Crutchlow Powers in an Action Replay Pole Start
19 July 2008
Cal Crutchlow powered his HM Plant Honda to pole start for the seventh round of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship at Oulton Park and promised to convert his pace into a winning double to steel his chances of reeling in Shane Byrne in the title stakes. The Coventry rider enjoys riding the Cheshire circuit, having taken pole in the earlier visit there back in May – then in the races he had mixed fortunes with a sixth place and then a tumble but this time around Crutchlow is determined to show what might have been.

Crutchlow Defies Injury to Race but Byrne Takes Pole
11 May 2008
Cal Crutchlow will defy the pain from his injured right ankle to keep his Bennetts British Superbike title bid on track at Brands Hatch but the HM Plant Honda rider faces a tough challenge from the series leading Shane Byrne. The Airwaves Ducati rider starts the races from pole postion, having topped the qualifying leaderboard ahead of the snow aborted opening round last month, and that position has been carried forward to this ‘round one – take two.’ Byrne had lapped then in a time of 1m 25.832secs and again he was the rider topping the free practice leaderboard at the sun-drenched Kent grand prix circuit, with a lap of 95.03mph, just 0.159secs up on HM Plant Honda rider Leon Haslam who starts from third place on the grid.
