  1. Adam managed to score at wolves, were the races easier there ?
  2. I've done it 5x over the years, he's made of strong stuff.
  3. Or maybe just wait and see if it's Adam ?
  4. That's because up until midday on the day it was announced talks were still going on between 2 teams. But as you appear to know more than me I'll now to your superior knowledge. What was the other team again ?
  5. It's funny how people are "advised" without knowing the full facts but love to give their opinion anyway. i've been sitting opposite Adam and seen stuff online that someone "in the know" had "reliably been informed" about that was pure fiction and we've laughed over it. Remember, what you've been told / read is nine times out of ten opinion and not fact. All these offers over riders/clubs/money/sponsorship/ are between the riders and clubs and mostly don't come off because of clashes of calenders / international commitments etc, but that doesn't stop people putting 2 and 2 together and making 5 Now you know why I only come on here once in a blue moon …..… I'm out of here
  6. Once again the money situation is mentioned by people who don't know , Adam neither asked for or was offered any more than last year at Birmingham, ( which was less than some other NL no1's were /are on). Dugard's asked him to help, he's eligible, it's short term and the racing fits in with his fixtures. Why shouldn't he ride ? If you're going to use the "he's far too good" excuse you may as well say let's stop anyone playing football against Lionel Messi. Young riders need track time (whatever their level of development, Adam included ) and someone / something to aspire to. You never stop learning, no track time is wasted.
  7. Think you don't know Adam at all if that's your opinion.
  8. Friend of mine looked in today …. Diggers everywhere. Hope it's on, normally i'd have booked a flight to the UK to see this but not going to take the risk.
  9. Another paid max last night, just sayin ..
  10. Because last year he was picked by lakeside in the draft which ruled out 4 of the PL offers he'd had. He did have others at various points throughout the season but he'd given his word to Birmingham and didn't want to drop them in the poo. This has been mentioned by Graham Drury and Tony Mole. This year he wanted to concentrate at the start of the year on getting his set ups right in the EL and ride open meetings in Europe, (he'd already turned down other NL offers) why did he choose to help Eastbourne out ? why don't you ask him, he doesn't bite. I'll be seeing him this week when I come over and will probably do the same.
  11. why does everyone keep going on about £££££££'s, he wasn't offered or asked for any more than last year, ( which was equal to other NL No1's) you are naive !
  12. If only there was a way for those of us who live abroad to pay a subscription and see selected heats / whole meetings. Just think of the interest / money it could bring in, maybe even attracting other sponsors to the sport ?
  13. Sorry to piss on anyone's fireworks, as it's already started on the " Ellis is only in it for the money ". Adam hasn't asked for or been offered any more than last year. ( not that it will stop the online speculation )
  14. i put it down to another years experience, getting better year on year and being happy in his set up / situation. But that's just my opinion, you'd have to ask him. ( I wasn't there last night, hoping to be in uk for the U21 final)
  15. Adam has bought another Engine from Doyle but so far has only tried it out in pre season training once at Somerset. He's still got last years engines which are looked after by Dave Broome.
  16. watching heat 12 last week on here was the only chance i've had to see Adam ride in Poole colours until I can get over to the UK. shame that'll be denied now
  17. NL riders on £50 a point ? Adam Ellis ( one of last years top NL boys) wasn't even on that…. !
  18. Neither did Adam until the day it was announced, two teams were possible.
