David Philippaerts Keeps Red Plate in UK MX1
07 June 2008
41,000 spectators, the largest attendance to see the FIM MX1-GP World Championship so far this season, followed Yamaha Monster Motocross Team's David Philippaerts take his fifth consecutive podium with third position on his YZ450FM. A busy and demanding Mallory Park hosted the British Grand Prix under grey skies for the sixth round of fifteen in the 2008 campaign. The brand new track provided riders with an unseen challenge and while the layout generally got a 'thumbs up' from the majority of the MX1 field, the new dirt was soft (from days of rain beforehand) and very rough; making overtaking a hard task. The course, built alongside - and using vast sections - of the historic road racing facility that used to entertain such luminaries such as Giacomo Agostini, Mike Hailwood and Barry Sheene, was inaugurated with some fantastic scenes.

Mixed fortunes for Sébastien Pourcel at Mallory
03 June 2008
The World Championship came to a new venue for the sixth round of the series as Mallory Park’s road race facilities welcomed the riders to a brand new track. Sébastien Pourcel was once more one of the riders who learned the new layout quickly as he posted the best lap time in all the practice sessions on Saturday. The Frenchman claimed his fourth pole position of the season and picked up the inside position on the grid for both races. The first moto was extremely brief for the GPKR rider who was third at the start. Philippaerts jumped over Sébastien in the second turn and hit his right hand - the bike was damaged too with a broken water pump and a damaged throttle cable so Seb was forced to retire.
