Well, if the conversion rate is twice his PL average, it will be 9.34. Excellent signing regardless.

Hunter i was thinking it wud be is average he finished with last time he rode in the national league.

If that's the case, his CMA will be 8.90. Even better!

Jayne Moss has just confirmed its the higher of the 2 averages that Adam will have, so seems its 9.34 but i still expect him to improve on that, however Tony Mole will need someone like Ellis Perks down at the bottom end to compensate for a 9 pointer at the Top, with a 36 point max limit.

WOW!! Fantastic Signing, got to give Tony all the credit for pulling it as for me its a real statement of intent. Hes not only our number 1 but he might be the league number 1 as hes a great talent.

 

I saw Ellis ride at Perry Barr last season in the EL for Lakeside and he scored 10pts then and he more or less averaged 5 in the EL last year. Makes you wonder just what he will do in the NL next year, if hes on 9.34 then I wouldnt against him sticking a point or so on that.

 

Welcome to the Brummies Adam! :t:

Im guessing he has commited himself to Brum for the season, i think they have named him as Captain, but undoubtably he will be close to being No1 rider in the League not only for Brum.

 

Wont be long before a premier league club come calling and you will be left in the lurch.

Would be smarter to look for a rider that can double up.

Be interesting to see this lad's development. He cut his teeth at IoW which is as near as you get this side of the North Sea to a Long Track, and he rode a year and seems to have done quite well at Lakeside. Talk about two tracks that are like chalk and cheese. Still, it should aid the development of his skill set. Slightly concerned (wider perspective) as to why he was a sub-5-pointer and only a #7 in the PL last year and why none of the PL teams have beaten his door down for his signature this winter. I'd have hoped that this EL "Fast Tracking" would have brought him on further than that, and that he'd have gone on to make more progress at PL level this year. However, (narrower perspective) the system's loss could be Birmingham's gain, so good luck to the lad.

According to his dad, and i quote from Fb, "I looked at a photo the other day of Adam's first competitive ride on a 500 speedway bike. It was in the British youth championship at Eastbourne, July 2012…….. some people forget he's only been riding speedway a few years".

So basically 2014 was his 2nd full season of racing a Speedway bike, and to get a 4.67 in the PL in what was is 2nd season in the PL was decent progress, the PL reserve position as we all know was far harder than the Elite FT scheme in 2014. As to why PL Teams were not knocking his door down ? only they and Adam know the answer to that one. I will hazard a guess, and its only a guess, his dad was disapointed that due to rules he could NOT spend another season (2014) in the NL to gain more experience.

 

8.90 it is as confirmed by Phil on the Brummies forum :)

 

According to 2 Team managers in the NL Adam will be on The Higher of Adams 2 averages, 1 double his PL average which was 4.67 x 2 = 9.34 as a matter of interest only, his 2013 IOW average was 8.90. So it will be slightly tougher for Brum to Team build, but hey Adam Ellis is a fantastic prospect, and No doubt Phil Morris used his used his connection with Neil Vatcher (Lakeside) as Adam is a Lakeside asset, will we be seeing more prospects signed up from the British youth set-up ? who knows and who really cares? it certainly will keep other Teams on there toes during the close season.

Criminal that Ellis can't get a PL spot while there is foreign rubbish being allowed to ride on sub five/six/seven point averages.

 

Been the case for several years now, sadly.
