Bradley Ray is looking to find more traction after the first official BSB test of 2026.
2025 BSB runner-up Bradley Ray is focused on finding improvements in one area at the final official preseason test of 2026. Ray finished the Donington Park BSB test in fifth place and almost half-a-second behind Bimota’s Max Cook at the top of the times. The conditions at the test were dry throughout, but both days were significantly affected by wind. Ray admitted the conditions weren’t “ideal” but he was able to try things with the bike setup anyway. Ray summarized the final session at Donington as “Not bad” and mentioned working on the new SC1 tire to find more rear traction, aiming to understand how to set the bike up for optimal performance with the new tire. The Oulton Park test is scheduled for 22–23 April ahead of the opening round at the same circuit on 3–5 May.
