Tom B has made most of his progress riding at No3, protected by two exceptional one and fives who went head to head against their opposite numbers several tines per meeting, and, invariably, heat fifteen... The fact they remained one and five shows their top level capability... Tom was very honest post the GB GP's as to where is he, and that is a long way off the level of a No1, even in a depleted league... No 1's of Kurtz, Fricke, J Holder and Lidsey, are Polish top tier HL's, so, no idea why anyone would consider Tom to be of that level.. Especially considering he even is struggling to hold down a Polish tier two position..  

It's not the fact Cook isn't interested. This is always such a misconception. He just doesn't have the technical ability to ride a track that isn't massive and like a road.   It's that simple.

You old cynic Iain, you won so you must be happy lol 

Absolutely agree. Looked totally uninterested most races and if I was a Lynn fan I would not be happy. Zero commitment, let him earn his corn in Poland and get a replacement in. Must be costing Lynn a bomb. 

Because buster cannot prepare a track to any decent standard anymore 

Can't remember where i read it or who said it but was mentioned on another thread on here, could all be rumours tho.
