Crutchlow & Brogan Win, Haslam Nets More Points
5 Days ago
Cal Crutchlow battled to a brave win in today’s Bennetts British Superbike races at Brands Hatch, less than a week after dislocating his right ankle. Cal led the first 15 laps of race one before being overtaken by race-winner Shane Byrne down the Cooper Straight and then by Suzuki’s Tom Sykes on the same lap at Surtees. He eventually finished third. Meanwhile, HM Plant Honda team-mate Leon Haslam was hampered by a poor start, which saw him down in 10th at the end of the first lap.

06 May 2008
A determined Steve Brogan shrugged off the effects of a heavy cold to take the win in the opening race of day at Oulton Park today (Bank Holiday Monday). Racing at his local circuit, the Liverpudlian held off an intense race-long challenge from Raceways Yamaha pilot Jon Kirkham, winning by 0.199 seconds and taking a maximum fifty points score from the first two races of the season. Kirkham had placed his Raceways R1 on pole yesterday, after he and Brogan battled throughout the free practice and qualification sessions for the premier starting spot.

Two Top Fives for Ben Wilson at Oulton
06 May 2008
Ben Wilson was in fine form at Oulton Park when he rode to fifth place in the Metzeler National Superstock championship following up with a dazzling ride to third in the Henderson Yamaha R1 Cup on Monday. It was Wilson’s first outing in the Superstock series and he began the weekend by posting fourth place in first qualifying with a fast time of 1m. 40.956s – just over a second away from pole setter Jon Kirkham. Second qualifying saw the pace hot up and the Boston rider was relegated to eighth place for a second row start to Monday’s 15-lap encounter. Despite dropping to the second row Wilson was still only a second away from pole and was confident he could match the times of the front-runners.

Steve Brogan took his second victory of the year in today’s Metzeler National Superstock 1000 Championship race. The 27-year-old now leads the series by ten points from second-placed Jon Kirkham. Meanwhile in the Fuchs-Silkolene British Supersport series Brogan took a fifth place finish to end the day just nine points off series leader Glen Richards, despite still feeling the after-effects of flu.

Battling Harris Bounces Back & Promises an Upset
29 April 2008
Shane Byrne and Cal Crutchlow power into the Holiday Monday round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship on level terms but as they plan their tactics for riding the picturesque Oulton Park circuit they need to take check the form of both Michael Rutter and Karl Harris. Rutter excelled in the recent Thruxton round, bagging a pair of thirds on the North West 200 Ducati while Harris, still sporting the bruises from his heavy crash last time out, has a good record at the Cheshire circuit, recording his best ever Superbike result, second, there last July.

Three Wins Mark a Successful Day for HM Plant Honda
21 April 2008
The Bennetts British Superbike season finally saw some racing today at the super-fast Thruxton circuit in Hampshire and it proved to be an excellent day for the HM Plant Honda team. In the Superbike category Cal Crutchlow took his first win in the class in the second race following his runner-up spot in race one. Meanwhile in Supersport and Superstock Steve Brogan completed a magnificent double by taking a win apiece in both classes. One HM Plant teamster who was not so lucky was Leon Haslam. The rider from Derbyshire was battling at the front of the pack in both races and scored a fighting fourth in race one, but succumbed to electrical problems while in the leading group in the second race.
