him get a wild card for the GPs next season as the second Brit.

Expand It's a World Championship, not a Polish one. Although with four riders and three rounds you might sometimes wonder. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Can't help thinking if the top 3 in the u21s replaced the top 3 in the gp challenge it would be for the better. They may struggle at times but they don't seem to care for reputations 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 I think he would benefit from another years experience before being in the gp's in 2020. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget we've seen lots of names over the years fail to realise their true potential. Whether that be through lack of ambition or lack of opportunity. Well done Lambo!
