Speedway: Adam Ellis ready to show what he can do after European Speedway Championships call-up UK News

The reigning British champion qualified for the European Speedway Championships this weekend which he said was one of his hidden goals for this year.

It’s another proud addition to Ellis’ resume and it’s certainly lifted his spirits as the Tru Plant Tigers prepare to return to action.

They travel to King’s Lynn tomorrow (7.30am) before hosting Ipswich at Owlerton on Monday (7.30am).

Ellis said: “We have two big meetings coming up and we want to get something out of each of them.

“It’s easier said than done with the strength of the league this year and we know we’ll all have to be in there if we want to do it.

“King’s Lynn may have lost their last home meeting, but there are still a lot of riders who are fast on their own track.

“So we know it will be tough, but there’s no reason why we can’t go out there and get something, even if it was just a point for the league.

“So it will be good to get back to Sheffield on Monday; we haven’t had a solid run of home meetings so far this season, so it’s kind of like you always go back and hit reset.

“But we dug deep against Wolves last time out and we know what we can do if we all do our homework.

“Obviously they have a former world champion in Doyley (Jason Doyle) and there are some former Sheffield riders like Danny (King) and Batch (Troy Batchelor) so we know they will come and give us a run for it. twist… so if we’re not careful.

“I’m looking forward to these two meetings, especially after the weekend which was quite important for me.

“After becoming British champions last year, I kind of saw this as the next step.

“There are a lot of good drivers involved and it might just be a mini-series, but it’s still competitive and it’s still a major thing to be involved in.

“Obviously I’m over the moon – now it’s up to me to go out there in each of the rounds and show what I can do.”
