Wolverhampton’s Zach Cook wins final ever traditional Olympique
Wolverhampton’s Zach Cook was the winner of the Club’s final ever traditional Olympique individual event at Monmore Green.
Even with the unique handicap racing system in place, the Aussie accumulated 11 points from his programmed outings, winning two of his five rides. And in the Grand Final, his reactions worked superbly as he hit the front before fending off a late charge from team-mate Rory Schlein. Fellow Wolf Luke Becker finished last in the final with Belle Vue’s Tom Brennan recovering from a fall in his opener to win three of his next outings before securing a rostrum finish.
The final ever meeting at Monmore Green is set to take place next Monday with the regular Wolves side taking on a team of riders who have past connections with the club.
