Bagpuss 10,780 Posted December 13, 2019 I thought Cook filled the Puk void quite well last season while recognising he had one or two dodgy meetings and that he can probably improve in 2020 with more meetings at Lynn. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And a main reason , for me at least, why my £s are no longer VFM. "That wait and see if I make a better start next time" from too many riders . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,780 Posted December 14, 2019 The Lynn surface doesn’t help either, no point busting a gut if it’s going to make no difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couldn't agree more regarding Cook, if only he could get his head sorted, on his day so very quick & smooth. Must remember his speedway carer is relatively short. He would be my first choice to get in Lynn line up 2020. Stick my head on the chopping block here, if you get him, will end up at No1 end of season. Why, far more dedication than Lambert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,780 Posted December 14, 2019 Dedication to what? King’s Lynn? British speedway? Speedway in general? I think it’s good to have two very good riders pushing each other to be number one, should give them both extra incentive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lamber regressed last season but is a much better rider than Craig I expect he will prove as much this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
00000 1,279 Posted December 14, 2019 Just a hunch on my part: Cook will go to Peterbrough (shock I know) and Bech will be at Lynn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I once thought Cookie was going all the way to the top level. like you say he was quick and smooth. But not anymore. ! questioned why he left BV. I cant imagine a team would get rid of a prized asset. I want a rider who you can guarantee to get double figures every meeting and unfortunate Cookie comes up short. 2018, Robert reached them dizzy heights, and I thought he had arrived on the world stage. 2019 Robert wasn't the same he became a shadow of the rider he was. he appeared to have taken 2 steps backwards and consequently the team suffered. For Lynn to hold their own we need 2 top riders. Riders capable of winning heats 13 and 15. Failing that, then it becomes a waste of time...…. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suspect injuries held him back last year but no doubt he's a talent. I'm no good at these averages (so maybe wrong) but Bech, Riss and another good 'un will be shake things up.
