Impressive Martin Scores Well at Cadwell
26 August 2008
Hydrex Bike Animal Honda rider Guy Martin bounced back to something like form with a pair of solid points scoring rides in front of another massive bank holiday crowd in round nine of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship at Cadwell Park. With team mate James Ellison sidelined due to a training injury caused the previous week when motocrossing in Spain, it was left to the 27 year old from Kirmington to uphold the team's honour at his local circuit. Despite the handicap of a row six start, Martin battled to fifteenth place in the opening race whereby he followed it up with a fine eleventh in the second race to make it his first double points scoring finish since the rescheduled Brands Hatch round in May, and in doing so now lies in 18th in the Championship, with Ellison in seventh.

Ellison Takes on Britain... And the World...
06 August 2008
Round eight of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship moves north of the border this forthcoming weekend when the series makes its annual visit to the Knockhill circuit in Fife. Looking to capitalise on a fantastic performance at the previous round at Oulton is Hydrex Bike Animal Honda ace James Ellison, who secured his second podium placing of the season last time out and is hoping to continue his good form in Scotland. 27 year old Ellison, from Kendal in Cumbria, has not visited the 1.3 mile hillside track which overlooks the Firth of Forth for four years but with recent developments aboard the Shaun Muir Racing Honda Fireblade, he is expected to again be running at the front from the word go.

Another Oulton Podium for Ellison
21 July 2008
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. Starting from row two on the grid, the 27 year old from Kendal in Cumbria made some radical changes to his bike overnight and in the early stages of the opening race, led the field as he mixed it up with the Championship front runners. Going into the final laps, he was well placed but eventually had to settle for second place as the handling of his bike deteriorated.

Team Virgin Mobile Yamaha started the 2006 British Superbike campaign in breathtaking form. ‘Rookie’ Billy McConnell, 2005 Virgin Mobile Cup Champion, riding in his very first British Superbike round totally upstaged the form book riding with true ‘young gun’ cavalier style and very reminiscent of the first time the UK saw the wild Kevin Scwhantz and Wayne Gardner.
