Barrow Boy 2 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 The part where I said I was a big Cookie fan...Lifelong Monarchs fan and Cookie is an absolute legend at the club, joining us as an unwanted second string and quickly becoming probably our best rider ever.

The Cheese Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Superb achievement, well done Craig Cook. And to do it after finishing last in his first ride makes it an even better effort. Not a fan of Dudek but lets hope he has a decent end to the season and confirms Cook's place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Science Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 Well done Craig Cook. Terrific performance away from home in a World Class field and with a first ride zero. Hopefully Craig can now attract some more British sponsors to give him a package equipped for the competition of the GP series 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember someone saying that there would be extra for the riders that cone to Togliatti... I think it was the memorial heats which they held after the challenge. They ran it a bit wierd though. First they did the 20+1 heats plus prize giving cermoney, after that most of the crowd left. Memorial heats (2 semi + 1 final) was held after it.

Only way to do it really... which is why I thought it was a daft idea to do with a GP challenge. But anyways, it's ridden now, results are in so time to live with it...

Paleco Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 what are the chances in 2 or 3 yrs uk could have more gp riders than sweden or denmark?? What are the chances in 3 or 4 years Poland could have 10 riders in GP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 What are the chances in 3 or 4 years Poland could have 10 riders in GP? Before that happens the FIM will proably limit the amount of riders from 1 country,like they do with Russia in ice speedway....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 What are the chances in 3 or 4 years Poland could have 10 riders in GP? A shame in some ways but I want the 15 best riders to compete. Its madness that we have to have wild cards based on nationality not ability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 A shame in some ways but I want the 15 best riders to compete. Its madness that we have to have wild cards based on nationality not ability Thats because nationalism gets in the way. If you want to see the top riders you have to forget which country they come from, and I dont see that happening. If it was 10 Poles (or Swedes, or Danes, or UK) plus 6 others then fans would still want to say how good their countries riders are so they can brag and boast about it. As Iris 123 says FIM will probably put a limit on one country Even in the 60's/70's/80's you didnt get the best riders in the world because there was a limit how many qualified from different qualifying championships. Always been the case I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarkens Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 A shame in some ways but I want the 15 best riders to compete. Its madness that we have to have wild cards based on nationality not ability yeah I remember moaning about Tai getting a wildcard for 2013 series based on nationality as his ability in 2012 was nowhere near GP, but it turned out quite well for him and the series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
