It's indefensible as far as I am concerned. My comments were aimed at maybe where his loyalties lie these days and no way defends his actions. Just commenting as to another reason maybe why he's not come back. Stop off at their's in Germany and less travel for the U21 meeting. If true it is taking the pee out of UK Speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darcy Ward and Chris Holder didn't like the old BV track but were good on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a point to never answer to posters who are blinded in seeing the true picture. Sarcasm and wit don't go down very well either. but for you I make an exception. I probably did drool over Michael Lee, but it never stopped me seeing the real picture. Indeed I probably knew more about Lee than any other rider. But it doesn't make it right to come up with excuses when it suits, regardless whether the meeting is important or not. I am sure there are enough airports in Europe to find a way to get to Poole had he had wanted too. Sad thing about tonight he is letting so many people down, people who rave about him and whose who were hopeful of seeing him for the first time tonight. Unfortunately the sport can ill afford this sort of behaviour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedway can't afford this sort of behaviour, and it's about time the BSPA punished those responsible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad thing about tonight he is letting so many people down, people who rave about him That's my "boy" nowadays ( Robert Lambert ) and I do rave about him but like Mr Webb I am not blind to Robert's faults. Interestingly back in the day, Michael Lee was even more of The One for me and oddly enough I don't think Robert will be as good as Michael was ( on track ). We can only hope that Robert has a longer, less controversial racing career than Michael. I certainly wasn't blind to Michael's faults either ( that was never possible ). Having been born and bred in Norwich my first great hero was Ove Fundin and Michael Lee "took over" from him just as Robert has done for me this century. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Micheal Lee was many things. I’m just thankful that I got to see him in his pomp. Robert Lambert is a fine rider. In Lee’s class ? Not a chance. Look what Lee was doing to the best the World had to offer when he was 20/21. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Lambert is a fine rider. In Lee’s class ? Not a chance. Look what Lee was doing to the best the World had to offer when he was 20/21. Mike's early form. Born in 1958. copy and pasted from Wiki Visually In 1976, Lee moved full-time to British League team King's Lynn and finished the season with an average of 9.22, he was also the British Junior Champion that year. At the end of the 1977 season, Lee had become the top scorer in the British League with an average of 10.64. He also won the first of his two British Speedway Championship titles. Lee won the World Team Cup with England and he had also made his first appearance in a World Championship Final.[4] Edited September 12, 2019 by Bald Bloke 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might laugh at this, apart from Lee at 16, the one other rider at 16 that I could not stop talking about was Lewis Bridger! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehone Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 and to think if someone like Lee is on the scene again it would still be 2 years before seeing a GP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis could have been as good as Lee, i think that, but i just think he got in with the wrong crowd. I remember taking Ivan Mauger to a meeting somewhere and Lewis was out in the 2nd half, he wanted to watch him, and afterwards was rather complimentary about him, but said he needed to change his style and stop the showboating 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyabb17 Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 I have a question....Why isn’t Wells riding tonight when he’s been declared fit for Edinburgh tomorrow night....Where’s my friend who was questioning my comment about Wells fit enough to race extra meetings. Poole on the fiddle again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 I remember a meeting at Boston early 1975 against league leaders Newcastle. Led by the Owen boys, they were a formidable outfit. Boston were doing Ok but were not of that standard. The meeting was always close, one team leading then the other, never more than a few points in it. It all boiled down to the final heat with Boston holding a 2 point lead, Lee missed the start and forced out on the first bend. Joe and Tom Owen were team riding keeping Price at bay. Start of lap 3 Lee moves past Price into 3rd, the crowd sensing something special was about to happen. Into the last lap Lee goes out wide on the 1st &2nd bends, down the back straight he uses all his speed to go round both the Newcastle riders to win an unbelievable race. And to think this was only his 3 competitive meeting, at an age of 16 yrs 3 months. Truly amazing talent for someone so young... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
