You would have thought that Berwick might have released some kind of statement surrounding Cook's availability 🤷‍♂️

they have a month until their first fixture so they have time to sort the situation one way or the other

but yes a brief statement wouldnt hurt

They don't tend to say anything until they have a replacement lined up. Was the same when Rory pulled out as well.

That may very well have been the case, but Schlein wasn't signed up by a PL club and letting them down on the eve of the season. The first anybody officially knew about it was the press release. We already know that Cook "will be unavailable to race at this time"

Guest facility until nick Morris available. 

@IainB

Interesting.

Wouldn't rule it out. 

When does Morris' ban end? 

I'm no expert on the rules but wouldn't Berwick technically have to do the same as Poole and "officially" name a 7th rider?

You can't start with guests can you.

Depends whether Cook is deemed as withholding his services and gets a 28 day ban?

I had a thought about that. 

Start with Cook technically in the team. 

Might be a way of "fixing" the situation. 

Do you actually get a financial fine for withholding your services? 

Depends on where Cook's head is at. 

What's to stop him from contacting the BSPA and saying "I'm not withholding my services, I've told them to remove me from the team"?
