Red Bull Rookies Oliveira's Stunning Double
30 June 2008
Miguel Oliveira won his second Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup race in 7 days. The 13 year old Portuguese rode superbly to pull through from 7th at the end of lap one to steal the lead from fast starting 15 year old German Daniel Kartheininger with three of the 16 laps remaining. Kartheininger then crashed leaving Sturla Fagerhaug to take second in a last corner fight with Matthew Hoyle who was third leaving Daijiro Hiura 4th. "I am so happy to score a second win in this Cup, I can hardly believe it," said Oliveira. "It was so hard early on. I didn't make a good start and we had a big battle with a lot of riders all trying so hard. When I managed to get through to second I just pushed and pushed to catch Dani. When I got in front I could see from the big TV screens that he was chasing me. I just went as fast as I could, I saw that he wasn't behind me on the last lap but I didn't know he had crashed."

Red Bull MotoGP Rookie Sturla Hangs Onto Pole
27 June 2008
In blustery conditions few improved their lap times in the final 30 minute qualifying session so Sturla Fagerhaug, Luis Salom, Daniel Kartheininger and Daijiro Hiura remain the front row for Saturday's Dutch round of the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup. Lying second in the Cup standings, JD Beach did better his time but the sixteen year old American was still frustrated to be in 7th place, less than 1.2 seconds off pole. "It just isn't really coming to me like it did earlier in the season. Then at the end I was on a pretty good lap and the engine cut out. Tomorrow I've just got to get away with the guys at the start and make a race of it."

Almost Half Way for Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup
28 May 2008
Half distance approaches in the 2008 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup with the 5th of 10 races held this weekend in Mugello. Just 8 points separate leader Luis Salom from JD Beach and they will be pressed hard by Daijiro Hiura, who beat them both in Portugal. Being only 13, Japanese ace Hiura had to miss the last round in France but is in action again at the Italian round with a good chance of putting his title attack back on track thanks to the rule that all riders must drop one result from their Cup points total at the end of the season. While he hopes for his second victory 16 year old American Beach is still looking for his first win after taking second in all 4 rounds so far.

Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup - Le Mans
16 May 2008
Luis Salom showed his determination to hang on to the lead in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup by heading practice for the French round at Le Mans today. The 16 year old Spaniard was chased hard by 17 year old Briton Matthew Hoyle and 15 year old German Daniel Kartheininger but sits on pole for Saturday's race. One of the few who did not actually improve on his first session qualifying time Salom was on a fast lap towards the end of the second session when he slid off unhurt. A sign perhaps that he was riding close to the limit and will not have things his own way in the race as most other riders improved their times on a track that is new to virtually all of them.
