PolskiZuzel Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 Robert Lambert has been an eye opener of this year's Polish Ekstraliga, and thanks to the new regulations for 2021 he is in a privileged position when it comes to negotiating his terms with EkstraLiga clubs. Polish daily sports newspaper “Przeglad Sportowy”, in its website version, claims that the Brit recently received offers from seven EkstraLiga clubs and one from Toruń, who are confidently moving towards ExtraLiga promotion. The story goes that he expects PLN 800,000 (£160K) for a signature from several clubs and PLN 7,000 (£1.4K) for each point scored, which, with a similar form to this year's, would give him a chance to earn PLN 1.8 million (£360K) in PGE Ekstraliga. Toruń who are most likely to be promoted to the ExtraLeague are the closest to sign him. They are offering him not only a lot of money, but also an almost confident ride in at least five races in each match. For Lambert, this city may seem extremely attractive also for personal reasons, because his life partner comes from Toruń. It is still unknown whether Torun will decide to abandon their plan for Jason Doyle’s return to the club. Earlier, they had already agreed the terms of the contract with the Holder brothers and they have a big dilemma as to which of the two Jason Doyle, or Chris Holder to choose from. Positions for domestic riders still remains a mystery. At the moment, Paweł Przedpełski and Przemysław Pawlicki have the best chances of appearing for Torun, but it is possible that the Russian Wiktor Kulakow will also remain in the club. In the latter case, however, it will necessary for him to obtain documents entitling him to start as a Pole. With a few unknowns in the line-up, the Toruń club would like to persuade Frederik Jakobsen to ride for their club. If everything went according to plan, he would act as a backup rider and replace the Pole if necessary. However, if Lambert had withdrawn from the original contract, it would have been the Dane who would start as an U-24 rider. Lambert's turnaround cannot be ruled out, as several clubs may return to negotiations with him when they see that all their plans have not worked out so far. Then they will be determined and can offer him money that he could only dream about in Toruń. However, it is not only big money that may tempt him to change his mind, but also the prospect of riding in a slightly better team capable of riding extra matches in the 2021 play-offs. Looking at Toruń's plans, their team on paper would appear weaker than Wroclaw, Leszno or Gorzow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at how Kulakov did for Zielona Gora in his guest appearance. Holder's performance today shows why he is finished at the top level.
