Not if you ask BWD it's not

Take what riders say with a pinch of salt… apparently Richie Worrall didn’t take any drugs but failed a drugs test haha.

I thought he done an interview in the speedway star recently stating his average was still the one he had with Newcastle and he was stuck with that? He was awful for us mind. Haven’t got the figures at hand but I’d be surprised if he’s even averaged above 6.50 in all his time in the championship. 

From (a poor memory!) he only rode in one match for us, in the Tyne Tees Trophy leg at Redcar, scoring just the single point from three rides.

His averages are (all leagues): 2016 Somerset (35 matches) 6.26, Poole (1 match) 1.33. 2017 Peterborough (28 matches) 6.34, Swindon (26 matches) 5.57. 2018 Somerset (26 matches) 5.57, Peterborough (16 matches) 7.14, Workington (3 matches) 7.76. 2019 Peterborough (13 matches) 6.37. 2022 Newcastle (1 match) 1.33.

What is wrong with the track?

It looked like Covatti hit a post down the straight, didn't look like there was any fence from camera angle. Would be interested to hear other peoples views.

Who else is there though? Plymouth have depth to their reserves and second strings. So prob don't need an out and out No1. Just someone who can get 7-8 points a meeting?

There was fence all the way down the back straight and what looks like polyfoam barriers on the bends. Albin slammed into Covatti, Covatti hit the fence and was bounced off his bike and then it looks like he was run over by Albin. I don’t see any of it being to do with the track.

My viewpoint, as I'm unable to Like your post is exactly the same.

Could Albin do anything to avoid what happened ?

I doubt it.

Bradley Wilson-Dean’s last Championship average is 6.00 from 2018.

However, his 2019 Premiership average of 5.47 converts to 8.205, hence why it would be 8.21.

Wouldn’t he get his average looked at due to not been in the Championship for a few years ??  , ps is he still beaded in the midlands

He started the 2022 season (rumour was he was already injured and would not be riding much), so why would he get a reduction?  Certainly shouldn't get a reduction from the 8.21 he started with (and therefore finished with) at Newcastle, to "around 6".

Janowski has been reassessed though hasn’t he? Not saying it’s right but one rule for one.
