Does anyone seriously think that the sponsor of Sheffield would ever let that happen??? Expand Quite a few people in various threads were convinced that the result would be fixed, although some are now denying it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Match fixing in any sport is a no no and to hint that it may happen is not the best idea unless you have conclusive proof. Always easy though on social media. Maybe some should think before they type? and if you are wrong it would not go amiss to say that you messed up and got it wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to get him before a Polish club offers him big money. Expand That's big praise. Not seen him yet but has to go some to be better than Lee or Nicholls.

Expand Robert Lambert was sensational at 15 although he was quite experienced by then having been able to participate in Germany from a younger age. Sometimes, though, riders who look equally good , for whatever reason, fail to progress. Those who spring to mind include David Howe, Edward Kennett, Steve Boxall and, more recently, Kyle Bickley (twice 125cc World Champion).

Expand Agreed Lambert was certainly very good at the age of 15/16 although some way short of what Michael Lee was achieving at such a young age. As you rightly say some riders look very impressive at 15/16 but fail to progress as might have been expected. Others like Jason Doyle of course rise to the top once their teenage years have passed.
