Actually Ulrich had his best season that year and was about to go to number 1, also Tofty was riding with a broken finger for the final. The replacement for Ulrich was Cookie and I believe he only scored approx 5.

Yes no other teams get injuries  Ipswich lost Doyle and free scoring reserve in Dan T in 2023  We also lost Doyle Emil and Rew in 2024 One rider is easy to replace … 2 or 3 much more difficult 

You can give feedback on the ITVX coverage here https://help.itv.com/support/tickets/new?ticket_form=viewer_services_-_let_us_know_your_feedback Select  "Viewer services - let us know your feedback"  and "Let us know which programme you are contacting us about" if you start typing "Speedway" it will come up, and you can leave your comments.   Also I'm told it boosts the viewing figures if everyone logs into ITVX and just watches even for a few minutes  

And they lost Hans in the first leg with ahead injury so was not allowed to take part in the return leg. Sadly Peterborough is another great track that has been lost.

And the way the sport is set up in the UK, with the RR and Guest system, it reduces the impact of injuries significantly, even to the point of actually improving the team!!.. Injuries, and good and bad luck, are part and parcel of all sports... S*it happens... There's hardly any major prize at stake, with each season pretty much rinse and repeat from that perspective, so I am sure fans of clubs suffering some "bad luck" will find a way to get over it without too much trauma..😉

With all due respect to Ulrich I'm not sure those two absences can be compared and in essence his absence unlimately made P'boro stronger IMO.
