Henderson Yamaha R1 Cup – race report, Mallory Park 21/22 June

Michael Neeves, Pictures by Double Red, 30 June 2008 12:32

With Sunday’s Mallory Park race ticked off, I can’t believe we’re now at the halfway point in the Henderson Yamaha R1 Cup already. What with all the bad luck we’ve had with the weather this year, we’ve barely ridden on dry tarmac; there’s been more splashing around than full-throttle action, so it feels like we still haven’t got going yet. ...

Henderson R1 Cup: What a brilliant weekend at Donington Park's MotoGP

Michael Neeves, 24 June 2008 13:19

Wow, what a weekend that was! Scott Redding gave us something to cheer about, winning the 125cc Grand Prix and the Yamaha R1 Cup got to follow the still-warm tyre tracks of Valentino Rossi, as the Henderson Yamaha R1 Cup showed up at the British Grand Prix to appear in two support races. There was something different about the atmosphere ...

Henderson R1 Cup: Another rainy weekend at Snetterton

Michael Neeves, 18 June 2008 14:38

It was mixed fortunes for me at Snetterton last weekend in the Henderson Yamaha R1 Cup. I was really looking forward to this one as this is the first time I’ve rocked up at a track I’ve actually raced at. That makes a big difference to getting on the pace straight away, especially as I’m not getting extra practice by ...

Henderson R1 Cup: More rain for Donington Park round

Michael Neeves, 29 May 2008 11:42

Another Henderson R1 Cup round and another typically wet and windy weekend. This will be the sixth consecutive race meeting I’ve done this year (including the three Bemsee Powerbike rounds I’ve done) where the weather has been dire, I can’t believe it! It’s bad enough riding in the rain, but having to stand around a cold, damp paddock all day ...

Henderson R1 Cup: Superstar in the making

Michael Neeves, 07 May 2008 11:32

Sam Warren is a relative novice to road racing. He’s completed just a handful of club races to get his national licence, so he can take part in the Henderson Yamaha R1 Cup. But the 25-year-old engineer from Swanwick isn’t just any old road racing novice; he’s the winner of the 2006 British Supermoto Championship. Warren has also got more ...

Henderson R1 Cup: We've finally made it

Michael Neeves, 24 April 2008 09:51

After what seems like an enternity the first ever race of the inaugural Henderson Yamaha R1 Cup kicked off at Thruxton at the weekend in front of a huge British Superbike crowd. But best of all the sun even came out allowing us to thrash our R1s in anger in the dry for the first time. It’s been a pretty ...

MCN's Michael Neeves in Henderson R1 Cup - Round one Brands Hatch

Michael Neeves, 09 April 2008 14:08

As you know, last weekend’s British Superbike round at Brands Hatch was cancelled due to the snow. I’ve never seen Brands under four inches of snow before, let alone in the spring, and it was a big disappointment for all the teams, fans and riders alike. It also meant that the first ever Henderson R1 Cup race will have to ...

MCN man Michael Neeves will be racing in the R1 Cup this year, check out the video below to see how he got on at his first round and just how bad the snow was at ...

Video: Yamaha R1 Cup launch at Croft

Michael Neeves, 28 March 2008 12:31

MCN Senior Road Tester has chosen his keys from the proverbial bowl and out came number 33. That is the number Neeves will be racing in the inaugural Henderson R1 Cup series, which launched at Croft Circuit last week. The round will be supporting the British Superbike Championship at all 12 rounds and all riders will ride standard Yamaha R1’s ...

MCN's Michael Neeves - All set for Yamaha R1 cup at Croft launch

Michael Neeves, 25 March 2008 17:05

Last Thursday, saw the launch of the inaugural Henderson R1 Cup at a wet Croft circuit North Yorkshire. This was the first time all 30-odd identical Yamaha R1s have ever been seen together and I was lucky enough to be a part of it. The idea of the day was for all the riders to meet the series organiser (and ...
