Bewley is head and shoulders above Lambert at the NSS Has to be Woffinden, Cook and Bewley if we're using our best riders Our best three riders include Lambert. Bewley might give Lambert a run around NSS, but Lambert is a better rider overall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g13webb Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 To me our top 3 riders are so obvious, Woffy, Cook and Lambert are way better than anyone else. The trouble UK have is they are light years behind some of the other countries... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a season too early for him but he is getting there. Thought Cook looked the same he has in a lot of his NSS meetings so far...well down on both confidence and power. Whatever changes he made in the winter dont seem like they have worked. Hope he can bounce back tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactical Joker Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) Well that was a superb evenings entertainment. The noise in the stadium for the final race was deafening. Add the perfect weather and lots of different beers to chose from and Warsaw is an an event you can’t miss if you have the opportunity. Well done Tai, but Lindgren and Laguta were special too. Cook seemed to ride a different track to all the others in one heat, just hope his confidence isn’t damaged by riding against the real stars of the sport.

Popular Post James Carter Posted May 13, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 I think people are giving Cook a bit of a hard time. No doubt he wasnt good. He hasn't been good all year and has been getting well beaten up in the Polish 2nd tier However he qualufied the hard way in 2017 and that deserves some respect and some patience. The challenge at Togliatti he showed some grit after a terrible first race he came through where others - Zagar, Madsen, Kildeman, Milik, MJJ failed. The pass on Kildeman in awful conditions was absolutely immense in that match I'm sure if he can get his bike working better he will improve this season and whilst I doubt he'll be challenging for many finals I think he will get better 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the best for Wrocław is what we should be picking, unless we plan to fake some injuries after the semi final. We probably won’t be the only ones.By any means necessary as Malcom X said Edited May 13, 2018 by iris123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some excellent racing with Holder doing very well. Thought Woffindens childish behaviour was very poor before the final. Perhaps his "childish" behaviour is a reflection of the happy place he is in with birth of his daughter. Also the laugh and joke he had with Magic before the gate selection was a way both relieved the tension before the race where they both performed brilliantly. They both showed the place to be serious is out on the track. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalan Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Really don't understand why so many moan about Woffinden. Pity there are not more Brits like it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lioness Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Good meeting and cracking final ride from Tai that deserved the win. Good advert for the sport and what a great crowd Ill be controversial and say I thought the referee had a good meeting too. Consistent re starts and took his time to make sure of his decisions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His club form hasn,t really taken off yet either. He made some good gates ,but whereas that was good enough for him in the Championship in GB it means nothing in GP ,got swamped every 1st lap.He did qualify to ride in the GP and deserves his chance.Not in the same league as Harris at his best and he struggled.He is not a youngster either.Good Luck to him though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are all supporting him but on last nights showing he will be last in every GP. He led one race but wouldn't put his bike anywhere near where a challenge was coming from. Compare with Tai in his semi final. He could have been hit from behind or clipped wheels and sent tumbling. If Cook is to succeed he have to show a willingness to get into tough situations. Riding safe will see him fail. How much does he want it ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total crap Cook was put in positions that he has never been put in before ok he come second best but he would of learned an awful lot.Mark can you remember Tai in his maiden GP season????? he was p.... poor but he learned and got stronger learning as he went along.

OveFundinFan Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 A good GP, few races strung out, but all that was forgot by the brave riding from those who wanted the win. Laguta had a fast bike, and will need it as there are certain situations he doesnt go into like a few of the more successful riders. This year, like last year, I am rooting for Freddie. I hope he keeps it clean, but he certainly seems to be man on fire and goes for it, and all despite that bad injury to his neck late last summer. I hope he safely finishes the business this year and gets a medal - preferably gold - its in him for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Did enjoy the short version,but can understand people who don't like the sport because it is all sorted by the end of the 1st lap,which happened often even here.Mostly mistakes and losing control was the reason for a pass.Sadly it looks like Cook is out of his depth and won't get in where it hurts,which is needed at this level.One of the problems with Iversen and it was ironic that although Iversen looked fatsre than Cook,each time he had a chance to pass,he backed off.....Good win for Tai as he rode a brilliant final to lose control and still take the lead and win.Doyle going to suffer psychological problems this year?
