LB's Sam Middlemas' R6 Inferno Disaster
17 June 2008
You can help - Fancy your name on the bike from just £10? - This past weekend, disaster struck for LB’s national Superstock 600 rider Sam Middlemas who was racing at Mallory Park after just getting a Yamaha R6. Middlemas crashed after hitting some brake fluid left on the exit of the bus stop during qualifying. His new R6 caught fire after the fuel-tank split and allowed petrol to flow out, which in turn ignited. The marshals were quickly on the scene and did their up-most to put the inferno out. Unfortunately this lasted for what seemed like an eternity and left Sam with a very swollen knee and a very burnt and looking R6.

Bad Luck for Bruce Wilson at Snetterton
16 June 2008
Bruce Wilson encountered even more bad luck when he crashed heavily in practice ahead of Sunday’s fifth round Superstock 600 championship race at Snetterton on Sunday. Practice began well for the Gipsey Bridge rider who was circulating in second place in the opening session but as he negotiated Russell’s chicane the Team Motorcycle Racer Suzuki highsided and threw him off onto the tarmac. It was a race against time to get the bike repaired in time for the first qualifying period and although battered and bruised from his earlier mishap Wilson was up for the challenge. But he soon discovered a problem with the brakes and was forced to retire without recording a qualifying time.

27 May 2008
The red flag put paid to Bruce Wilson’s hopes of a points finish in the Metzeler National Superstock 600 round at Donington when the red flag brought the race to a halt after just two laps. Qualifying had seen Wilson from Gipsey Bridge near Boston secure a sixth row grid position in 24th place and at the lights he got away to a fantastic start moving up to 16th place on lap two of a scheduled 14. But proceedings came to an abrupt halt for an incident at the Melbourne Loop and a complete re-run was announced over a shortened distance of 11 laps and Wilson had to do it all over again.
