26 August 2008
Team Appleyard/Macadam’s fifteen year old rider Deane Brown put in an excellent performance this weekend to finish seventh at the Cadwell Park round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship. Still building his confidence and speed following his bad leg injury earlier in the season, Deane arrived at Cadwell Park following a morale boosting 4th place in one of the two Red Bull Moto GP Rookies Cup races a week earlier at the Brno circuit in Czechoslovakia. After a steady start in practice, Deane posted second quickest time in wet qualifying and eventually started the Relentless British 125GP Championship race from 10th place on the grid.

Highs & Lows For Teenager
22 July 2008
Omagh teenager Nicole McAleer hit a high on Saturday during the opening qualifying session when on an extremely damp and tricky Oulton Park track, she scorched through the field to end up on a front row starting position, in fourth place. Her highest grid position to date. However the much hoped for rain failed to materialise during the final session late on Saturday afternoon, thus in the dry conditions McAleer was more than disappointed to qualify further down the field in 27th position.

McAleer Best Race this Season
18 June 2008
Following on from her brief test session at Mallory Park on Wednesday, Nicole McAleer and her SP125 Racing team noticed that her 125 Honda frame was bent, possibly due to her big off at Donington Park during qualifying. On discovering this problem the teenager was forced to change to a new frame and during the free practice sessions and the first qualifying session struggled with the feel of the new frame. She said; “it doesn’t feel like my bike! However after the final qualifying session on Saturday were she was happy enough to qualify in 24th on the grid, as she was feeling much more comfortable with her machinery at this stage and having gone more than a second quicker during the final session, she knew she would be able to improve during the race on Sunday.

Beech Boost for Team Appleyard/Macadam at Snetterton
16 June 2008
At the fifth round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship this weekend, Team Appleyard/Macadam rider Ashley Beech put in his best performance of the season by finishing 7th in the Fuchs-Silkolene British Supersport Championship race. Teammate Jordan Thompson also performed well, finishing 13th in the Relentless British 125GP class to equal his best result of the season. In earlier qualifying, the team had made key changes to the geometry of Ashley’s Yamaha R6 which vastly improved the ‘feel’ of the bike and gave him more grip. This translated into better mid corner and exit speed - vital through the ultra fast corners of the Snetterton circuit. Ashley eventually qualified in 8th place, just 0.6 seconds off the pole time, earning him a second row grid position.

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.
