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. Repeating your erroneous statement doesn't make it any less wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve0 5,517 Posted February 4, 2021 2 hours ago, arnieg said: You are conflating two separate rules. 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. Individual meetings do not count towards averages so 2ndbendbeernut is not wrong - you are just not understanding what he is saying. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 2,253 Posted February 4, 2021 Could it also be said that as Crump signed a contract and was included in a premiership 1-7that his intention was to ride in 2020 so he technically shouldnt receive any further reduction for the 2020 season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Najjer 2,876 Posted February 4, 2021 His average has been reduced by 2.5% - has he qualified for a British Reduction maybe? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give Crumpy a big cheer for me. Good luck 82 - perhaps you will be able to stream the meetings...... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spl77 337 Posted February 13, 2021 I know there is a pandemic on and to honest any speedway is a bonus this year. However for the sport to move forward and thrive again this doubling up really needs raining in its now out of control. Good luck to Crumpy and the rest of the doubling up riders at least it keeps them busy without the need to ride overseas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thing is with only 6 teams the pl is a joke decent UK based riders need to be busy imo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel Smith 5,645 Posted February 13, 2021 I really don't understand why people have such a problem with doubling up. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
