teaboy279 Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Lambert not started the season in great form, his gating being particularly patchy and only scored 2 for Lublin last night. And Bewley returning to fitness seems to be struggling away from the wide open spaces of the NSS so this meeting could be wide open. I think Kemp may be a good shout for a podium. How many riders qualify for the world u21s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrs Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 at the moment its a cracking evening for speedway, clear skies and fresh https://www.netweather.tv/live-weather/radar Good luck to all the guys tonight, make it a safe night, wish I could be there but sadly methanol is now poison to my body Still can't see beyond Lambert unless he has machine problems.

topsoil Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Decent meeting, the standard is getting better every year. Obviously Robert Lambert was a clear favourite, untroubled apart from a lap in the final, but there were some very good performances tonight from the likes of Tom Brennan, Drew Kemp, Jack Thomas and Zack Wajtknecht. Not one rider looked out of control tonight, okay there were varying levels of ability and speed, but each rider looked smooth and had a decent style. The future is bright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrace Grumbler Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 I agree with Topsoil. Can anyone tell me why Dan Bewley rode the last two laps of the semifinal at the back, pulling wheelies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed to give up after his coming together with with Kemp , I thought he'd damaged his bike or himself as he certainly threw the towel in afterwards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve55 Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 Couldn't be there but from what I've read it appears Drew Kemp did himself proud and at 16 seems to me that he could win this title 3 or 4 times before he's out of this age bracket, well done Drew and all the other riders who took part, sounds like it was a decent meeting apart from the obvious. (If Robert Lambert didn't have machinery issues he was bound to win it wasn't he!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(If Robert Lambert didn't have machinery issues he was bound to win it wasn't he!) Kemp is one of 3-4 who could really develop in to top class riders but for that reason I can't see any single one of them dominating like Lambert has between 18-21 age range when they get there. As much as Kemp gets the column inches the likes of Brennan and Flint are on his coat tails and then we have Thomas who has a bit more experience that Kemp and Brennan and the likes of Edwards and Atkins developing well too. All good for UK speedway. What these boys need to do now is what Lambert did, get European experience, we only had 1 Under 19 Finalist in Europe last year (Brennan) and progress would be to have 2-3 this year and every year from now on then try to push them in to U21 where they will face the Polish masses and learn more quickly.

Shadders Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Too much of a gulf in class to make it a really good meeting, but some interesting races and impressive performances from some. Lambert was always going to win, barring accident or engine failure. Can’t remember any fallers, which led to a smooth and well run meeting.

BobC Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Largely disappointing to be honest. Only 3 or 4 passes in 22 races says it all. When the likes of Bewley, riding his socks off and faster than those in front, are unable to find a way past says it all. The early races dictated which way this meeting was going. Gate 2 only scored 3pts in the first 8 races! Those riding in white and yellow had a big advantage. Congratulations to Robert Lambert,fully deserved 3rd Title.

allthegearbutnaeidea Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Was a very boring meeting apart from the last 5 or so races, was impressed with Thomas and Brennan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 I think its a meting that needs to be shared around tracks on a north / midlands / south and big / medium / small track split as that will help the youngsters develop... places like Berwick / Glasgow / Redcar - Birmingham / Leicester / Monmore - Poole / Eastbourne / Swindon would be ideal imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Decent enough meeting, as most though and expected Robert Lambert was a class above and was only really troubled for a lap in the Final, still a worthy champ. Cant remember if he had been to Berwick before last night but I thought most impressive rider was Tom Brenan, when Eastbourne come come for their league match he could be a trump card for them at reserve. Impressive performances from Drew Kemp and Jack Thomas, there seems that good things are happening in British speedway with the younger riders and i thought last night was evidence of that. All 22 races in the main meeting done and dusted before 9-30 curfew, no fallers, no re-runs so well done to all concerned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations to Robert Lambert,fully deserved 3rd Title. when I used to go to Scotland for the weekend it was Edinburgh and Glasgow that created the interest... Berwick just happened to be in the middle so I went... never been impressed with the racing at Berwick. Berrington Lough however was a fantastic track and thoroughly enjoyed those visits.
