Session 1

Max Cook topped the opening session of the test in his first official outing on the Bimota KB998, which is new to BSB this year after its debut World Superbike campaign last year.

Josh Brookes was second-fastest on the DAO Racing Honda, only a few days on from the team’s announcement that it would be returning to road racing this year.

Ryan Vickers completed the top-three in his first official appearance for the official Honda UK team, while Danny Kent was the leading Yamaha rider in fourth and 2025 runner-up Bradley Ray completed the top-five.

Kyle Ryde was sixth on his own Ducati Panigale V4 R while the Nitrous Competitions team continues preparing its race bikes. Leon Haslam, Charlie Nesbitt, Storm Stacey, and Christian Iddon completed the top-10.
