Phil The Ace 2,860 Posted May 11, 2019 30k a season is a bit wide of the mark. It was more like 19k a year. Which is still a full time wage for some people 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some clubs don’t get anywhere near that sort of cash for headline team sponsorship. Shows how daft Cook is to blow away CFS money. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grand Central 2,654 Posted May 11, 2019 It still is a little inconsistent for CFS to be still 'using' an image of Craig Cook on the front page of their own website and extolling their previous association with him to promote their business rather than updating the information with 2019 details instead. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope he has a great meeting tonight, as far as getting a Premiership team I think Craig`s reputation is beginning to go before him now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Equally you would think Craig would want to keep his current sponsors happy . Imagine you pumped a few grand into a rider who then got a couple of pictures in the national press, only to find your logo nowhere to be seen. But companies who have not paid anything this get national exposure. That all said The Daily Star sponsoring Team GB should hopefully mean we may get a few more inches coverage a bit more often... I think these days, newspapers will just look to see what photo they have in stock and go with it. It is very much the responsibility of clubs/riders to keep sending latest pics to the media.

On the Polish thread it was said all front wheels have to be 10cm away from the tapes.. And watching the racing out there, it is very strictly policed by the start marshall and ref.. No room for rollers, or 'twitching' as the tapes will be touched... Very rarely see a restart for tapes issues in Poland.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not convinced Phil, At the top level a decent start is a distinct advantage, on some tracks it practically guarantees you a race win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
