No he wasn`t unbeatable. He was nearly unbeatable He was beaten into third place by Magnus Zetterstrom the Poole rider.
Leigh Adams beat him the same year plus many many more.
Wasn`t that the time that they brought in the new rule you could only have two riders above eight point average and Coventry had three ! don`t think it was so much about the points limit. but hey I might be wrong.
