Anyone know why Doyle wasn't part of the 1st round of the Australian champs?  

 

Recuperat from an injury sustained in the GPs last season, so is sitting out the Aussie champs this year.

Might be sick of wasting thousands to get beat by lads on less equipment ,not worth the risk

Damn won't share 

Basically Adam has dislocated shoulder racing in Oz today.

Taller riders seem more susceptible to shoulder and neck injuries, and to then struggle if trying to carry on riding. Unless it's someone of exceptionally high ability, like Jason Doyle, if I were a promoter I'd pack my team with rubber ball types like Chris Harris

i said before the 2023 season that Keynan Rew has a lot of ability but also has a tendancy to crash a lot 

Well that certainly hasn’t been evidenced in his time at Ipswich so far, in fact he hasn’t looked remotely unstable. Slow out of the gate yes, but not erratic or error strewn.

glad he's better on the British tracks then, but when i've seen him abroad it's what i've noticed.

look at the updates for the Oz championship too

For those that might be interested there is an interview with Adam Ellis in the star this week a short summary is (edit actually its now last weeks WE 27th jan)

 

1/ He wasnt surprised to be ditched by Sheffield last season he felt things were going well on the continent but not in the UK for whatever reason. He even contemplated quitting the UK scene and focusing on the Polish league and other stuff.

2/ He suspects his GB call up for the WC was due to him riding in Poland -

3/ He is optimistic for the season ahead and is looking foward to riding for Pila and having Hans Nielsen as his TM. he is also keen to get going back at Ipswich - he also feels riding with Doyley and Emil will benefit him.

Foxhall should serve as a better home track for Adam I think, he’s had some very good meetings in the last few years and some indifferent of course.
 

One of best seasons was in the Swindon team with Doyle too so hopefully that can breed some confidence into him riding with Jason again. 

with our top 2 being so imperious home and away the pressure on the rest of the team is so much lower than in other years, no one really has to do more than the expected/capable to be in the playoffs, too many years the teams have been built lumping pressure on the likes of Danny to go out and be a top 1/5 and it’s just not a fair expectation of him

Let’s hope so - I saw him a couple of times at Owlerton last year and in one meeting if he gated he won fairly comfortably - in the other he was struggling badly.

So basically he is a gating tart
