Spring Cup Climax at Mallory
26 June 2008
The Henderson Yamaha R1 Cup reaches the climax of the Spring Cup this weekend with all eyes trained on Championship leader Jon Kirkham and pretender to the throne, Sam Warren (28th-29th June). Jon Kirkham heads Mallory Park with a 19-point lead over Warren, knowing that a top ten finish will claim the Spring Cup title, irrelevant of where Warren takes the chequered flag. With three race victories already under his belt, Kirkham can finish level on points with Warren and still claim the crown. The Derby based rider will be full of confidence after another dominating performance to claim the double as the Henderson Yamaha R1 Cup series showcased its talent at the British MotoGP last weekend (21st June)

More Thrills for Oulton Park
01 May 2008
The Henderson Yamaha R1 Cup will shatter the peace and tranquility of the Cheshire countryside this coming Bank Holiday (4th-5th May), as Oulton Park stages the third round of the 2008 Bennetts British Superbike Championship. The 2.692mile Oulton Park International circuit follows the natural contours of the former Oulton Hall's magnificent wooded parkland, and is one of the most physically demanding circuits on the calendar. The final sector from Clay Hill, through Druids and Lodge for the run up Deer Leap will be all important as the riders jostle for points and positions across the finish line.

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.
