Seeing as everyone missed the 2020 season, I doubt he'd get a reduction. He was also New Zealand Champion in 2020, so rode that year anyway. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think Matty Wethers gets a reduction and he rode in the National League/Conference League, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep last one, they changed the rules after BWD so you needed a British passport to ride in NL from season after Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah he put on social media that he failed the test that you have to get 70 percent I believe. I had a go myself online and as a British citizen I only got 68 percent !! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jason Crump got a further reduction for another year out(2020) even though he rode in Australian meetings just to fit him in for 2021! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
