Would be one of the first names in their teamsheet for me along with other assets Bewley and Lidsey. What I find odd is everyone falling for the hoax story of Ellis to BV, just because he's been seen in the GP pits a coupe of times with Bewley. I can see Ellis at Ipswich. Ellis won't be at BV as he doesn't have the speed for the NSS. Edited October 29, 2023 by RoundTheBoards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think they are. Consider Ellis's last 2 years' form around the NSS. League & Play offs. 0,3,1,2 =6 0.1',0,1 =2+1 2,2,0,3,1 =8 0,0,0,2 =2 0,2,2,1',0,1' = 6+2 NSS AVERAGE = 4.17 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MP78 17 Posted October 28, 2023 I’m surprised that no one picked up on Doyle giving him a lift recently… surely on that basis his is Foxhall bound?… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arch Stanton 2,255 Posted October 28, 2023 If it’s 40 points, Ellis for Riss fits with the others returning from this year. Could also squeeze in Barker for Hume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The BF apart obviously... But, no disrespect, to win the BF you are not racing against any overseas top talent, just your own level of rider (Dan apart)... If the Aces sign him I presume it will be to strengthen away? But, to be honest, I would keep Charles Wright as decent away and, can be, box office at home... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you’re starting with a blank canvas then sure, but just going off the Ellis rumour it leaves 4.16 for a sixth rider IF the limit is confirmed at 40 for six riders at the AGM. Emil, Doyle, King, Ellis, Rew leaves a 4.16 gap. Personally I’d take Barker over Hume (both fit) all day long. Looking at the Green Sheets, only options appear to be Rowe, Kemp, Hume and Barker. Who would you go for? Let’s not forget Barker is popular with the management here, apparently he’s great in the pits and is a good team man. He’d soon swap with Rew after the first set of averages and I think he’d score decent enough points at reserve. Edit: This is the Belle Vue thread not Ipswich, apologies.
