Tom and Leon are just local "Meeting reserves". SGP will try to get someone there if he's not already there in situ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Lebedevs is there (without bikes presumably on way) he would take Adams place. He'd be deemed to be signed in for practice. I'm not sure there is a requirement to actually practice. If he's not there (Lebedevs), I'm not sure if Brennan would take Adam place or whether Tom and Leon would just split Adam's rides. Someone with more knowledge will know.

HGould 2,213 Posted August 13, 2022 On m5 and just realised the ferral zombie half of brum are playing Cardiff today 12.30pm kick off. Brilliant planning that from someone. They will be loose in the city and blind drunk at around 3pm...headin for pubs no doubt! The ferral lot of brum who shame the city v Cardiff who are equally idiotic. Word of advice, if they approach - ignore, keep stum and head in the other direction! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,784 Posted August 13, 2022 In that case if Ellis is injured I hope he does quarter of a lap in his first ride then pulls out so that Brennan and Flint can have a couple of rides each. If a WC gets injured in the lead up to a GP the hosting country should be able to nominate another one. Anyway I hope Adam is OK and can ride. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although he wouldn’t replace the GB wildcard anyway. Step forward Chris Harris !!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Islander15 1,065 Posted August 13, 2022 Hasn’t the meeting officially started at this point, with the practice being yesterday? So the reserves will take Ellis’ rides. It’s a shame either way with such a fuss being made about who should be the WC and thenEllis gets his opportunity only to get hurt. If he rides, he was bound to struggle anyway and yesterday’s fall will only put him even more off the pace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Technik 491 Posted August 13, 2022 I might be speaking out of turn here, But as I see it Adam Ellis was signed prior to practice & received an injury after an on track incident. The result is that he is signed on for the event & can only be replaced by another that is signed on which would be either of the track reserves. I don't think the SGP reserves would be eligable as they are not signed on for the SGP event only SGP2. I understand that Ellis wants to be in the GP but I don't think it's a good idea to ride with such an injury. I would hope he withdraws if it is a fracture & allow another young Brit the chance of a full 5 rides at Cardiff. I don't want to see him come out & do half a lap & collapse in pain on the back straight & the reserves share his remaining races or worse that he has another crash & possibly hurts others Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would also make a lot of sense from Adam's sponsors' view. They would at least get some tv publicity. I'm sure Adam would have a few new sponsors and spent on machinery and equipment upgrades so at least they would get something out of it. Hope he is fit enough to at least start the meeting.
