HenryW Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Great stuff from Cookie. Having won both of his GP qualifying meetings so far this year, let's hope he can do it again in Russia! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panthers89 Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Glad Dudek beat MJJ, makes it a bit more competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teijahn Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Congratulations Cookie, Laguta unlucky - perhaps he gets a wildcard for the Final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray c Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 well done craig now win the british final monday night 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welwyn Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Looking at that list and the possibility of at least 3 of those being in the GP top 8 anyway, a real chance for Cookie there. Also really want him to win on Monday now as that experience in Cardiff would do him good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Out of the line up id say dudek is almost certain for top 8, and probably one of vaculik/pawlicki as well. Hopefully the top 3 come from any of the above who miss out on top 8, zagar cook fricke milik and pawlicki. Ideally cook zagar fricke. Worst case scenario would be something like smoli miezinski and either of the challenge wild cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Great to see Craig Cook getting to the Challenge, hopefully he can make it through to SGP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 What are the chances Laguta gets a wc?And then wins the meeting!!! Great result for Cook.Must be the best performance abroad by a Brit since the last great performance....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 I would definitely think Laguta is in with a wild card. Looks like he started slow last night but his last ride could have took him through. Sadly he was injured and the other rider excluded, so that was his wc picked, and doubly so cause the final is in Russia. Not really on top form this year judging by results I seen so would really have to improve if he was to be a worthy entrant in to the 2018 GP series.

DutchGrasstrack Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 The reserves will by the way be provided by the MFR instead of the numbers 8 from Olching/Terenzano. FIM changed this rule, just like in the semis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 I have long thought Cook, is the most underrated Speedway rider around. People over the years have not fully appreciated him, I hope now he gets the recognition he fully deserves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPNY Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Both Laguta's likely to be given the final 2 spots I guess. On that track could easily finish 1st and 2nd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrasstrack Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Wildcards to be announched soon. Probably tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
