Ironic really seeing as they blindly defend one of there more experienced riders destroying another riders season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,451 Posted November 4, 2022 Long journey back but for the 50 odd Pirates fans it will pass quickly. Commiserations to Leicester. Spoke to Gary May but he said nothing he could do to stop the onslaught. Some great racing tonight on a very good track. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really hope both the Cook's get a place in the Prem next season, they deserve it. Especially Ben who has only been riding for Poole and no one else, so to get that form most of the season is amazing! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robinh88 571 Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) What a season Richard Lawson has had statistically and furthermore is on a steal of an average for next season. Well done Poole, I get confused with the modern politics of the sport. That being said they were the best team overall in 2022.

Though young riders do tend to push a bit further anyway. Nicki Pederson has never grown up then 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teromaafan 593 Posted November 4, 2022 Two many Cooks spoiled the broth for Lions tonight. Pirates seemed to want it more and deserved to win. Good night/good riddance British Speedway 2022. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cast1rn 478 Posted November 4, 2022 The Poole 5 were outstanding tonight the Cook Brothers were unreal and will definitely be back next season, unless anyone has crazy money to throw at Zach Cook on his average. I wonder if they stick with Nathan again on his average or swap in another 2 pointer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,662 Posted November 4, 2022 Ben Cook said in Star this week that he's already in discussions for a 2023 Prem place but has to get his visa sorted first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
