Finally a bit of sense, unless there is a huge change I cant see Robert Lambert racing here next season, I mean why would he.

If there is a huge change I.e 1 diluted league then why would he. If it’s the current 3 league structure I see it more likely for the likes of him iversen Doyle and the odd other (not many) wanting to ride over here. 

 

If he gets too busy drop Denmark 1st, Germany 2nd. They are the weakest leagues. Then he will have 3 leagues plus individuals. Putting Denmark and Germany before Britain is a bit far. . . For now

Has Polish Ekstraliga dropped its three league ruling, with Robert Lambert already signed in Sweden and Poland, he can only choose the UK or Germany as his home league if the rule is still in place.

That was dropped due to priority given to each different leagues race nights.

Hence why Iversen did Sweden, Denmark, UK and Poland.

There's absolutely no chance of Lambert giving up on the Danish league as that has way better quality rider's than British Speedway.

Even the German league is of similar standard, if not slightly better than the UK.

Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, UK is probably the World Speedway order in terms of top league standards.

With how poorly fixtures are planned here with huge gaps in the calendar and then forced double headers, it makes no sense in Robert continuing with British Speedway at all.

Is standard of racing all that is important, what riders can earn & how convenient it is, will probably play as large part.

Not 100% sure but as someone said previously that was sorted with fixed race night`s agreements ie NKI rode Poland, Sweden.UK and Denmark. Polish priority is Friday,Saturday and Sunday

OK but it seems to be that fixed race nights in UK is not working and is causing some clubs a drop in attendance and financial problems, so do not know where GB goes from here unless the top level drops and GB becomes a feeder for the likes of Poland, Sweden and Denmark and the GP series.

You can add Germany to that list according to a previous poster

I would imagine that the ISL(international speedway league) committee will meet and confirm that Poland again have Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Sweden will have Tuesday`s(and a couple of Wednesday`s). Denmark Wednesday`s(and some Friday`s) and GB will have by elimination  Monday`s and Thursday`s. Obviously this is only priority so GB could run on any night but only have priority on Monday`s and Thursday`s.

If that is what is agreed, then it needs to adhered to by our top tier clubs.  Any clubs wishing to hold meetings on a Thursday (I am thinking Ipswich & Sheffield) either ride in the top tier or change their race night.

But the mon and thurs was decided on last year but  we changed to mon and wed, which caused problems

Or if they want to ride on a thurs the top league has priority with DU riders

He he lives in Germany with his girlfriend on spare days so Germany is where he started also plus a few bigger names are now riding there and he has German sponsors. 

 

Denmark is only a few meetings but Britain on various race nights and thirty odd fixtures are not really going to fit in with all his other leagues and competitions and like Woffinden, Lindgren, Dudek etc will find British way of life and money on offer detracts from the contracts they have elsewhere.

Poland, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, SWC or SoN, SEC, U21, GP qualifiers and potential GPs on his calendar would he fit in or benefit from racing 30+ meetings here especially as most of his major sponsors are Polish or German. 

 

He he has reached a level at just the age of 20 and good luck to him trying to complete at the highest level possible and Britain isn't going to test him too much now. Go for it Robert

He certainly reached a level at the Oaktree last night!!

A little under Kurtz level :wink:

Overall a fantastic season for Lambo. Started on 7.38, finished on 9.31..... 2nd only to JD.

He is entitled to an off night.. Your No 1 had plenty, Kurtz 8.08... finished 6.75.... Less than a point off of a reserve slot for Poole :P

I know what someone gonna say "He wasn't really a No1" Neither was Lambo. Kurtz started on 8.08 to Lambo's 7.38 :approve:
