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.

Lasp Gasp Pole For Kirkham
05 May 2008
Jon Kirkham stole pole position and £250 from Ben Wilson's clutches as a dramatic qualifying session for the third round of the The Henderson Yamaha R1 Cup drew to a close at Oulton Park (4 May). Gary Mason headed the timing sheets at the end of the earlier 25-minute Free Practice session. Veteran Superbike rider, Sean Emmett had stolen into an early lead posting a successive string of laps in the 1:54s bracket. However, with the rain diminishing, and a relatively dry line forming, Mason upped the ante to post a time of 1:50.862s on the ninth of his ten laps.

The Season Starts in Anger at Thruxton
19 April 2008
Nineteen riders will battle for strong qualifying positions once again this weekend (19-20 April), as the Henderson Yamaha R1 Cup looks to finally cut its teeth on the British racing scene at Thruxton in Hampshire. Sean Emmett drew first blood at his home round of Brands Hatch a fortnight ago, setting the pace early on from former British Superbike rivals Jon Kirkham and Gary Mason. However, the dark horse of the round proved to be former double British Supermoto Champion, Sam Warren. The 25-year old qualified in third position and will look to replicate that strong display round the super-fast 2.356mile circuit.
