Warren Claims Pole At The Death
15 June 2008
Sam Warren took a sensational debut pole position ahead of the fifth round of the Henderson Yamaha R1 Cup at Snetterton in Norfolk yesterday. An initially wet track deemed all the competitors to use a full wet Metzeler tyre choice for the 25 minute session. As the track quickly began to dry the name at the top of the time sheet changed place numerous times, swapped between no fewer than seven riders. Championship leader Jon Kirkham, dominant over the past few rounds, left his charge for pole until late on, as Mason, Nutt, Emmett and Cooper made their marks at the head of the field. However, Kirkham's luck ran out as he made a final charge after the flag, crashing out at the fast right hand Coram corner.

Supermoto To Superbike Star Sam Signs In!!!
07 June 2008
As the third annual ten pin bowling challenge for the Chris Jones Riders Fund approaches on Monday June 23rd, this years sensation of the BSB paddock Sam Warren has confirmed his attendance. Former multiple British Supermoto Champion and World SM campaigner impressed so much on a Superstock bike at a Donington test in the autumn of 2007 that he was snapped up to ride for Dean Thomas’ fledgling Mission racing team for this year. Unfortunately, finances prevented the team from running as planned but Sam was entered in the Hendersons R1 Cup. His performances in his rookie year have been sensational, the pinnacle being at Oulton Park. He is now also in British Superstock for the rest of the season and will no doubt be raising a few eyebrows there!
