dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,693 Posted February 4, 2021 For Ipswich it's not unusual to give a couple of young Brits ago - whilst for some others they have always seemed to see it as an inconvenience..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandelion 775 Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) How come Jason Crump's average has gone from 8.21 last week to 8.00 this week? Conveniently to drop Ipswich JUST under the average limit? 1. Jason Crump 8.00 2. Jordan Stewart 4.00 3. Danny King 6.66 4. Cameron Heeps 6.30 5. Nicolai Klindt 7.43 6. Anders Rowe 3.00 7. Drew Kemp (3*) Total: 35.39 Edited February 4, 2021 by Dandelion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some CL teams have 2 or 3. The crucial bit is that you have to have one at No 7 in 2021 and two at 6 and 7 in 2022. They have to start at 7 but if their actual average increases they move up and down the team You have to signify one as your Rising Star at start of season that's all. Ipswich have no doubt decided that tactically Kemp is at this stage a better rider to have at No 7 than Rowe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I am aware, I was trying to point out to other people that a team can have as many rising stars as they like, the more the better tbh, but one of them has to be at 7 and the other can fit wherever their average dictates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A rider that hasn't ridden for a period of time (not just 1 year away) gets their average reassessed. So in Crump's case he was reassessed at 8.21 for having many years away for the 2020 season. As its been an extra year away his average now gets another reduction. Paul Hurrys average for the 2020 season would have been more than for 2021, Bjarne Pedersen the same.

Travel to Europe is allowed and sports professionals are allowed and they will have been tested in Poland beforehand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BP and Crump have both been away long enough to get reassessed, but don't qualify for an additional reduction for missing a year. Most obviously Crump rode in the British Final last year and Bjarne has ridden every season since he left Poole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebv 10,238 Posted February 4, 2021 Maybe it's so Jason can ride in the Championship on a 12.00 average..? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most obviously Crump rode in the British Final last year and Bjarne has ridden every season since he left Poole. Both have not ridden in a British league for a number of seasons. Crump's 8.21 ave was given for not competing since 2009, (10 years away) so a further reduction was given as he has now missed 11 years. Pedersen on the other hand has just not ridden in the UK, so his 2021 starting ave could actually be reassessed to a higher or lower figure. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
