If he gets 5pts in any GP meeting he will have gone above my expectation. At this level crashing is part of the deal. I want him to do well but doubt he will. I can see Lambert being picked for Manchester. Lambert is going to be in anyway as U21 rider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g13webb 4,254 Posted May 13, 2018 To me our top 3 riders are so obvious, Woffy, Cook and Lambert are way better than anyone else. The trouble UK have is they are light years behind some of the other countries... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love Dan but he has a way to go before being as well rounded as Lambert. Might be a season too early for him but he is getting there. Thought Cook looked the same he has in a lot of his NSS meetings so far...well down on both confidence and power. Whatever changes he made in the winter dont seem like they have worked. Hope he can bounce back tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tactical Joker 60 Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) Well that was a superb evenings entertainment. The noise in the stadium for the final race was deafening. Add the perfect weather and lots of different beers to chose from and Warsaw is an an event you can’t miss if you have the opportunity. Well done Tai, but Lindgren and Laguta were special too. Cook seemed to ride a different track to all the others in one heat, just hope his confidence isn’t damaged by riding against the real stars of the sport.

James Carter 62 Posted May 13, 2018 I think people are giving Cook a bit of a hard time. No doubt he wasnt good. He hasn't been good all year and has been getting well beaten up in the Polish 2nd tier However he qualufied the hard way in 2017 and that deserves some respect and some patience. The challenge at Togliatti he showed some grit after a terrible first race he came through where others - Zagar, Madsen, Kildeman, Milik, MJJ failed. The pass on Kildeman in awful conditions was absolutely immense in that match I'm sure if he can get his bike working better he will improve this season and whilst I doubt he'll be challenging for many finals I think he will get better 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some excellent racing with Holder doing very well. Thought Woffindens childish behaviour was very poor before the final. Perhaps his "childish" behaviour is a reflection of the happy place he is in with birth of his daughter. Also the laugh and joke he had with Magic before the gate selection was a way both relieved the tension before the race where they both performed brilliantly. They both showed the place to be serious is out on the track. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
