Aye but that's a more important rider riding for two more important clubs... so I wouldn't hold me breath Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slightly different as Crump was on an assessed average after many years out, not on an injury reduction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Others were being critical of JC getting a “reduction”. My point was even his assessed averages were too high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tbh I don't know what average he should've been given, previously world class, but had missed many seasons! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He missed 11 years in British Speedway but was given an assessed average of 8.25 for 2020. He was then given a further 0.25 reduction to 8 to fit him in to ride in 2 British leagues. Based on that, he would have been assessed about 9-9.25 for missing 7 years. But again, no body else got a reduction for missing 2020! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thought crumps average was 6.93 so would not fit unless he has got it lowered again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
