Tough End of Season for Toal
17 October 2008
Virgin Media Yamaha rider BJ Toal, finished his ‘rookie' season in the Fuchs-Silkolene British Supersport with bitter disappointment at Brands Hatch today (12 October). BJ qualified his Virgin Media Yamaha YZF-R6 in 13th position and fought a hard race, battling with seasoned regulars to pick up a handful of places before crashing out at the notorious Druids corner in the closing stages of the race. The youngster from Omagh walked away from the crash unhurt but despondent to finish his season prematurely.

Cock o’ the North Road Races
16 July 2008
It’s 111 wins and counting for Ian Lougher following the conclusion of the annual Cock o’ the North Road Races at Scarborough. Lougher was at his superb best round the historic Oliver’s Mount circuit and his dominance was such, that he was one victory short of achieving a 100% record in every race he contested. The honour of the most wins at Oliver’s Mount goes to the experienced Welshman and following the first day’s action on Saturday it was easy to see why, as he blasted his way to five wins from five starts. Ian was successful in both Superbike races on the team’s Yamaha R1 Superbike, he then followed this up with victory in the 600cc race on the impressive Team Blackhorse Yamaha Supersport R6 and then showed his renowned versatility by taking victory in the 125cc and 250cc events on the Barnes Racing machines to take his tally to 108 wins.

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.

22 May 2008
In sweltering hot conditions, Ben Bostrom used his Graves Motorsports YZF-R6 and superb physical conditioning to annihilate the competition at the fourth round of the 2008 AMA Supersport series in Sonoma, California on Sunday, May 18th. At his home track and with plenty of his old high-school buddies in attendance, Bostrom shattered the Supersport track record in qualifying, set fastest time in Sunday morning’s warm-up, and then managed the race with authority to take his third win of the year, extending his points lead in the process. After three straight podiums this year, teammate Josh Herrin wasn’t so fortunate this time, finishing sixth after running as high as third in the early going.

Haga Returns to Scene of Double Triumph
08 May 2008
The World Superbike Championship moves from the classic circuit of Assen to an even more historic one - Monza - for the fifth round of the series this Sunday, May 11th. Built in 1922, as first a speed bowl and then a fast parkland circuit, Monza is the oldest permanent race circuit in Europe still in regular use. A combination of flat out straights, similarly quick corners, a variety of chicanes and intense braking areas make Monza a unique stop-off on the WSB trail, especially as its Italian parkland cousin Imola is no longer on the calendar.

Henderson R1 Cup Gathers Pace
25 March 2008
Croft Circuit offered the inaugural Henderson R1 Cup competitors the chance to familiarise themselves with their brand new Yamaha YZF-R1 race prepared machines on Thursday (20 March). After months of hard work and careful planning, Rob McElnea proved that it is possible to emulate the hugely successful Virgin Media R6 Cup at the next level. Competition will be fierce as the competitive, cost effective racing package opens the grid to a much wider range of competitors. Gary Mason has returned from a year racing in AMA and fresh from victory in the Daytona 8-hour Endurance race. He will take to the grid with seasoned BSB regulars Ben Wilson, Jon Kirkham and Marty Nutt. 2007 British Superstock runner-up Adrian Coates is also keen to lift the Championship trophy but stiff competition could well come in the form of the double British Supermoto Champion and road racing rookie, Sam Warren.
