Don't know why people still keep harping on about Zach Cook being treated badly last season. Plenty of riders have been unfairly dropped over the last few years in order that their club's can play the numbers game, and although they don't like it, most of these riders just accept it as a hazard of their job.

I also thought it was a mistake to let Zach go at the time, but the fact that he came back into the team at a later date and then showed considerable improvement, says it all. He would have been daft to have missed the chance of returning, and would just have been doing himself out of earning more money. Personally, I'd have liked to have him back for 2025, but I wish him well wherever he does go.

Just as a matter of interest, which of us would have ditched Milik and retained Pawlicki last season? In hindsight, we would have benefitted by keeping Milik who did at least put some effort into his riding, which is more than can be said about Pawlicki- but by reputation, Pawlicki was and is, a far better option, had we only realised this at the time.

 Zach announced for Aces last night !!

To suggest they won't finish the season money wise, is bollocks imo! 

They struggled last season, so why would they go again if they can't see it through?

Just saying....

As expected, total nonsense.

But Zagar spent several months at #1 with a higher average than Fricke & Kurtz.  Aces were actually better at home when Zagar was at #1 than when either Aussie was in hat position.

 

But finished well lower down the averages at the end of the year, and a huge disparity between home and away average.

Antti Voulas rode last meeting of the season for us and scored a big fat ZERO . I doubt (hope) that performance has convinced anyone at they club to sign him foe 2025 .

Last three signings will be interesting I get the feeling we are trying to convince one or two riders into signing . We really need another decent heat leader to be competitive .

Riding at 3 though not 6. Important distinction imo but very BSF in failing to mention it. 

In the final declaration there were only 3 teams with a better number 6, average wise. Considering he was drafted in to replace injured Tate, I think he did and would do a fine job in the PL.

it would be far more sensible to judge the rider on his achievements across the rest of the season for worky and bv id have thought

It's this kind of sensible forward thinking that this forum isn't used to.

Have to agree, only seemed to take him 2/3 laps to sus a new track out and he looked smooth and quick in his next rides.
Surprised Leicester went for Cook over him- if he doesn’t end up at Brum that is!

I saw him ride at the NSS for the Aces v Sheffield and I felt he was a matchwinner! he certainly looked good there.

Milik on a 4.11 average is worth a punt.
