Focused Events KTM Super Duke Battle Round 2 & 3 Donington
29 May 2008
Rounds two and three of the Focused Events KTM Super Duke Battle took place this bank holiday weekend alongside the British Superbike series at Donington Park. Strong winds and rain made conditions difficult but even so the crowds saw some close and very entertaining racing. Making his debut in the Battle was Richard Cooper, riding for the SJB Racing team. He immediately made an impact at the top of the field, qualifying in an impressive second place just behind series leader David Wood on the Art of Racing machine. Completing the front row was Kelvin Reilly of Inmoto Corse and Ed Smith of the Gear4 team.

Pirelli Race Report Bennetts BSB - Thruxton
21 April 2008
Shane Byrne transferred pole position into race win to claim his fourth win at Thruxton Circuit on his return to Ducati (20th April). The move to a Pirelli control tyre for 2008 provided a frenetic and close-fought opening race of the season. With a level playing field in terms of rubber, it was left to individual teams to select a favourable compound around the fast and abrasive 2.356mile Hampshire circuit. In race two Cal Crutchlow looked to be in dominant form, making the early running in the search for his debut victory, as he led the field for the first 12 laps. However, the sheer grunt of the new Ducati 1098 proved too much for Crutchlow and Shane Byrne expertly bided his time before making his move for the lead on his Airwaves Ducati on the 13th lap. A rejuvenated Michael Rutter on the North West 200 Ducati, left his passing manoeuvre until lap 18 to claim third position ahead of Leon Haslam.

The Super Duke Battle - Could You Handle It!!
21 February 2007
If you want a slot on the grid of the most exciting one-make series of 2007 then get a move on, as time’s running out and there’s not many places left. You can enter the Super Duke Battle series now and get hold of your KTM 990 race machine with the payment of a £1000 deposit to any official UK KTM dealer, but the final deadline for entries is at the beginning of April when the entire £6500 for the machine will be due. You will need to purchase the mandatory race kit for £1300 and also have the chance to buy a spare wheel kit with discs costing just £700, from series co-ordinators and long standing KTM dealer, Bracken Motorcycles. A major factor in keeping the costs down is the fact that the bike is yours to keep after the series.
