Jed, at just twenty-one years of age, already has earned his stripes in the F1 sidecar paddock with a solid season last year assisting Ian Drowne to eleventh place in the final standings for Mick Robson Racing, and previously with Simon Gilbert and his G-Force racing team. This latest development is without doubt another significant milestone in his young career.

Jo Williams discusses the life and times of her friend, renowned lady passenger Mich Judkins. From a very young age Mich was in the thick of it with the multi bike 'Judkins' team. Life can put a person through the wringer and it's a testament to Mich that she is still part of the racing foreground supporting and being a big part of the current success that surrounds Team Founds.
I find myself again in the Oswestry Motorcycle Road Racing Museum talking to team boss Phil Morris. 2016 is a very exciting year for the team and Phil tells me of their plans for an attack on the superbike TT!

Some of you may already know that Mark went to New Zealand to passenger for Tim Reeves.
Well after a great first 2 weeks It's unfortunately taken a turn for the worse.. When on Monday evening whilst out on road bikes, he unfortunately was involved in an accident and has been hospitalised since..

On Tuesday his femur was pinned and the doctors are very happy with the result.
And has just returned from his neck operation today, he has 6 broken vertebra which two have had to be fused.. But the docs are again very happy with the outcome.
He now has a longer stay in NZ and a long road to recovery.
He has been unbelievably strong and in good spirits all week.
Lets help Mark to a full recovery.
