racers and royals Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 Lambert on Facebook "Just to keep you updated - I had a couple of practises this week. As I am still in some pain I wanted to know how I feel riding the bike. Tomorrow I’ll be back racing for my polish club Speedway Motor Lublin. Of cause it means I’ll be racing in the SGP Challenge in Gorican on Saturday too. Thank you to everyone for the messages while I was recovering. It means a lot and it is great to have such a great community behind me." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any takers? I mean he broke his back three weeks ago!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you know the answer The answer is that it’s a 21,5 hour drive from Tallinn EE to the track. But then again... According to the rules Timo is only fourth reserve and the only reason we are having this discussion is because you posted the line-up and I found out about it. Then the Finnish team manager found out about it and then Timo found out about it... Thats how CCP runs speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been an advocate of not allowing the bottom 9-15 in the challenge before, but at the end of the day they probably are amongst the world's top riders. Just gets a bit tiresome watching Zagar, Iversen and Lindback have 1 good meeting in 5, with no genuine hope of ever becoming World Champion. But on there day capable of winning a gp or at least making a final You are not going to get 16 riders all capable of being world champion.............never had that under the old system. There will always be also rans struggling............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The talent spread is large But someone has to finish bottom. Edited August 23, 2019 by Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'd struggle to find 15 riders capable of winning a world title, but I don't think it'd be beyond the realms of possibility to find 15 riders capable of winning a GP. Fricke, for example, is a point behind Zagar and four behind Iversen, despite having raced one less round. He's also had two double figure scores, so straight away he'd be an improvement.

Agree ,it’s hard to pick a race winner in the Heats this year never Mind the GP winner,There will always be good riders missing out but that’s how the World Champs has always been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the best on show but a very adaptable rider who really knows his setups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
