First season where both have ridden in championship that Harris has had a better average, mostly down to cookies injury and mechanical problems. How does that make him an improvement?

Chris Harris - 8.98 Craig Cook - 8.45 I`d say that`s an improvement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to steal someone away sounds a bit underhand to me! Just my opinion though. We could be both having meltdowns at this rate lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool are well known for raiding other teams squads instead of getting off their bum and scouting players themselves in the past! Obviously I will happily retract it if it is not true! Which Aussie was this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need any more evidence lol. I assumed he was going to Edinburgh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehone Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 IF Harris goes to Glasgow you'll see a much different rider than you did last time around. Very good sponsor keeping check on his machinery allowing Bomber to just get out and race, he'll do well around that track with better machinery 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 It's an improvement because Cook has passed his peak now for whatever reason and I'd suggest he'll struggle to reach the heights he has before again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about that. I think a fresh start will do him good, but he showed in the British Final he's still up there with as one of the best British riders outside the GPs. The biggest challenge with Cookie is he's such a enigma, and you just can't he sure what you'll get at the moment, which can be frustrating when you know what he can do, but that's not always what you get. I hope he recaptures what he had whenever he ends up, because he's still incredible to watch when he's on it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say Cook doesn't have to recapture his old form, he only needs to up his 8.2 ave to be considered a good signing. Which I believe he could do at Edinburgh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
