In fact I have yet to see anyone suggest they are. Robert has years on Dan. In the future however, there is every chance he may and that is great news for British speedway.

Bagpuss Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) Track obviously caught some riders out but still a pretty good meeting. Robert looking very good once again but good to hear from his interview that his feet are on the ground.

Col Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 Weird, unpredictable Torun track didn't make for the best entertainment, especially early on. That said Lambert's first outing, heat 4(?), was probably the pick of the heats. Woryna exclusion was wrong. Madsen very up & down, Zmarzlik won't retain world title on that form. But Lambert is joint top of leader board & roll on Wednesday in Bydgoszcz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
