Has Lambert found his level in the sport,a couple of decent rides a meeting against the Top guys.?

I think he's still a bit young to have found his level but he very soon needs to learn to make starts consistently and be better around the first two bends or he will plateau.

Lambert is 3 years younger than Zmarzlik. Zmarzlik was blessed with Ekstraliga experience from 16. Lambert is as good as anyone his age now with Drabik disappearing & Smektala standing still. Kubera & Chugunov average less in Ekstraliga.

He's a little behind Fricke, who is a few years older but still improving. Unless Zmarzlik has an injury or downward spike I doubt any of those mentioned will reach his level.

Still hope.

Lambert has come across as a bit thick in the GP's. His first and second bend moves have been poor and he has put himself in some awful positions generally on track which have cost him points. His gating is dire as well at the top level. Great talent but a hell of a lot of developing to do.

People seem to forget that riders peak much later these days, often we'll past 30. I'd certainly put Lambert's career progress to date on a par with Freddie Lindgren who seems to have had a pretty good run in the GPs.

Darcy Ward would be approaching his prime around now then... now wouldn't that have been a treat to watch in the GP's with Bartek!

It was 6 years ago tomorrow since his crash

Is it really 6yrs ago, god how time cuts by, but yeah the speedway world was robbed of a special talent when Darcy had his terrible accident, for all his off track antics no one can say he wasn't a class act on it, a truly natural talent on a bike.

Zmarzlik will likely end his career  regarded as one of the top ten post-war speedway riders. If Fricke and Lambert fail to reach his level - and i would be very surprised if either do reach it- they could still be good enough to challenge for - or even win- a world title.
