Bagpuss Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Exactly, I don't think too many people are particularly fussed with how their riders do in Poland or anywhere else for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces High Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Watched Cook's heats on youtube and he did look to be some way off the pace, just didn't seem to have any speed. Hope he gets it right as it could dent his confidence a bit. I wonder if he has made any significant changes to his bikes over the winter?

I do think there is interest with this being Craig's first time as a GP rider. It well known he suffers from depression too so if things fail in Poland and a poor GP showing it could see him throw it all in. Last season he went AWOL with his issues. There will be fears things could become to much for him and affect his position with Belle Vue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestGorton1884 Posted April 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) I think its quite possible the GPs will be a step too far for Cookie, but after the effort he's put into BV, and British speedway in general He certainly deserves his crack at the big boys, wish we had more riders like him Edited April 4, 2018 by WestGorton1884 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be backing him in the GP's but we can't forget that he is a delicate soul. I just hope he has the right people behind him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Cook has performed well elsewhere in Europe hence his qualification in the GPs but he does seems to be struggling to crack Poland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 he’s not been picked by his polish side for their first league match this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No suprised he looked woeful in that practise meeting a couple of days ago. Not sure if it was nerves or whatever but he was all over the place. A far better rider than he showed the poles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this, my worry is how a poor GP and struggling in the Polish league could affect his BV form, i thought his signing to be more of a gamble this season.

poolebolton Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Hope Worrall is OK?? Apparently suffered a very bad crash and was on the floor for 20 mins for scunny tonight. Never nice to see any rider injured especially at the start of a season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces High Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Fingers crossed. He has been doing very well in the few meetings so far this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Doesn't sound to good tbh. He will be missing for a while from what I hear. Lemo has a big job on his hand. Does he go for a straight replacement or a total team 're build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Worrall has been riding well so a blow for Belle Vue. This is a problem for the premiership clubs, when a rider gets injured riding in the championship. Hope he makes a speedy recovery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a problem for Championship clubs too when one of their team gets injured in the Premiership, unfortunately that's speedway these days.

ouch Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) Hope he’s not out long, big blow that. Maybe get Zagar, Hougaard & Smith in place of Worrall, Drozdz & Etheridge. Lol. Edited April 6, 2018 by ouch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolebolton Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) Scunthorpe promoter has just said Broken Leg. Which I guess is at least a month. 6.77 to play with. Horrible start though. That’s just going to stop his progress and I hope he gets back soon. Edited April 6, 2018 by poolebolton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
