Born on 26th June, in Douglas, on the Isle of Man. 

Currently riding in the British Superbike Championship. 

Racedays Honda has announced that New Zealand Supersport Champion, Alastair Hoogenboezem, will partner Uruguay's Maxi Gerardo in the squad for the Misano, Jerez and Magny Cours rounds of the FIM Europe Superstock 600 Championship.

This will be the first racing trip to Europe for the 22-year-old Hoogenboezem and he is looking forward to riding the team's Honda CBR600RR in the highly competitive support class to the eni FIM World Superbike Championship.

Alastair Hoogenboezem

"I'm really excited for the challenge ahead, the experience it will become and being able to compare myself to some of the best young riders in the world."

Gerry Bryce - team principal:

"We're very pleased to welcome Alastair to the team and I would like to thank Phil London of WIL Sport for his help in supporting Alastair's debut into international racing. It will be a challenge for Alastair with new team, bike and circuits but he has adapted well in the past with some great results at new tracks. For the Portimao round WIL Sport rider Josh Harland will have the opportunity to try out the Racedays Honda CBR 600 RR before returning to racing in the PATA European Junior Cup in Italy."

After four months in the saddle, three intrepid motorcyclists have just returned home after completing a 24,000 mile long Pan American challenge from Tierra Del Fuego, in Southern Argentina to Coldfoot, Alaska.

They overcame all sorts of obstacles during the journey, from Steve being knocked off his bike by a minibus following the Obama calvalcade in Cuba, to meeting a grisly face to face in Alaska. But a downpour of rain in Alaska and a police car across the road stopped them just short of Coldfoot; there was no way through.

Since departing from Glasgow on 2nd February 2015, Wilson Hutchison, from Stirling, Raymond Danton, from Sydney, Australia, and Steve Mason, from Lenzie, have travelled through 15 countries on their motorbikes.

Wilson and Raymond each opted to ride a 2014 BMW R1200GS Adventure, while Steve rode his 2009 BMW R1200GS SE, affectionately known as Boris. He came home with Coca Cola cans having replaced bits of the exhaust system to keep him going and Steve is now looking forward to giving Boris a bit of TLC to restore him to his former glory.

As teenagers Steve, Wilson and Raymond were avid bike enthusiasts who dreamt of adventure. Having worked in the corporate world and not seen each other for 30 years, now in their fifties, a chance reunion in 2013 gave rise to big plans for the adventure of a lifetime.

Steve lives next to Deafblind Scotland’s “Field of Dreams”, the site for the planned new building in Lenzie, and when a brochure about the planned new building came through the letterbox, he resolved to raise much-needed funds for the “Field of Dreams” project. And Wilson and Raymond kindly agreed to support the same charity. This building will provide a purpose-built centre of excellence for more than 1000 deafblind people from across Scotland.

So far they have raised £5,700. If you would like to support “Field of Dreams” see their JustGiving page  or contact Drena O’Malley on 0141 777 5848

Pan American Challenge - Wilson Hutchison, Raymond Danton and Steve Mason

After Bautista's good result at Barcelona the Aprilia RS-GPs are on the track to confirm their progress.

Assen (Holland), 23 June 2015 - As per tradition the MotoGP round in Holland - the classic TT - will be raced on Saturday. Aprilia Racing Team Gresini arrives at the Dutch round comforted by Alvaro Bautista's good result in the last race at Barcelona. Alvaro's tenth place finish at Montmelò, although favoured by a few DNFs, is the team's overall best result in this first part of the season and it is a nice injection of confidence for the rest of the championship. In any case, development of the Italian V4s moves forward, taking advantage of every race and every practice session. The Assen weekend will be no exception, especially in light of the fact that the Monday test session after Barcelona was hampered by foul weather.


ROMANO ALBESIANO (Aprilia Racing Manager)
“The result in Barcelona boosted our morale and it especially confirmed that we improve our race performance compared to the practice sessions, managing to stay in the centre of the group. This, along with the assessment of the various changes introduced from the Mugello round, helps to give us a clear idea on which areas need more work. These are experiences which are in line with the spirit of our test year and Assen will be the same, where we will bring new materials that we weren't able to test at Montmelò on the Monday following the race due to the inclement weather.”

FAUSTO GRESINI (Team Manager)
“After taking on two fast tracks like Mugello and Barcelona we are switching to a more flowing track where it will definitely be interesting to verify the steps we've taken forward recently. The tenth place that Alvaro brought home from Barcelona really pumps us up: the primary goal is still developing the bike in view of the future, but it's always a pleasure to have a good result and it represents nice compensation for the entire team, which has been working hard. We are expecting another weekend of testing, during which we want to continue gathering important data to move development of the RS-GP forward.”

ALVARO BAUTISTA
“We are coming to Holland highly motivated thanks to the nice result in Barcelona. We are still a bit disappointed because we could have completed the Spanish trip with some good post-race tests, but the poor weather kept us from doing the work we had scheduled. So we'll bring the material to Assen that we weren't able to evaluate during the tests: we won't have much time to do it, but we'll give it our best shot. The track has a lot of quick direction changes which is an area where we need to improve, so from the first free practice sessions we'll be looking for the best setup to improve our bike's performance in that area. In any case the whole garage is very enthusiastic and we're ready to get down to business.”

MARCO MELANDRI
“We are going to Assen with a bit of concrete optimism. In the Barcelona tests the team provided me with a much longer swingarm that gave me a better feeling. I only took two laps because then it began to rain but I noticed that the sensation was good. I like this track and I'm confident that we'll be taking some steps forward. Alvaro's result gave the team a strong signal of reliability. I see the glass as half full.”
