Speedway Grand Prix: 'I want to get to the final' - Robert Lambert targets glory at 'electric' Cardiff meeting

Robert Lambert is eyeing more final appearances and even a podium finish at the Speedway Grand Prix as he remains optimistic for the remainder of the season – starting this weekend in Cardiff. The SGP arrives in Great Britain for round six at the Principality Stadium with five races left to decide the championship. Ad Brit Lambert, currently ninth in the standings, is competing in his second SGP season and is looking for a top six finish to qualify for a third next year.

You know, keep optimistic about things.

A lot can happen in the last rounds of Grand Prix. “My goal is still the same as the beginning of this season. I want to qualify for next year.

I got that opportunity last year with a wildcard and I want to prove to everyone that I can hold my own in the Grand Prix and that's the level I want to be at. “That's how things are going at the moment, and we still keep taking every meeting as another meet and then step by step and we'll see where it leaves us at the end of the year.” Along with Tai Woffinden and Dan Bewley, Lambert is among three British riders taking to the track in Cardiff, and while he is relishing the prospect riding a home race, he insists he won’t allow the ‘electric’ atmosphere to be a distraction. “There's atmosphere in the stadium,” he said.

“There's atmosphere in the city, it’s pretty compact. And, you know, thousands and thousands of people walking the streets, cheering and blowing horns. It’s pretty electric.
