Smart Move Gives Midge Victory at Donington Park
26 June 2007
Midge Smart kept his cards close to his chest to pull off a fantastic double and the aggregate win as the Virgin Media Cup took the MotoGP world by storm this weekend, 23 - 24 June. Practice and qualifying proved to be a tough mixed bag as the 26-strong grid took to the 2.5-mile circuit in wet conditions for the first time this season. However, respect must be given to Pirelli as the Diablo III's worked brilliantly in the mixed conditions producing some fantastic lap times, while most riders managed to keep sticky side down.

Words Of Wisdom Give Webb Win
21 May 2007
Reigning World Sidecar champion, Tim Reeves was on hand to give James Webb a few words of wisdom before the start of the fifth round of the 2007 Virgin Media Cup at Snetterton today, 20 May. Scott David Paton took the holeshot from third on the grid, followed by Leon Morris who made a blistering start from fourth. James Webb settled into fifth, with BJ Toal in sixth on the Pirelli Diablo R6 for the opening exchanges. South African Dane Hellyer had looked strong all weekend but high-sided out of third and the race at Russell's at the end of Lap 3, offering Webb the opportunity to capitalise as he stole a number of places. Within half a lap Webb had gained the lead on the run in to the Bomb Hole and didn't look back.

Toal Takes Advantage Of Webb’s Mistake
08 May 2007
The Virgin Media Cup race would prove once again to be one of the most exciting on the Bank Holiday schedule at Oulton Park, today, 7 May. James Webb took his second pole position in a row, but it was Leon Morris who snatched the holeshot from the outside of the front row. Midge Smart tucked into second, taking the lead with a slick move into Lodge at the end of the first lap. The following lap, James Webb made his move through the pack to move into the lead at Old Hall Bend. The front five runners made a quick break from Hellyer and Hipwell, before a Danny Brill crash at Hislop's chicane left debris across the track and the race was red flagged.
