McAMS Yamaha’s Bradley Ray is ready to build on a strong opening round of the 2026 ZYN British Superbike Championship season at Oulton Park last weekend, arriving at the second round of the season holding third in the standings.
The weekend got off to a strong start on the Yamaha R1, with Ray topping combined practice on Saturday before qualifying on the front row in ROKiT Oxygen Performance Qualifying, kicking off the season with a third place finish, which he followed up with another double podium finish in Bank Holiday Monday’s two races.
Ray said: "I can't complain about Oulton Park - we made a really good step forward from Sunday's race into Monday. The boys put in a great shift getting the bike to a point where it could consistently clock 1:33s, keep up with the pace up front and be in the fight for the win. The pace is there and I left nothing out on the track.
“To come away with three third-place finishes is a solid result. We gave it everything, but we just didn't quite have the pace in the closing stages of the races. We head to Donington Park in good spirits, and hopefully we can close the gap a little more there."
