ROBERT LAMBERT says Great Britain need to find their “A game” to win a third gold medal in five years.
GB go into Tuesday night's Speedway of Nations semi-final in Torun, Poland as defending champions.
Lambert and Dan Bewley have taken the title in 2021 and 2024 but never on foreign soil.
They face Germany, Italy, Latvia. Norway, Slovenia and Sweden in the semi but favourites and hosts Poland are the biggest task awaiting in the final on Saturday night.
Lambert said: “Poland are going to be strong on home territory, but me and Dan know the Torun track pretty well and mostly go well there.
“We made history by getting the first gold in 32 years back in 2021 for GB.
“We have been rewriting the history books since then, so why not try and go one better and win one outside of the UK as well?
“It’s going to be a tough one, but we are up for the challenge.
“We have the semi-final first, so we need to be focused on that, get the bikes dialled in as best as possible and make sure we get through.
“We need to get that first hurdle out of the way and then move on to the Final. It’s a strong line-up for the semi-final.
“Anyone can pop out, win races and do well. We just need to be on our A game – the same as we always are when we get the GB suits on.”
