Expand 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 !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Expand 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!

Expand 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!
