John Leslie Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 On Adam Extance's facebook he say's he's been released by Buxton and has been forced to find another club. He's posted a photo of himself in a Cradley race jacket. This poses the questions:- Who have Buxton signed to allow them to kick Extance out? Who are Cradley kicking out if they're going to accommodate him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 A replacement for Mike Neale no doubt straight in at reserve should bag some points. Although a track like Birmingham wont suit Extance very well as a gater he may find he doesn't perform in the larger heats. 3. Adam Extance - 2 , 0 , 1 , 3 = 6 Heat 03: Wajtknecht, Extance, Banks, Blacklock 4-2 12-6 Time: 63.16Line Up: R/R - Wajtknecht, Banks, Extance, BlacklockComments: Wajtknecht is for rider replacement.Wajtknecht tried to make a decent start, but Blacklock takes the lead, Wajtknecht takes 2nd, Extance 3rd and Banks 4th. Wajtknecht is pushing hard for the lead and takes it into lap 3, Extance 2nd, Banks 3rd, Blacklock falls and rejoins the race at the back.Heat 07: Wajtknecht, Blacklock, Perry, Extance 4-2 25-17 Time: 63.25 Line Up: Perry, Wajtknecht, Extance, BlacklockComments: Wajtknecht takes the lead, Blacklock 2nd, Perry 3rd and Extance 4th. Perry pushes hard but Blacklock just holds on to 2nd.Heat 10: Race Awarded: Ellis, Wajtknecht, Extance, Blacklock - Fell / Excluded 5-1 35-25Line Up: Ellis, Wajtknecht Kirby, Extance, BlacklockComments: Wajtknecht replaces Kirby. Good start made by Ellis and takes the lead, Wajtknecht 2nd, Blacklock 3rd and Extance 4th. Ellis is pushing out far in the lead. Blacklock falls at the end of lap 3 from 3rd. Race Awarded. Blacklock gets back up and walks back to the pits.Heat 12: Extance, Holt, Parker, Wilson 1-5 39-35 Time: 60.75Line Up: R/R - Parker, Wilson, Extance, HoltComments: Parker is for rider replacement.Extance takes the lead, Holt 2nd, Wilson 3rd and Parker 4th. Wilson lost power on the backstraight of lap 1 which allows Parker to take 3rdFrom those comments he was gifted 2 points and actually he only beat reserve riders.

berniev123 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Nathan is on a 7+ so I would have thought that it was Mikey. May be wrong but putting Adam in and with the GS for July it would actually give us a bit of a boost! Depends how long the signing is for.......July?...............August????????????

Sings4Speedway Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 All seems slightly strange? Was Adam released from Buxton based on performances or did he ask to leave? Had Cradley sounded him out first or was it just a very swift move? If it is an official move? Would be odd if he chose to leave as im certain as soon as Neale is fit he will be back in and Extance will have burnt his Buxton bridges.

Islander15 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Extance leaving is true and he was dropped, he didn't quit. Edited July 2, 2015 by Islander15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie65 Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 All seems to be quiet on both Cradley and Buxton's web-sites, anyone know what's happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy2706 Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Some of us have been led to understand that Adam is suffering from an injury rendering him unfit to race. If this is true, it is a great shame. Certainly at Buxton's last home meeting he appeared to be considerably less than comfortable. His loss to Buxton, if indeed he has departed, is a real tragedy, as he is an excellent prospect for the future. I love watching at Buxton, but in recent years have always had a nagging feeling that I am watching a team that is a rider short... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJ81 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Update on Facebook from Adam Extance is that he had to withdraw from last nights meeting while gusting for Cradley due to excessive knee pain despite wanting to ride on until his knee surgery. He will be taking the rest of the season to rest and get fixed up All the best to him and hope he can come back next year 100% fit! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy2706 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Come back for whom? The club that had his best interests at heart, or the one that thought they could pull a stroke? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJ81 Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'm not sure how Cradley could have "pulled a stroke"? The only rider he could replace would be Mike Neale who has been doing very well and is very well thought of by fans and club alike, as far as I can see. Mike is due back in a few weeks time so I don't see what Cradley had to gain, though I'll admit I am not up with all the rules and whether him being unattached would have any significance while Mike was out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy2706 Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Stroke or not, it didn't seem to be a very successful manouvere for rider or club did it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete cc Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 I think some people are looking to have a dig at Cradley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS50 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Slightly off topic, but does anyone know a Post Code for somewhere near the Buxton track (for Sat Nav). Once I get somewhere near will be able to find the track. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
