Anyway back to Poole 2026!!😊
With fixtures now coming thick and fast for August I'm aware of one rider who has had positive discussions with the club - but not sure whether as a guest or permanent?!
As with any rider - it will please some but not others.
Not sure how asking a question is trying to be clever? What I do know is that Cook's management in Lodz required him to be there on SGP day. This was flagged up to the Poole management when he signed his Poole contract. Maybe (that word again) he had to collect his equipment/mechanic/van/ whatever before travelling to Lodz' away meeting today where they won and he scored 7 points? Maybe?
Zach Cook signed his Polish contract before Poole's as he wasn't intending to do Championship in 2026, as he announced at the end of 2025 season. It was only the uncertainty of the Premiership's future with decisions delayed to Jan '26 that made him change his mind (helped no doubt by Middlo offering encouraging words). Cook made it perfectly clear that he would not be available for certain Pirates fixtures if his Polish club Lodz required him.
