emilali Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Do I assume correctly that the GP superstar is out of favour with the GB management due to his many misdemeanours over the last couple of years? Especially around Glasgow he should have been brought in ahead of Harris if relations weren’t strained surely? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially around Glasgow he should have been brought in ahead of Harris if relations weren’t strained surely? Firstly, I assume you mean Craig Cook but you don't have the gonads to say so. Secondly, GP superstar and many misdemeanours? When has Craig Cook claimed to be a superstar and when has he let down GB when competing for or representing them? As usual, lets make up a story based on prejudice and stupidity! If you were in anyway genuinely interested you would have been able to discover that the GB management, as in previous years, asked riders who wanted to compete in Grand Prix qualifiers, ride abroad, etc, etc, for season 2021. Some riders like Chris Harris said he'd be willing, Craig Cook decided his days of travelling abroad were over as he wanted more time with his family. A squad of riders were selected including U21s to ride for and represent GB. It is only right and fair that the riders named in the GB squad should be selected. Craig is better around Glasgow than Adam Ellis and Chris Harris but it would be unfair to ask squad members to forego their place, this is assuming that Craig would even want to do it, which I doubt.

We keep hearing how good overseas youngsters are so our will only get better racing against better riders. If Jordan Palin is considered good enough there is no reason why Drew or Leon shouldn't be considered. It's not as if there is anything at stake but pride and entertainment. Don’t disagree,but Palin and Brennan are already in the Team,fans have paid good money to see a competitive match.4 under 21’s is too much.It looks one sided just now if the Poles get round Ashfield like Muisalik did in the GP Qualifier.

cyclone Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Have a slight recollection that a few years ago in the Glasgow programme, they thanked Ronnie Anderson for providing the use of track covers he had purchased from the BSPA, at short notice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
