They’d have been better going for someone who gives their all each meeting like Mountain and use the points elsewhere to rebuild I agree with your sentiment that Cook is a strange move but please, "Mental health card" Shows a huge amount of disrespect for the many people who deal with issues or care for those that do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just felt like I needed to flag what appeared to be a flippant comment about a serious problem for many people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are are either fit (mentally or physically) or not to participate in a very dangerous sport which is also demands an extensive travelling commitment. Personal health and well being are the priority, but excuses for under performing to the paying public should not be tolerated. Either commit fully to your employer or step back to sort yourself out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 The problem with making a mistake, is trying to correct it but in doing so you can just make another one, which ends up by making the whole situation even worse than it was originally. Unless there's a stunning signing in the pipeline such as Wozniak, it's now in the hands of the riders to get Stewart Dickson off the hook and maybe actually they "owe him one". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
