COOK IN SHOCK STARS EXIT

KING’S Lynn have sensationally axed No.1 rider Craig Cook after Thursday’s home hammering by Wolverhampton.

Cook scored two points in the Stars’ 32-58 defeat which was their worst result on their own circuit for almost exactly 19 years.

The club management said: “There is no fallout with Craig and we sincerely wish him all the very best for the season ahead.

“We want Craig to go away and become the Craig we know he can be. He’s a great rider, but sometimes you have to make decisions which you feel are right for the club and for the rider.

“We will be finalising his replacement overnight and updating supporters accordingly.”
