Craig cook was involved in a incident at the stadium a few years ago when he nearly run laura over on the centre green who was the club doctor at the time

Yes and the other week Scott Nicholls said on tv he was temperamental. Never liked him but supported him when he rode in gp or for GB.

Pass judgement then.....

 

What was the man with the red flag doing in the middle of the track?  It looks like the rider is going to go past the flag man (at slow speed) but the man decides to move to his left to block the rider cauSing the rider to ride into him.  In reaction to that, the rider tries to head butt him - which is clearly not an acceptable reaction but the flag man was definitely in the wrong but that doesn’t excuse the head butt.

Why did Cook ignore the Red Flag though. One of the first things you learn as a novice is always obey the red flag when on track...

The flag man is the official - you obey the officials instruction at all times. He tried to ignore him and then assaulted him......

From viewing that what was the Marshall doing in the middle of the track, no wonder Cookie lost it . No excuse for the headbutt but doesn't look as clear cut as first seemed

The flag marshal was attempting to stop Cook and the other two who rode off from the introductions before the home team had been announced. The marshal was under orders to stop Cook who should have been standing waiting for the intros to finish.

Cook needs a ban and fine for ignoring the officials orders. Bang out of order.

I'm hoping the rest of the vid gets released at some point.  Hangers on got involved and turned it into something far bigger.

Agree they were out of order, but the reality is, Cook was heading OFF the track so there was absolutely no need to step in front of him as he did.
