Nope, can't agree with that at all. Wide variety of shapes - wider/narrower and the material is different. Requires different skills/technique. Continental riders have pretty much always struggled over here until experienced and vice versa. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you honestly believe he swans in over here , rides an old nail at half speed , picks up very little in wages and then wonder's back out again. I'm not going to defend some of his riding and poor performances but I don't believe for 1 minute that he is not taking it seriously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTT Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Probably the right call tbh. Sedgmen has been a good signing, Clearly want to give Pawlicki and Lampart time and last night proved how much they missed Steve Worrall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Pawlicki dropping to reserve probably saved his rear end, Cook can feel very unfortunate to lose his place. He wont be out of a Premiership team for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedgmen has been a good signing, Clearly want to give Pawlicki and Lampart time and last night proved how much they missed Steve Worrall. I think there was a lot of question marks over sedgmen but Sam so far has got this right. Birmingham missed Worrall at 2. Pawlicki is getting there ( I know he rode at 6 last night) but is a few weeks behind the rest as he missed part of the English season. Just didn’t see Cook progressing not sure if it’s bike or ability but I wouldn’t have thought there was much in the decision between him and Lampart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manifesto Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Cook can hold his head up high he has done well this season. I can see him going Kings Lynn or maybe even BV to join his brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie Head Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Zach’s better off out of it. It must be costing a fortune to keep the Brummies going with two Poles and now Freddie on the payroll. I wonder if they will survive. Zach will be an attractive proposition for other Premiership clubs. Good luck to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess he'd be a straight swap for MPT though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Probably the right call. Although Lampart can feel lucky as he hasn’t impressed to much but given he may become an asset could be the deciding factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hobbit Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 I’d say 100% the correct call. Cook has done nothing wrong yet, at no time this season, has he excited me or had me commenting after a race or, a meeting ….. “great job by Zack there”. He’s been unlucky as the plan was to have him at reserve but for various reasons, this hasn’t happened. Sadly for Zack, Worrall and sedgemen are both riding better than him snd scoring more points. regarding lampart, he has done much better than I expected, there have been flashes of brilliance and signs he is improving week on week. There is also the bonus that lampart becomes a club asset whereas Cook doesn’t. Lampart has the edge on cook in my opinion Worrall has been lucky as until they were all told a change was coming, his form had been disappointing but he’s got his finger out since then thankfully, Some said keep coook and redeclare without the unwell Worrall then release cook and reinstate Worrall when well but, remember, Lynn tried that with Pickering last year and he jumped ship to Sheffield plus, there’s no guarantee the authorities would have sanctioned Worrall being reinstated ….. They can decline his returning. yes, for me, 100% the right choice. thanks for your efforts Zach. Bit unlucky if truth be told. Hope you get fixed up elsewhere asap.

GiveusaB Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Not sure the asset thing carries any weight with this one...the Club don't know if they're going to survive from one season to the next? I'm sure there can be a case made for either rider based on performances...but I prefer Cook! As for Cook not doing a 'great job there'? I have to disagree and point to Heat 14 v BV where he came from behind to beat his brother, which 'effectively' won us the meeting! Still, its all about opinions....you could say that Lampart has had it tougher due to riding positions etc.... I have no doubt that ZC will be snapped up before the weekend!?
