LAMBERT IN STARS RETURN

KING’S LYNN favourite Robert Lambert is returning to the Sports Insure Premiership for the final six matches of the Stars’ season.

The Grand Prix regular rode for his local club in the top flight from 2014-19 and also had a stint with Belle Vue in the latter stages of 2023.

He has agreed to see out the season with the Adrian Flux Arena side, who have released Artem Laguta having also suffered the major blow of the loss of captain Nicolai Klindt to injury.

Lambert said: “I’ve seen the scores this season and I know King’s Lynn haven’t been having the best of years.

“But even though the play-offs aren’t in reach it’s still a great opportunity for me to come in and give them a bit of a supporting boost towards the end of the season.

“The plan is to score lots of points, as I was doing the last time I rode for them! I wouldn’t want to show my performance any other way, I want to do my best for my original club and the club who I’ve raced with the most in the UK.”

Co-promoter Dale Allitt added: “Robert is loved by everyone at King’s Lynn. He’s done so much from his first meetings back in 2013 in the National League, and it’s been a pleasure to watch his development into one of the best riders in the World.

“We have six matches remaining, a couple of them at home, and when you look at the teams we are facing, the prospect of Robert taking on Dan Bewley and Brady Kurtz (Belle Vue) and then Jason Doyle and Emil Sayfutdinov (Ipswich) around King’s Lynn is very much one to look forward to.

“It’s quite amicable with Artem, and we thank him for his contribution. By his own admission he’s found the smaller tracks more difficult, and the option to bring back a King’s Lynn asset in Robert was one we couldn’t turn down.”
