LAMBERT EXPECTS GREAT GP

BRITISH Champion Robert Lambert is relishing the prospect of this weekend’s double Grand Prix in Manchester at a venue where he has previously enjoyed great success.

Both of Lambert’s British titles have been won at the National Speedway Stadium, the most recent coming just a month ago, and he has also been involved in both of Great Britain’s Speedway of Nations victories at Belle Vue.

The World No.2 goes into Friday and Saturday’s meetings needing strong results as he is currently eighth in the standings after collecting just three GP points in Prague last time out.

Lambert said: “I think Manchester is one of those tracks which are wide open and create plenty of lines.

“Hopefully the track is prepared in a good way, then it can create some magnificent racing. 

“We saw it in the Speedway of Nations Final last year and the British Final this year in the Grand Final. I’m sure there will be many more great heats this weekend coming.”
