T.N.T. 355 Posted September 30, 2018 On 9/24/2018 at 9:41 PM, Mark said: Cook said on BT Sport he will ride again this season. His wrist is not bad and plenty of movement. Another x-ray on Tuesday as early x-ray's not clear. Since then it looks doubtful as it may be broken and he can't really avoid finishing bottom of the fifteen so why risk it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racers and royals 8,696 Posted October 2, 2018 As expected NKI replaces Dudek on Saturday- i wish Cook would make a decision whether he is riding ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Cheese 2,020 Posted October 3, 2018 Disappointing for Cook, don't think he's had much luck in the series this year. Clearly not going to get a pick for next year but hopefully gets the chance to do the qualifiers again. Good advert for this at half-time in the Manchester United game last night, unfortunately most watching would have been asleep and missed it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has struggled all year, finally finds his form and gets injured in a race that should never have taken place. The track work should have been done before the meeting started. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are the reserves not given to 4th in the challenge then work downwards?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was particulary interested that side numbers must be fitted to the side of the motorcycle .... amazing what the rules cover !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be good but I think the likes of Zagar and Vaculik could be ahead of him on the reserve list if they also miss out. If Lambert doesn't get picked I'm sure he will be also.

Mark 1,497 Posted October 4, 2018 Craig Cook will be part of BT Sport's coverage on Saturday. That should work as it will create more conversation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Holder, Vaculik, Milik, Drabik, Smektala, Fric ke etc all far more likely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavan 5,049 Posted October 5, 2018 Zmarzlik out in a tough looking first heat off of gate three which doesnt tend to be a great gate at Torun Although there are no easy races in a gp i dont believe Tai could have wished for a better first two races. In heat four of of gate two with Holder inside him and Emil and the wildcard outside him. He then comes out in heat six in red with Pawlicki Lindgren and Milik Zmarzlik then will come out in 7. So Tai will have 2 rides before Zmarzlik will. I can see Tai being on 5 points and Zmarzlik on 2 going into Zmarzliks second ride so Tai would have a 13 point lead at that stage , to much for Zmarzlik in my view Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
