2026 BSB season at Thruxton in Race 1 was followed up by victories in both Sunday races, leaving Ryan Vickers full of confidence heading to Cadwell Park for round eight.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Vickers\u2019 two Thruxton victories came after several months of trying to develop the CBR1000RR-R into a bike capable of performing at the front of BSB, but they also came at a circuit where Vickers had excelled in the past with Yamaha.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Cadwell Park is another track that has suited Vickers in the past, such that this year the 27-year-old is aware that he needs to reign in his own potential to maintain consistency and avoid mistakes.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI couldn\u2019t be in a better place,\u201d Ryan Vickers told Crash.net after Race 3 at the Thruxton BSB.<\/p>\n<figure> <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-08\/ih_bsb_thruxton_92039.jpg?width=1920&amp;format=webp

both Sunday races, leaving Ryan Vickers full of confidence heading to Cadwell Park for round eight.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Vickers\u2019 two Thruxton victories came after several months of trying to
