PERFECT NIGHT FOR BRITS

Sunday July 02, 2017
CAPTAIN Craig Cook hailed his side’s performance at King’s Lynn as Great Britain look forward to next weekend’s World Cup Final.

Cook led a rock-solid GB effort in the first round of the competition, setting the marker for five successive race wins at the start of the meeting by overhauling Australian rival Troy Batchelor in Heat 1.

And when their main opponents threatened to get back into contention thanks to a joker ride from top man Chris Holder, all four of the British riders won their outings in the fourth block of races.

Cook, with 14 points, dropped just one point from his five rides with Steve Worrall, Chris Harris and Robert Lambert all scoring 13 – Worrall securing GB’s place in the Final with three races to spare, as they finished nine clear of Australia with the USA third.

Cook said: “We can all ride this King’s Lynn track really well. We hit them hard from the get-go and we were out there to prove a point and make a statement.

“That’s what we did. We set the tone for the whole meeting and kept it up.

“We’re not going there (to Poland) to win a medal. We’re going to win. What’s the point of looking to finish second? We just have to believe.”
