As for his gating I do agree with you about this issue, having said that if he can match or better J Holders gating, a world title is within his reach. Needs to become a lot tougher on track if he is to get anywhere near world champion. Hell of a talent but is way too soft presently 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bewley for me is the only challenger to Zmarzlik based on his pure speed, as other have said, he needs to put himself in difficult positions to progress as speed alone won't get you there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Lambert were bullied out of semi & final spots too many times this campaign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeW436 Posted December 6, 2023 Report Share Posted December 6, 2023 Dan needs to start p1ssing round Bartosz’ territory to ever win a world title, far too nice atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zmarzlik is exceptional, there is no one who can challenge him over a season in the current gp line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Jack could challenge, I backed him a couple of times last season as his price was tempting. Glad Dan is metal free but he needs more than that to challenge Bartosz over a season, they both can win meetings but Zmarzlik is head and shoulders above everyone currently.

Yeah really hard to watch the gps last season. Almost giving the championship to zmarzlik. Too many throttle jammers and not enough track craft used theses days. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the removal of metal from his body reduce the effects of the starting gate magnets, and enable him to make faster starts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was so frustrating this season watching lambert boss the heats and then choose gate 2 and give big guns gate 1 to just push him out of the way. Happened 3-4 times. I get he’d won races off two but if you’re backing yourself to make it off 2 just back yourself to make it off 1 and when you do you’ve got the advantage to push your opponents out like they kept doing to him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree, Crumpy was with him at most meetings and would have expected his experience to have had a word at some point. Unless he was ignored, heard Lambert has changed his team completely this year. I wonder if anyone in the team will help with that side of his meetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still when he has the speed woffy has the best track craft of anyone in gps to challenge zmarzlik, just hasn’t seemed to have the speed or gating gloves the last 3 years or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can ride a bike no doubt. But can't team ride , stop a run from behind or gate consistently. Woffy on day could miss the gate but be in front by the 3rd bend, I don't see bewley doing that Edited December 8, 2023 by Chrisdonnelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
