Taboo Motorsport's new team member Max Thomas netted some useful 125GP Cup points at Cadwell Park British Superbikes moving himself to 18th in the standings.

Fourteen-year-old Thomas, who benefitted from the team's help last time out at Knockhill, lined up in full Taboo livery for the first time over the Bank Holiday weekend.

Campaigning a standard machine in the his first full season of British Championship competition was always going to be a challenge.
The Scottish youngster worked hard all weekend listening to the technical advice and assistance provided to achieve a credible 22nd at the flag having raced with (and leading) much more experienced riders on faster machines throughout the 14-lap race. The result also netted Max 11th in the Academy Cup which moves him to 18th in the overall standings.

“I am really happy with the way things went this weekend,” said team boss Michael Hill. “It’s great to have Max onboard as it gives us a chance to do what we set out to at the start of 2008 and that is to help bring on a young rider.

"Our aim is to continue to work with Max over the coming three races, to improve his understanding of the machine and his confidence ready for 2009. I would like to think that we can continue with him onboard a on a more competitive machine in 2009 where I am confident he can be a top six runner in the Academy Cup."

Hill himself also had a run out in the 125GP race and narrowly lost out on points finish after a battle with Stuart Elwood.
