I agree that it's good she gives fellow female riders someone to aspire too, but gaining a Champ team place has always been on the cards. If Katie Gordon had been scoring maximums every week in the NJL, then topping the NL averages, she'd have gotten a Champ place!

No team will refuse a woman who is better than the men, if it helps them win. They just need to reach a certain level first.

I would respectfully disagree. It takes something like this for other teams to sit up and take note. It’s a real shot in the arm.

As an unattached rider expect shes adapted to just changing in a van but now shes apart of an official league team within the Uk she has to be entitled to the same facilities as her team mates , its something completely new within british speedway and im sure her requirements will be met , would be a bummer if there made to provide something that costs the clubs then she got dropped from the team. 

As I said, she has been riding in leagues in Poland and Germany under contract as a team rider. I guess the solution is uncomplicated

she was quick on the day thats how you need to judge them  

we can only see how she does after a few meetings

 

She obviously wasn't very quick at 60.1

Great move for equality and promotion but sadly that's about it on her riding ability.

Her averages and times in the meetings and track time she has had are nothing good at all and if she was a he more questions would be asked signing a rider on a 4 point average where here past experience shows nothing of reaching that at all.

And times when riding pretty much on your own are irrelevant. Plus seeing the track for the very first time and riding on the outside is going to be much longer. 400m track on the outside.

The track is set up totally different on these days with 40+ heats. Heat times were also around this on the last home NDL meeting

Just real lazy comments

If you wanna compare times she went round Redcar in 57.5 two weeks later and that was quicker than any of Ashton Boughen’s wins that day

Boughen also had a league meeting later that day and just done the 4 laps basically. Compared to when he was there for Stuart robsons meeting where he was doing 56.0, if also using her times at Redcar she’s 2/2.5 seconds slower than a heat team there.

For a start when did I say I was excited about Cook signing and I'm stating a fact she wasn't very quick! Nugget
