Steve Irving Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 Hawkins’ insistence on shoehorning his badly out of form best mate in the side at all costs is I expect the main reason why the numbers didn’t add up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he even asked? Perhaps he didn’t fit with Hawkins’ “riders I want to work with” policy for this year. I am sure I read somewhere that Cook stated the travelling to Ipswich was too much for him!

Wouldn’t read too much in to comments made by riders when they don’t get rides at other clubs. When I spoke to him at the end of last year he seemed very happy and was hoping to return. If we’d have stuck a contract under his nose early doors who knows? Wasn’t all about him anyway was it. Wasn’t a case of Cook and being bang on the points limit, or no Cook and being 2.10 under. Back to this meeting, what a wasted opportunity. Such a healthy crowd, the biggest non bank holiday crowd I can remember for many a year. Such a shame we couldn’t put on a performance to entice the majority back. Let’s hope the limp performance and poor track conditions haven’t done too much damage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King and MPT had a great race in heat 11 when they were wheel to wheel for two laps but they gave each other room to race. The race in question.

Bagpuss Posted April 21, 2022 Report Share Posted April 21, 2022 Perhaps the camera angle isn't great but that move didn't look that bad and nothing that Hans wouldn't have done in his pomp. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
