Dickinson in the Points at Mallory
5 Days ago
Truck Links Yamaha rider, Joe Dickinson earned four valuable points at Round 6 of the Fuchs-Silkolene British Supersport Championship at Mallory Park today (29th June). A heavy rain shower caused dramatic scenes on the grid as the race director declared the race wet, holding the riders on the grid for 10 minutes to allow wet tyres to be fitted. Having made a flying start into eighth, Joe looked to improve on his eleventh place qualifying position. As the race progressed to a third of the way in a dryer line started to form and the full wet tyres started to go off. Joe lost his confidence in the wet front tyre and slowly started to slip back down the order to 12th to equal his season best place from Brands Hatch.

Gearlink Kawasaki Find it Tough at Snetterton
17 June 2008
Gearlink Kawasaki riders Chris Martin and Steven Neate suffered mixed results at Snetterton on Sunday in round five of the Fuchs/Silkolene British Supersport championship when both were forced wide to avoid a first lap tangle. But Chris Martin managed to get back on track and complete his race in a creditable eighth position while Steven Neate came back from 27th place on the first lap to finish a fighting 17th, just missing out on the points. Qualifying didn’t go as well as the team hoped and both Steven and Chris began their campaign from a fifth row grid position. As the race got underway both Gearlink Kawasaki riders were pushed wide. Chris Martin dropped to 15th place but soon recovered his composure and began to work his way back through the midfielders to join in a five-way battle for fifth place.

Mixed Results for AIM Yamaha at Snetterton
17 June 2008
AIM Yamaha experienced a differing set of results from the meeting at Snetterton on Sunday when Steve Plater took the win in the fifth round of the Fuchs/Silkolene British Supersport championship while Ian Hutchinson recorded a non-finish after pulling into the pits after just seven laps. The decision to switch classes for Snetterton was taken because the team had insufficient time to get the Superbike up and running after returning from the Isle of Man TT races and instead of pulling out of the meeting all together it was decided to let Plater join Ian Hutchinson in the highly competitive Supersport class.

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.

Riders James Westmoreland and Daniel Cooper gained a 10th and 19th place respectively in the 18-lap race.

Stunning Results for Centurion at Brands
13 May 2008
Not only was the weather stunning at Brands Hatch but as were the results from the Centurion Racing team. James Westmoreland and Dan Cooper secured two fantastic results in the rescheduled Fuchs-Silkolene British Supersport Championship at Brands Hatch, taking a fourth and 11th place respectively. Having already qualified at the beginning of April, before the race was abandoned due to heavy snow, the Centurion duo had put their Honda's in 12th, Westy and 20th, Cooper on the grid. The race initially was the opening round of the Championship and the two were struggling to get to grips with their new Pirelli tyres and therefore were unable to place themselves higher on the starting grid.
