Bradley Ray could get a second chance in World Superbike Championship
British Superbike Championship leader Bradley Ray is being targeted by BMW to compete in the World Superbike Championship in 2026.
The move would see Ray switch from Yamaha to BMW, as BMW are looking for a replacement for Toprak Razgatlioglu, who is moving to MotoGP.
Alongside new rider Danilo Petrucci, BMW is expected to let go of Razgatlioglu’s current teammate Michael van der Mark.
Intense contacts have been made with Ray’s team, and a decision is expected by autumn.
Despite a challenging stint in WorldSBK in 2023 and 2024, Ray’s success in BSB this season has caught the attention of BMW.
This opportunity could give Ray a second chance to compete at the world level.
