Looked good and fast. But then everyone does when they are on there own. His style  is like bewleys but more boring if you know what I mean. 

 

Fricke looked best. Looked very fast 

Big year for Fricke i think he is capable of averaging well over 9 at home hopefully taking that confidence to away tracks.

Just read on the BSI site that Zagar wanted to return but it was unable to be accommodated due to being given a 9.00 average. Why is this? When he last rode in 2016 his average was only 7.48.

Crazy isn't it,but i think all GP riders were given that average.Even more crazy when you think Poole have a couple of riders with even more out of date averages but they can keep them.

But Cook is on 8.45, Iversen 9.04, Vaculik 8.00, Holder 7.16 & Doyle 9.69.

It's clearly been done to affect teams who have low averaged riders ie Wolves and belle Vue.

All GP standard riders with an average less than 8 who didnt ride here in 2017 were regraded to a 9, yet Vaculik is given an 8 which surely is the benchmark to treat all teams and riders fairly?? Another example of the blind leading the blind. 

Pawlicki  (Wolves asset who if not wanted by Wolves seemed destined for Poole), Woffy  (Wolves asset had spoken to CVS about a return due to fixed night racing) and Zagar  (Aces rider who was keen to come back but another vetoed by the establishment) all targeted by the governing body. You have to feel if it was a promoters vote then both Wolves and Aces can feel victimised.

I know a lot of it doesn't make sense.I assume because Cook,Holder and Doyle rode GB last season they would obviously keep their averages.As Iversen is above the average it doesn't seem to apply.Vaculik,i don't know.It's all a bit of a balls up really.

Is it true Drodz is going to ride at No.4? Big mistake if true. No need for S. Worrall to be at No.2

Worrall i like a lot see him at Swindon for a year he has made huge strides at home he needs to be better away he is really, decent.Actually think at home he can improve and away he is really adaptable to any track a great team rider.

Polish Press not very happy with Cook today. 

 

Saying he lacked a lot of speed. 

Not surprised. 

Cook will struggle this year imo. Lack of meeting's will get to him eventually.

I know this sounds silly but I don't think qualifying for the GP's is going to help Cook. 

Hope I'm wrong because I like Cookie I just worry about his confidence being affected in 2018 due to struggles in the GP's and possibly limited Polish rides due to form outside of the UK.

Should have taken the place in Sweden!!

Here we go.....Just wondering, are Poole fans negative about every club or is it  just BV ?

In the space of a week....

"Fricke is under performing"

 "Drozdz will be a failure "

Bewley is "over hyped" 

Now "Cook will struggle "   far to early to be making any judgement on any rider from any team , IMO

I stuck up for Tungate the other day. 

My assessment is more than fair. Every rider needs track time and if Cook gets dropped in Poland then track time will become an issue.

I too am disappointed by Cook's form in the GP's that haven't started yet.

If you think Cook is going to be competitive in the GP's then you need a re-think. 

Not being nasty like I said I like Cookie but lets be honest he has no chance of being in the top 8 if Craig is competitive then he's done well.

I’m not making a judgment just saying what polish press said today. 

I didn't say you specifically, and maybe Cookie is out of his depth in the GPs and the Polish Ekstraliga 

He's deserved this chance to test himself against the very best though , cant fault the guy, wish we had more riders like him
