what's the weather forecast for the Island this week ?

The problem for Adam just to get to a meeting involves a 1200km drive and a cross channel ferry. He relies on help from sidecar driver Tony Cook and ex islander ride Matt Read for help with accommodation driving etc. The meetings so far that he's done have been to gain experience and get himself known on the uk scene, after last weeks meeting had returned to Bordeaux at 7am the following day and will be leaving on Sunday to come back to the uk for the weeks meetings before returning to France for an international grass track the following week. September looks quite busy too with the last round of the U16 british championship, two meetings in France , the world 250cc grasstrack final in Germany, kings of speed grasstrack in Tonbridge and he's been invited to the U19 British speedway final in Sheffield ! I know Adam and his family, he has a talent for sure, he's even organising to finish his education by correspondence to fulfill his dream of riding professionally , if he can get a package for sponsorship/support organised, you'll be seeing a hell of a lot more of him next year

looks like he'll be back next week !

Adam Ellis 16 year old reigning French 250cc grasstrack champion, been riding for 3 years and, (believe it or not) last nights meeting was only his 5th speedway meeting ever. Born in Marmande, south west France to English parents, father was passenger, French champion and twice european finalist with Jacques Leduc in 500cc sidecars Lived in France all his life, Eastbourne U16 championship, which he won was his first UK speedway ride and he's been doing some 2nd halves at somerset and two meetings for the young hammers. Looking to get some kind of agreement/sponsorship package to be able to ride in the UK full time next season.

So who has adam signed for ?

Adam Ellis, the new island signing / young hammer ? He certainly is worth watching but as far as I know he hasn't signed with anyone yet
