Craig Cook 2017


Recommended Posts

This. Really irritates me when riders get slated for a bit of handbags, it shows a care for what they are doing and adds to the entertainment. No punches were thrown so does it really matter.

As a fan you want to see/hear your riders show passion for your team/country full stop .....

Hope he stays at Belle Vue, premier could be an issue if the points limit is reduced. I don't believe he is as good as he'll ever be yet. Still fancy him to go up a level and I'f like to see him more adventurous on the lines at Bell Vue next season with his equipment sorted.

I would have put Cookie on a par with Jason Doyle in 2013 / 2014. We all know how Jason has kicked on with his career. Cookie doesn't seem to have had much luck in Poland. Denmark or Swedish experience needed?

I didn't want to say that, but it would be great to see him progress like Doyle. He's definately 100% focussed so why not.

 

Terrible luck this year with the BV shenanigans coupled with being mucked around in Poland. It would be great to see him in Denmark or Sweden, for sure - given a chance I'm certain he would slot in no bother.

nice to think he would but he may be a bit expensive for the comets and indeed many other teams other than one up north,would he dare ride for them though

Could Cook replace Stead at Sheffield, if the Josh deal doesn't happen ?

Cookie could be a world beater it's frustrating that he isn't. I'm a big fan of his but he's also frustrating to watch when he competes at the top level. Truth be told he should have won the BF on his home track and he should have scored better in the World Cup also. That being said, I just hope he really kicks on next season. Although I fear it could be the same old story for the Brits. Pre season interviews saying they are ready for it to be THE season, then suffer with engine, tyre, exhaust, tuner, weather or whatever else it is issues and it all fall flat again...

 

No disgrace being a domestic star though I guess.

He's not good enough for Poland and can't afford equipment and not get meetings to pay for it.Big fish in small pond is his best option given his age.

was scoring more in the pre meeting test meetings in poland than the riders that got into the team but never ginen a chance from what im led to believe

and all paid for from his own resorces

cost him a lot of money and never got a ride

Haven`t seen it reported anywhere that Cook has signed on yet in Sweden or Poland, which for his career is disappointing. I guess that means he will only race over here in both leagues, he may very well make a handsome living but long term wont make him the rider he could be.
