Max Cook (born 9 December 2002)[1] is a professional road racer of solo motorcycles. In 2023, he rode in the British Superbike Championship with Cheshire Mouldings FS-3 Kawasaki.[2]

For 2021, he raced in the Pirelli National Junior Superstock Championship, earning status as rookie of the year in the championship with 8th place in the standings. He remained in the championship the following year with the Binch Racing Team, where he won the title by 50 points over Franco Bourne.[3] 2022 also saw him make a wildcard appearance at the final round of that year's British Supersport Championship in a collaboration between the Binch Racing Team and Carl Cox Motorsport.[4]

Cook had previously raced in the FIM CEV Moto3 Junior World Championship alongside fellow Briton Scott Ogden for the British Talent Team. He placed 25th at the end of his rookie season in 2019, before improving to a 13th-place finish the following year. In 2018, Cook was selected to compete in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup,[5] finishing his rookie 2018 season in 18th place. His second season in 2019 saw him end the season in 9th place, including a podium in race 2 of the Sachsenring round.[6]
