Cruel Injury Blow for Brown & Team Appleyard/Macadam
4 Days ago
Deane Brown, one of Britain’s brightest racing talents, left the Brands Hatch round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship in an ambulance yesterday as a badly broken right leg effectively ended his season. He will undergo an operation today to remove an existing plate and have a rod inserted which will mean he will be out of action for at least two or three months. The 15 year old has been in scintillating form this year on his Team Appleyard/Macadam 125 KR Seel machine in the Relentless 125GP British Championship taking pole at the last round at Oulton Park and also in the Red Bull Moto GP Rookies Cup where he currently lies in 4th position in the standings.

Michael Hill on His Way to Another Top 20
5 Days ago
Taboo Motorsport and its riders Michael Hill and Dan Moreton continued their early season form in the 3rd round of the British 125cc GP Championship at Brands Hatch earlier today. The grid for the 14 lap race was set at what should have been the opening round of the series so both riders used Saturday’s free practice sessions to further develop their 2008 machines. Both riders lapped over 1.5 seconds faster than when they originally qualified for the event.

No Luck for Team Appleyard/Macadam at Oulton Park
07 May 2008
Luck was in very short supply for Team Appleyard/Macadam who had a weekend to forget at the Oulton Park round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship. The only highlights in an otherwise totally frustrating weekend were Deane Brown claiming pole position and Jordan Thompson comprehensively topping the timesheets in the wet qualifying session on Sunday for the Relentless 125GP Championship race. After his strong performance at Thruxton, 15 year old Deane Brown was hungry for a podium at Oulton Park and gave himself the best chance of this by qualifying in pole position, clinching the top slot with two ultra fast laps right at the end of the session.

Team Appleyard/Macadam Primed for Oulton Action
30 April 2008
With the second round of the British Superbike Championship at Oulton Park just a few days away, Team Appleyard/Macadam is primed and ready for action. At the last round at Thruxton, Deane Brown led the GP125 race and was in contention for top honours but failed to finish so he is eager to make amends at the Cheshire circuit. With his season in BSB GP125 being mixed with a regular ride in the Red Bull Moto GP Rookies Cup, Deane is already having a busy season but is riding extremely well, especially considering that he has only just celebrated his 15th birthday.

Battling Harris Bounces Back & Promises an Upset
29 April 2008
Shane Byrne and Cal Crutchlow power into the Holiday Monday round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship on level terms but as they plan their tactics for riding the picturesque Oulton Park circuit they need to take check the form of both Michael Rutter and Karl Harris. Rutter excelled in the recent Thruxton round, bagging a pair of thirds on the North West 200 Ducati while Harris, still sporting the bruises from his heavy crash last time out, has a good record at the Cheshire circuit, recording his best ever Superbike result, second, there last July.

17 April 2008
On Sunday 20th April, the opening race of the 125GP Road Racing Italian Championship will be held on the historical track of Mugello.

Last year he only participated in a few races of the 125GP Road Racing Italian Championship as he was part of the Red Bull Rookies Cup, that brought him on the main European tracks and where he obtained a final second place thanks to a couple of victories, and a second position he obtained right here at Mugello. In 2007 he took part in four of the six Italian Championship races, making his debut in the opening race and immediately conquering a historical pole position, setting an important new record on the Mugello track.
