Overview
- Bradley Ray topped combined Free Practice with a 1:25.674 lap and then set Superpole pole with a 1:25.361 on his McAMS Yamaha.
- Rain and damp conditions forced session reshuffles and limited running, meaning only riders who posted fast laps in the brief dry windows could improve times.
- BSB’s combined Free Practice classification sent the top 12 straight to the single-lap Omologato Superpole, with Kyle Ryde, Ryan Vickers, Joe Talbot and Storm Stacey among those who advanced.
- Ray already holds Cadwell Park’s outright BSB lap record (1:25.329), underscoring his strength over a single flying lap at the circuit.
- The result tightens the weekend storylines: Ryde remains the championship leader but faces a renewed threat from Ray as teams manage comebacks, injuries and set-up choices through the wet-to-dry conditions.
