SuperStarsFan91 Posted June 15 Report Share Posted June 15 5 minutes ago, StarBoy said: Not sure if it’s still a thing, but does he not need to ride in the UK to maintain his visa status? I’m sure it been mentioned that he’s living in Poole with Middleditch and to continue doing that he has to have a UK based job. Obviously at the minute being declared injured is bypassing that, but when he is fully fit surely he has to be riding for a UK club? Will be interesting to see what the situation with Pickering will be after he crashed today. Will Leszno put the squeeze on him as well, and play the game with Sheffield? Probably not, it seems to happen to King’s Lynn more than any other team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Speedway Control Bureau have received a medical certificate for Mr Cook ruling him out for a further 7 days as from the 15th June 2025.

Given that King's Lynn had already booked / announced a guest before Cook "re-injured" his wrist, the whole thing absolutely stinks! Also as Leszno won 60-30, if Cook was struggling with his wrist why did he go out in the nominated races?

If we could get a rider to replace him permanently then I definitely would!! I agree it stinks to high heaven! If you don’t want to ride for the Stars anymore then don’t, just let the club know ffs! He’ll leave us hanging on and hanging on then not come back, then we will be even more screwed than we already are! 😠 Edited June 15 by SuperStarsFan91 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also as Leszno won 60-30, if Cook was struggling with his wrist why did he go out in the nominated races? For clarity they had booked Kildemand weeks ago before Cook had even had a practice to see how his wrist was. But agree with the rest. He obviously wants to ride in Poland but not the UK at the moment and it's a good question why he had five rides today. He will clearly get banned if he rides in Poland again and then miss the next Lynn fixture after that (BV away on Monday 23rd). Lynn aren't at home for three weeks after tomorrow, I'm guessing he and Leszno don't want him to ride on the grippy Lynn track until then at the earliest. Bottom line though is if he has a doctors note after today then there's not a lot anyone can do. I really hope we see him again and it's not another Museilak situation as Ben comes across as a genuine and honest fella. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very different story to the post match summary from his Polish team manager who stated there was almost no sign of the injury and rhythm would return with more riding..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also know that they are bomb proof regardless of performance levels as there isn't anyone willing to come over and replace them.. As. If they were available they would already be here.. A nice little earner without any pressure to deliver the goods, unlike their other job... "It's much more fun and less pressured".... Indeed...

When BSN interviewed Ben at Poole recently he gave the same excuse of he'll try riding in Poland as the tracks are smoother/easier that Tobiasz Musielak used but Tobi actually got banned and then he never returned, probably will see the same thing here after the 7 days are up.

A what point does the finger need to stop being pointed at riders though?? There is a running theme at King's Lynn of struggling to hang on to rider's throughout a season. It's happening season in, season out. The running of British Speedway overall is appalling also. Because of the tight restrictions on team building, rider's can't build any loyalty to clubs so they're not given the opportunity to care. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
