damosuzuki Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Good luck Craig. Hope to see him at Belle Vue next season. To be honest he has really come on and I think he will be a top 8 rider in the world i the next few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drosser Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 6.00 i believe, personally wouldn't take the risk on him though. Not rode over here for 2 years and don't think he could improve on that IMO. But if another team want to take him on this year and lets say for example his average drops a bit for 2017 you never know. You're surely not suggesting that a Monarch's asset would shaft another employer and let down fans just to get his Edinburgh team place back - that would be morally reprehensible and unsporting. His British career would be finished, surely! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junior fan Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Is anyone surprised really, cannot make a name for himself riding on the continent while riding Premier League. Personally I think it has done Edinburgh a massive favour, they can now go with; Masters Wolbert Sedgmen Riss Clegg 3 pointer And still have 5.86 left over for their last rider. Maybe another Riss joining the club. Hearing there may be a cpl of those missing as we'll. Junior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I'm sure the Monarchs will have suitable No1 lined up already.Best of luck to Cook he certainly improved last season and has too take the chance of getting into the "big time".

You could always ask for a reduced average based on that 😉! #preciousjoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillipsr Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Brave decision by Cook. Hes never shown he could hack it abroad so wouldnt surprise me to see him back in the PL next year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Brave decision by Cook. Hes never shown he could hack it abroad so wouldnt surprise me to see him back in the PL next yearnothing against him,but qualifying for the GPs will be a difficult task.If he gets regular Teams abroad he will earn good money though.He will never earn easier money than what he did in PL though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Good to see Cook looking to further his career, I hope it works for him, racing in leagues abroad plus getting into SGP Qualifiers should help in that direction. His decision to move on from Edinburgh might actually help the Edinburgh promotion in putting next years team together as it frees up quite a number of points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWC Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 He's still younger than when John Louis moved into the the senior league but JLwas far more Successful (and inexperienced) when he made the move. If he joins a Swdish club that suits his style then he could be a success but Poland would be very tough. I do however think he might be very good and GB need the riders!

NJC71 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Good move. He can always come back to the PL if it doesn't work out, he has to give it a go. Just hope he get's a proper opportunity to show what he can do. He was very impressive towards the end of last season. Will be a big loss the the Monarchs though. Riders who can pretty much guarantee those sort of points home and away don't come around very often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe retire the Number 1 race jacket and ride 2 to 8.Only joking BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr8scot Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Well, it's official ..... The end of an era!!! It has been an absolute pleasure watching Craig develop into the rider and person he has become and we have been blessed with watching him flying round the boards at track after track over the last 5 years knowing how proud he was to wear the Monarchs race jacket and fill the trophy cabinet. Who do you want when the going gets tough, who do you want in a last heat decider? He will most definitely be missed and nigh on impossible to replace and on a purely selfish note, I am sorry to see him go but I wish him all the very best for his future progression. A remarkable talent on a speedway bike!!!!! Good luck lad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRKYLANE Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) Craig has done a phenomenal job for you in the last 5 years and as he says it is time to move on with EL and Poland. I am sure that Edinburgh will still have a strong side which will be aiming to / reach the play offs. Good Luck Edinburgh.... my trips to Edinburgh are now curtailed with Belle Vue being on Fridays.

damosuzuki Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 I think the doubters are going to get a fright when they see what this boy has began to do - remembering he was a late convert. He will be a GP regular in the next 3 years and fully expect him to be Belle Vue's #1 in 2016. There, I said it. If there is anything in his way, he will work through it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id be willing to bet he wont be a full time GP rider theres some far better riders out there especially on the continent. People seem to be really over reacting because he had a decent last month 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 A decent last month? Are you for real? A slow first couple of months certainly but got better month by month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
