05 May 2008
Jon Kirkham stole pole position and £250 from Ben Wilson's clutches as a dramatic qualifying session for the third round of the The Henderson Yamaha R1 Cup drew to a close at Oulton Park (4 May).

Kirkham Claims Pole at Wet Thruxton
19 April 2008
Jon Kirkham picked up his first £250 cheque for claiming pole position as an increased grid of 22 riders took to the Hampshire circuit of Thruxton to qualify for round two of the 2008 Henderson Yamaha R1 Cup. As the rain started to come down, Adrian Coates made the early running before Jon Kirkham stamped his authority on proceedings. With track time already under his belt today qualifying second in the National Superstock Championship, Kirkham was dialled in to the deteriorating conditions and put in a string of quick laps, posting the eventual pole lap time of 1:22.104 on his sixth circulation. The session remained fairly static until the final few minutes where the customary position swap began with a vengeance. Seasoned veterans Mason, Emmett and Nutt harried each other, vying for position on the front row. A little further down the field two Thruxton first-timers were beginning to make thier mark. Australian Shannon Etheridge put the pressure on Ben Wilson but eventually settled for an excellent eighth on his debut appearance.

The Season Starts in Anger at Thruxton
19 April 2008
Nineteen riders will battle for strong qualifying positions once again this weekend (19-20 April), as the Henderson Yamaha R1 Cup looks to finally cut its teeth on the British racing scene at Thruxton in Hampshire. Sean Emmett drew first blood at his home round of Brands Hatch a fortnight ago, setting the pace early on from former British Superbike rivals Jon Kirkham and Gary Mason. However, the dark horse of the round proved to be former double British Supermoto Champion, Sam Warren. The 25-year old qualified in third position and will look to replicate that strong display round the super-fast 2.356mile circuit.

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.

British & National Supermoto Championships - Three Sisters Race Report
30 July 2007
Round five of the British Supermoto Championship held at Three Sisters Race Circuit, at last saw some decent weather, with both the Saturday afternoon qualifying and Sunday’s racing held in breezy, but otherwise almost perfect sunny conditions. Saturday qualifying was an amazingly close affair, with several riders heading the provisional leader board, until Sam Warren (SR Off-Road Aprilia SXV550) punched in a blinder of a lap just before the session close, to claim the overnight Pole Position. Coming on the heels of his overall victory at Teesside at round 4, it appeared that Warren had laid the gauntlet down to the rest of the field, but in the end, his weekend did not quite go to plan.

British & National Supermoto Championships - Lydden Hill Preview
10 July 2007
Following closely in the wheel tracks of the last event at Lydden Hill just over a week ago, Round 4 of the British Supermoto Championship supported by Round 5 of the National Supermoto Championship, both take place this coming weekend; the 14th/15th July, at Teesside Autodrome near Middlesbrough. Young Australian hope Joe Harvey aboard a Halsion Lincoln Aprilia SXV550 is the only wild card scheduled to join the 28 permanent riders for this round of the series and Harvey will be hoping that his second outing as a wildcard will bear more fruit than his debut at Lydden Hill, which was dogged by machine troubles and ever-changing, non-Australian type weather conditions, which never really allowed the young Aussie charger to get into his stride.
