Bagpuss Posted June 13, 2025 Report Share Posted June 13, 2025 We were able to interview Ben for the podcast this week, you can listen on the link below. I can see him getting a 28 day ban going forward if he rides on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like to me that he won’t be riding again in the UK this year, every time you asked him about possibly coming back to Lynn in the next few weeks he changed the subject 🤷🏻♂️ as much as he said he wanted to 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted June 15, 2025 Report Share Posted June 15, 2025 If you can ride in one place your can ride anywhere, ban deserved if it happens. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree that bans have to be handed out if riders appear in one league and not others but I'd also say that there is an enormous difference between riding at Lezno and Lynn if you have an injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben when interviewed at Poole last week said that riding in Poland is much different to UK,especially as his injury is not 100%.Banning him won’t really bother him IMO.Just helps his case if he wants away.

I'd agree with that. Better to test the injury on a slicker track first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id imagine the money is different . The cynic in me thinks it might end up the same as Tobi did. I know Tobi always said he wanted to come back, and that wasn't the case, but if Bens Polish team flex their muscles, it might end going the same way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperStarsFan91 Posted June 15, 2025 Report Share Posted June 15, 2025 Ben Cook scored 12 for Leszno today (3,3,1,2,3)… thoroughly deserved 28 day ban incoming for him more than likely, but I’m sure he won’t care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he comes back is another thing altogether. He came in as a 7 pointer (6.99), averaged 3.20 in his 4 meetings, and guests or RR has averaged 6.00 from 5 meetings. So combined under 5.. That's over a 2 point loss overall on his starting Ave. We don't seen to get much luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is disappointing but if he gets a 28 day ban (which he will) then we can’t afford to use guests or R/R, we probably won’t even have a facility anymore anyway so we need to replace asap, facility or not!

Aries Posted June 15, 2025 Report Share Posted June 15, 2025 (edited) What are the rules on a facility for a rider “withholding his services”? Is it a guest up to 75% of his average or is that rule for something else? I can’t remember. Edited June 15, 2025 by Aries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make it we would have 7.53 to replace him at the moment. But easier said than done of course. 4 minutes ago, Aries said: What are the rules on a facility for a rider “withholding his services”?
