StoneBaker to sign new rider?
26-05-2008
11-year-old racer Jordan Holliday contacted StoneBaker recently, asking if he could meet his race idol(!), Gino Rea.
Jordan is currently second in the British Supermoto Championship, and even with a fractured thumb he still managed to rack up three second places and three thirds at his last meeting.
Jordan is hoping to move into the Aprillia Superteen Challenge this year, with his first race hopefully being at the British MotoGP-backed round in June.
Jordan and Gino (along with Dan Linfoot and father Roger) merrily chatted away for the best part of an hour at Donington Park this weekend. Be careful though Jordan, if you turn out to be too good we'll just have to put you under contract to the squad....
Gilbert and Long spin out of sixth place
25-05-2008
The wet, cold and miserable conditions got the better of the G-Force racing pair of Simon Gilbert and Richard Long in the first round race of the FIM Sidecar World Championship at Donington Park today.
Running as high as fifth position after a 12th-place start, the duo span off at McLeans corner on lap eight whilst lying sixth.
StoneBaker's Dan Linfoot had been providing pre-race assistance to the two riders.
Racing - we just cannot help ourselves!

StoneBaker might not be competing at Donington Park for the fourth round of the British Superbike Championship this weekend, but that doesn't mean we're not involved in the racing.
Rider Dan Linfoot is offering assistance to Simon Gilbert and Rick Long as they prepare for their first-round race in the FIM Sidecar World Championship this afternoon.
The duo, who are twice MRO sidecar champions, are here this weekend on a wild-card basis. Qualifying twelfth on the grid, they climbed to fourth during this mornings wet warm-up session.
