Bubb powers to Landrake glory! 2025 Nora92 British Cup Round 1 – Race Report & Results

Last weekend, over the Spring Bank Holiday, Sunday 4th and Monday 5th of May, the opening round of the 2025 Nora92 British Cup Championships took place at one of the premier tracks in the country: Landrake Moto Parc in Cornwall, which had been prepared to a high standard as usual. There was a big entry for this event, with over 300 competitors taking part, who were to produce some excellent racing on both days.

Race Report and Images by Dave Rich

In the combined MX1 & MX2 class, it was the 450 Crendon Tru7 Honda of Jamie Carpenter who had first pick of the gates over the two days, as he had set the fastest time in qualifying. In the opening race, it was Jamie who was to take the holeshot and was soon into a rhythm ahead of fellow MX1 rider Tyron Cleaver on his 450 KTM, with leading MX2 rider George Hopkins on his 250 Worx Scaffolding Total Triumph tucked in third.

Jamie Carpenter on his way to four wins out of four in the MX1 class

Hopkins was soon to get past Cleaver, as did young up-and-coming MX2 rider Ollie Bubb on the Crescent Yamaha, who was soon to be right with Hopkins, looking to get past. Carpenter had pulled away abit after four laps but all eyes were on Bubb and Hopkins who were having a real tussle with Bubb eventually finding away pass Hopkins on lap five and was now chasing down Carpenter at the front especially on the last lap where Bubb closed right up but it was Carpenter who took the win from Bubb leading MX2 rider taking second from fellow MX2 rider Hopkins who took third.

In the second moto again, it was Carpenter who led from the off with Hopkins second, just ahead of Bubb, who again was soon to be all over Hopkins in the early stages of the race, which seemed to be letting Carpenter get away all the time. Bubb was to get the better of Hopkins two laps in and was again to try and close down the gap on Carpenter, but the best battle was gong on behind Hopkins between Dominic Newbury and Leon Williams both on MX2 machines with Williams getting the better of Newbury on the last lap to take fourth behind Hopkins, Bubb and Carpenter.

No 4 George Hopkins and No 544 Olie Bubb battling it out for MX2 honours

Race three and it was Carpenter again who had set off the line quickest this time, ahead of fellow MX1 rider Daniel Maule and Jacob Bowden. Both Hopkins and Bubb didn’t have the best of starts in this one but were soon to make ammends by the end of the opening lap as Maule had made a mistake and Bubb was now up into second with Hopkins all over Bowden looking to move into third which he did on the third lap but he was to struggle to keep with Bubb who again in the closing laps was to close in on Carpenter and at the line took second to Carpenter by less than two seconds with Hopkins again taking third.

The last moto was probably the best race of the day as this time it was Bradley Wheeler on his 450 Yamaha who had the holeshot from Maule with Carpenter this time in third but by the end of the opening lap it had all changed at the front as Carpenter was there and was easing away, Bubb had moved up into second ahead of Wheeler who now had Hopkins on his tail which turned into a good battle with Wheeler holding Hopkins off for several laps until Hopkins got pass who was to go on to finish third behind Bubb with Carpenter making it four wins out of four and the overall in the MX1 class with Maule who passed Wheeler after a battle for several laps to give him second overall in the MX1 class ahead of Wheeler who took third overall. The MX2 class overall went to Bubb ahead of Hopkins, with Williams taking third overall.

Luke Mellows was in a class of his own in the Vets 35+ class

In the combined Vets 35+ and 45+ class it was a good day for the MotoXtreme Stark Varg of Luke Mellows in the 35+ class who was having his first competitive ride back after a hip replacement six months ago and having his first ride now at the age of forty in a Vets class as he was to take a clean sweep of wins which included three holeshots to give him the overall with Will Payne who had a real tussle in the third race with Daniel Chapman taking second overall, with Chapman who had the holeshot in the last race and did lead the race for a couple of laps taking third overall, whereas in the 45+ class there was no stopping Alan Pearce who was to take a clean sweep of wins on both days to give him the overall ahead of Nigel Woodman with a scorecard of 2-2-2-3 taking second overall with Lee Baggs third overall.

Ria Truman took the overall in the Ladies class by one point

It was nice to see that so many female competitors had entered for this Championship and they were to show there class with no one rider totally dominating the racing as on the first day we had two different winners in the shape of Nadiya Jones and Hollie Roberts whereas on the second day there was another win for Jones with Ria Truman taking the other race win, but at the end of the two days racing consistancy was to declare the overall winner by one point and that was Truman with a scorecard of 2-2-1-2 from Jones with Roberts taking third overall.

In the Novice class, Jordan Lord and Carl Benham each won on both days. At the end of the two days, they were tied on points, but by virtue of the last race result, Lord was to take the overall, with Jamie Aiken a commendable third overall.

Harley Prickett took a clean sweep of wins in the Youth class

The Youth class was fast and furious, with some really good racing to be seen. Harley Prickett, on his 250 KTM, dominated all four races over the two days, and once he hit the front, he displayed a fine display of riding. He took the overall from Zane Stephens on his 125 Yamaha, with George Clark on his 125 Fantic taking third overall.

Casey Lister leading the pack in the Big Wheel 85 class

In the Big Wheel 85cc class, Casey Lister displayed a fine riding style, taking a clean sweep of wins over the two days to give him the overall win. Second place went to Jenson Severn, who finished second to Lister in all four races. Stanley Siebert took third place with a scorecard of 3-3-3-3.

Arthur King just holding on in the Small Wheel 85 class

The Small Wheel 85cc class was nigh on a full line up which was good to see and they were to produce some of the best racing over the two days with John Slade leading the opening race on the opening lap before a mistake cost him with a Dnf and taking the lead was Jett Gardiner who was soon to be persued by Arthur King who was closing in all the time before King nearly lost it after getting cross rutted on the third lap, but he managed to hold on and was to take second behind Gardiner with Mylie Evans taking third. King was in fine form and was to dominate from the off in the other three races to give him the overall from Gardiner, who was consistent with a 1-2-2-2 scorecard, with Evans taking third overall.

Rafe Symons in action in the Small Wheel 85 class

In the 65cc class again, there were plenty of up-and-coming stars showing what they were capable of, especially over some of the big jumps, where they didn’t seem to have any fear and were willing to give their all. In the opening race, it was Tommy Wood on his Crescent Yamaha who was to take the holeshot from Preston Chorley and Hunter Groves, but by the end of the opening lap, up into second had now come the KTM of Alfie Cotter. Woods was to gradually ease away at the front and, with a clear track in front of him, went on to take the win from Cotter with Chorley taking third. Wood again had the best start in the second moto, but this time from the off, he had Cotter right on his tail, who, within a lap, took over at the front. Wood made a slight mistake on the second lap and now up into second had come Blake Marks Bracey with Chorley now in third, but he was soon put under pressure from Wood who had regrouped and was back on it looking to find away pass Chorley but Chorley held strong until the final lap when Wood got the better of him to take third behind Bracey and the winner Cotter.

Cohen Llewellyn took the overall in the Auto class

Wood again was quickest out of the gate in the third moto ahead of Cotter and Groves but with just half a lap completed Cotter hit the front and was trying to get away but Wood was to stay with him ready to pounce on any opportunity that Cotter was to give him but Cotter didn’t give him a chance and took the win from a close Wood in second with Bracey taking third. In the last moto, Wood was there again with the holeshot and the early lead from Cotter and Ronnie Morgan, but just like in the third moto, Cotter was to take the lead on the opening lap and from there went on to take the win from Wood and Morgan. Cotter took the overall from Wood, with Groves taking third overall.

No 47 Ronnie Cruthley battling it out with No 141 Cody Chiswell in the Auto class

The Auto class saw some really good racing but there was only one winner at the end of the two days and that was Cohen Llewellyn who was to win the first three races only to be denied a clean sweep in the last race on the final lap by Austin Senior who had finished second to Llewellyn in the other races to give him second overall with Teddy Moore with three consistant rides taking third overall.
