slim24 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I don't think anybody has been dropped, I think Mark Baseby is unavailable this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMW Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) My first visit to the IOW hopefully not the last you have a great set up down there. A briliant meeting with some good racing both teams were unlucky with engine failures and a couple of falls for the Hitmen. I have to say Adam Ellis, don't know much about him apart from he lives in France. was ceratinly a great guest for the IOW. From http://www.buxtonhitmen.co/ ISLE OF WIGHT 49 BUXTON 44 Tuesday July 31, 2012 NATIONAL LEAGUE Isle of Wight 49: Danny Warwick 11, Ben Hopwood 10, Aaron Baseby 9+1, Adam Ellis 8+2, Danny Stoneman 5+2, Kyle Hughes 4, Paul Starke 2+1 Buxton 44: Charles Wright 15, Robert Branford 10+1, Adam McKinna 7, Luke Priest 6+1, Chris Widman 3+1, Ryan Blacklock 2, Dean Felton 1+1 Edited August 1, 2012 by TMW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jef Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Well done Danny Warwick, Ben Hopwood Aaron Baseby and Adam Ellis good solid home performances, A positive return for Dan Stoneman with a good win in the reserve race. Kyle hughes had an off night which is a shame after his great performance last week against Dudley. What is wrong with Paul Starkes bikes? When his bikes are running well he rides like a heat leader but he has had very few meetings without mechanical problems! His equipment looks good and he has an experienced mechanic, such a shame as he should be one of our top riders not down at reserve!

Jonny the spud Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 What a FANTASTIC performance from Adam Ellis - the lad has won his first EVER Speedway meeting in the UK, the U-16s at Eastbourne; followed that up by winning the next round at Scunny too; and here in only his second ever NL match, scores paid ten...! Simply brilliant,, well done mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slim24 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Ellis does appear to be quite the find at the moment, fully deserved all points he got on Tuesday, rode very well, there isn't many riders that will go round the inside at smallbrook, but he was more than willing to try the line and it worked on a couple of occasions. Would be nice to have him back for a couple more meetings, given the mechanical issues we seem to be continuing to suffer from, if that's not possible, then thanks for your efforts Adam and all the best for what appears to be a very bright future.

Brought up on the (basically) Long Tracks of France, Adam was always going to find Smallbrook to his liking. But then again he won his first meeting over here on a tiddler at Arlington!!

greyhoundp Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 To be honest, the Heathens meeting was a difficult one to judge any Islander rider on, The Heathens were on fire, and The Islanders had machine gremlins pretty much throughout the whole Team at some point. Adam was well on the pace, not overawed, and for a rider of his youth and inexperience, he did very well, and i would never have guessed it was his first meeting, and i did think at the time he would be worth a place for the remainder of the season, its not before time the Islanders unearthed another gem. The Heathens are in town again, is it next week in the KO Cup, I feel sure it will not be another 60 point win for The Heathens, in fact i could see The Islanders reversing the result, if not the scoreline, will i be tempted down again ?, it depends entirely on the weather, and i would suggest anyone in the area go along and watch what i forsee being a very entertaining meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
