Rain Washes Out Ulster GP Practice
14 August 2008
Following on from his successful Ulster Grand Prix meeting last year, Hydrex Bike Animal Honda rider Guy Martin was hoping to get back in the swing of things after a less than successful season but once again, the great British summer had other ideas.

Following on from his superb podium finish at the same track back in May, Hydrex Bike Animal Honda rider James Ellison repeated the feat when he took the 1000cc Shaun Muir Racing Honda Fireblade to another second position at Oulton Park in Cheshire today.

TT Superstock Podium for Martin
03 June 2008

Record Breaker Martin Denied Debut TT Victory
02 June 2008
26 year old Lincolnshire rider Guy Martin was denied what looked a certain victory when he was forced to retire from today's Dainese Superbike TT in the latter stages.
