Deane Brown Recaptures form for Team Appleyard/Macadam
26 August 2008
Team Appleyard/Macadam’s fifteen year old rider Deane Brown put in an excellent performance this weekend to finish seventh at the Cadwell Park round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship. Still building his confidence and speed following his bad leg injury earlier in the season, Deane arrived at Cadwell Park following a morale boosting 4th place in one of the two Red Bull Moto GP Rookies Cup races a week earlier at the Brno circuit in Czechoslovakia. After a steady start in practice, Deane posted second quickest time in wet qualifying and eventually started the Relentless British 125GP Championship race from 10th place on the grid.

Thompson’s Twin Performances Lift Team Appleyard/Macadam
03 July 2008
Seventeen year old Jordan Thompson flew the flag admirably for Team Appleyard/Macadam at the sixth round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship this weekend at Mallory Park with two excellent top ten rides.

Beech Boost for Team Appleyard/Macadam at Snetterton
16 June 2008
At the fifth round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship this weekend, Team Appleyard/Macadam rider Ashley Beech put in his best performance of the season by finishing 7th in the Fuchs-Silkolene British Supersport Championship race. Teammate Jordan Thompson also performed well, finishing 13th in the Relentless British 125GP class to equal his best result of the season. In earlier qualifying, the team had made key changes to the geometry of Ashley’s Yamaha R6 which vastly improved the ‘feel’ of the bike and gave him more grip. This translated into better mid corner and exit speed - vital through the ultra fast corners of the Snetterton circuit. Ashley eventually qualified in 8th place, just 0.6 seconds off the pole time, earning him a second row grid position.

Cruel Injury Blow for Brown & Team Appleyard/Macadam
13 May 2008
Deane Brown, one of Britain’s brightest racing talents, left the Brands Hatch round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship in an ambulance yesterday as a badly broken right leg effectively ended his season. He will undergo an operation today to remove an existing plate and have a rod inserted which will mean he will be out of action for at least two or three months. The 15 year old has been in scintillating form this year on his Team Appleyard/Macadam 125 KR Seel machine in the Relentless 125GP British Championship taking pole at the last round at Oulton Park and also in the Red Bull Moto GP Rookies Cup where he currently lies in 4th position in the standings.

No Luck for Team Appleyard/Macadam at Oulton Park
07 May 2008
Luck was in very short supply for Team Appleyard/Macadam who had a weekend to forget at the Oulton Park round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship. The only highlights in an otherwise totally frustrating weekend were Deane Brown claiming pole position and Jordan Thompson comprehensively topping the timesheets in the wet qualifying session on Sunday for the Relentless 125GP Championship race. After his strong performance at Thruxton, 15 year old Deane Brown was hungry for a podium at Oulton Park and gave himself the best chance of this by qualifying in pole position, clinching the top slot with two ultra fast laps right at the end of the session.

Team Appleyard/Macadam Primed for Oulton Action
30 April 2008
With the second round of the British Superbike Championship at Oulton Park just a few days away, Team Appleyard/Macadam is primed and ready for action. At the last round at Thruxton, Deane Brown led the GP125 race and was in contention for top honours but failed to finish so he is eager to make amends at the Cheshire circuit. With his season in BSB GP125 being mixed with a regular ride in the Red Bull Moto GP Rookies Cup, Deane is already having a busy season but is riding extremely well, especially considering that he has only just celebrated his 15th birthday.
