Would BWD be entitled to a reduction,,, has he not been out for a while due to injury?

I'm not sure ruff, Was he not injured during lockdown and not fit to ride ?

Broke a collarbone on 13 June 2019.  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.

I don't think Matty Wethers gets a reduction and he rode in the National League/Conference League, too.

Yep last one, they changed the rules after BWD so you needed a British passport to ride in NL from season after

BWD certainly didn’t have British citizenship this season either as Kent had agreed a deal with him to ride but couldn’t get the paperwork so signed Batchelor instead.

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 !!

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!
