Win to Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Fagerhaug, Cup to Beach
17 August 2008
Sturla Fagerhaug won a superb, race long, battle with Matthew Hoyle to win the last race of the 2008 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup and by pushing Luis Salom back to third gave JD Beach the Cup even though the 16 year old American failed to finish due to a mechanical failure. Norwegian 16 year old Fagerhaug shot away from the line only slightly behind pole sitter Mathew Scholtz and soon swept into the lead. He raced away and made 17 year old Briton Hoyle work hard as the Brno lap record holder gave chase. Salom was coming off the back of the grid having crashed in Saturday's race but was riding superbly and up to 9th by the end of the first lap. A lap later he was third with only Fagerhaug and Hoyle ahead.

Red Bull Rookies Oliveira's Stunning Double
30 June 2008
Miguel Oliveira won his second Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup race in 7 days. The 13 year old Portuguese rode superbly to pull through from 7th at the end of lap one to steal the lead from fast starting 15 year old German Daniel Kartheininger with three of the 16 laps remaining. Kartheininger then crashed leaving Sturla Fagerhaug to take second in a last corner fight with Matthew Hoyle who was third leaving Daijiro Hiura 4th. "I am so happy to score a second win in this Cup, I can hardly believe it," said Oliveira. "It was so hard early on. I didn't make a good start and we had a big battle with a lot of riders all trying so hard. When I managed to get through to second I just pushed and pushed to catch Dani. When I got in front I could see from the big TV screens that he was chasing me. I just went as fast as I could, I saw that he wasn't behind me on the last lap but I didn't know he had crashed."

Sebestyén on Pole
30 May 2008
Hungarian 14 year old Peter Sebestyén remembered that he loves riding in the rain in time to take command of a very wet practice day for Saturday's Italian round of the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup at Mugello. The more regular front runners Sturla Fagerhaug and JD Beach were 2nd and 3rd fastest with Cup leader Luis Salom down in 18th after a fall in the first qualifying session put his bike out of action for the second. “I've always loved racing in the rain but I haven't had a wet race for so long that when we went out in the wet for the free practice this morning I thought I had forgotten how to do it,” said Sebestyén. “This afternoon I just concentrated on being relaxed and smooth and it started to come back to me. As I started to enjoy it I went quicker and quicker.”

Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup - Le Mans
16 May 2008
Luis Salom showed his determination to hang on to the lead in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup by heading practice for the French round at Le Mans today. The 16 year old Spaniard was chased hard by 17 year old Briton Matthew Hoyle and 15 year old German Daniel Kartheininger but sits on pole for Saturday's race. One of the few who did not actually improve on his first session qualifying time Salom was on a fast lap towards the end of the second session when he slid off unhurt. A sign perhaps that he was riding close to the limit and will not have things his own way in the race as most other riders improved their times on a track that is new to virtually all of them.
