Not fan of Ellis, a gater as far as Im concerened. If I remember correctly his efforts in (2019) Ht15 were less than exemplary, dont give us much chance if it comes down to last ht deciders. Most impressive rider in my opinion was Bulls no.4 15 yr old Freddie Hodder, quick, smooth and in control, pity hes signed for Belle Vue, certainly one to watch. Might go to leics even though Morley is riding, at least there's no dog track and you can stand on the exit of bend 2. Ellis and Nielsen had to be at Sheffield for 2pm for their Press and Practice day which was unfortunatly arranged before the Brummies announced their P&P plans for the same day.

Looking at Adam Ellis's record in heat `15 appearances for last season for Sheffield. Home 8 appearances 2 occasions winning the race 4 occasions finishing 2nd ( 3 were paid wins) 2 occasions finishing 4th Away 7 appearances 3 occasions winning races 2 occasions finishing 2nd 2 occasions finishing 4th Very nearly a 50% record for either win or paid win, I would say that was not too shabby. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That surely means Shanes at #2, that doesn't bode well, by the time the track is to his liking all his programmed rides will have been completed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His sheffield results dont affect the Brummies And I am pointing out that his results more recently than what you are. Add to the fact that he won the British title beating arguably the best rider in the Premier League on his own patch. The Adam Ellis that rode 2019 was a much improved rider in 2021. Lets face it who else of that quality could have Birmingham have signed. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaizer 2,863 Posted March 23, 2022 Might've been tempted run Claus and auty at 1 and 2 at home. Morris and Shanes can look after themselves there and gives a strong pairing with no pressure on the top 2 after time out from sport. Not b'ham fan just an observation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heathen52 384 Posted March 23, 2022 I have to say that in all the years LR has been a team manager this is probably the best 1 to 7 he has ever assembled, It just needs Brum to have a reasonable season with regards being injury free and they should make the play offs, the comments about AE being a gater are probably correct but tell me how many top riders cant gate and when Adam does gate how many catch and pass him ?. Their is certainly improvement in this team points wise if they can add some consistency especially in the lower middle order. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,023 Posted March 23, 2022 This would be my choice of riding order: 1. Claus Vissing 2. James Shanes 3. Josh Auty 4. Ashley Morris 5. Adam Ellis 6. Stefan Nielsen 7. James Pearson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bringbackHalifax 238 Posted March 23, 2022 I hope this is genuine and not a fudge. Think this is a stop gap, and Ellis not around in a few weeks time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
