AJN Steelstock Kawasaki Oulton Park and Donington Park report from Team Principal Nigel Snook

"I know conditions change – it was perfect at the weekend - and there’s a new slightly softer rear tyre this year but Jason O’Halloran’s winning race time for us last season would have put him 15th in race three this time. Ray 25 seconds faster overall and Max’s best lap over half a second faster than Jason’s with an overall race time 10 seconds faster!"

SENCAT IN Competition Aprilia Donington Park

Unfortunately technical issues prevented Tom Sykes from making a full return to BSB at Donington this weekend. Lee's best finish was 11th on the Triumph and Freddie's best was 19th in just in second year of racing in the championship.

Triple treat for Raceways Yamaha and Brad Ray at Donington Park

Brad Ray: “I didn’t really expect to win all three races coming into the weekend - I knew we’d be strong but I didn’t think we’d be in a position to take the triple given how strong Glenn and Kyle were at the test. We worked well as a team all weekend, worked hard on used tyres to find our rhythm for the end of the race. Glenn kept me honest in the last race and that one was probably my best win of my BSB career."

Crucial points in both championships for the Moto Rapido Racing Ducati Team at Donington Park

Ben was chasing down Luke Stapleford and breathing down his neck. Into the Esses, Ben made a bold, brilliant move — late on the brakes and decisive — to pass Luke cleanly in a true racer’s style. But the drama wasn’t over. Heading into the Melbourne Loop, Rhys Irwin made his move, and Ben had to react quickly. Staying calm and composed, he slotted in and powered across the line to take his second victory of the weekend. Two wins, two poles, and a lap record — a dream weekend by any standard.

McAMS Racing and Danny Kent Tackle Challenges at Donington Park

Tim Martin, McAMS Racing, Team Owner: “It wasn’t the weekend we all hoped for here at Donington Park. We had high expectations and unfortunately it didn’t quite come together, which happens in racing. Danny kept fighting till the end but didn’t quite have the feeling he needed to fight near the front. He scored a few crucial points and will be back fighting at Snetterton.”

Podiums, points and prizes for PBM Ducati at Donington Park

The Hager PBM Ducati team heads home from Donington Park fired up for the rest of the 2025 Bennetts British Superbike season after rider Glenn Irwin clinched a second and a third in Sunday’s two races.

Honda Racing UK at Donington Park

Team Manager Havier Beltran: “I think it’s fair to say that a lot of things went better than they might - in particular Andrew being passed fit to compete on a Superbike and then the way that the entire team dug in to effectively build a new machine from the ground up for Tommy to compete with on Sunday. Our riders didn’t reach the podium either in Superbike or Supersport, but across the board it was not for the want of trying."

Andrea Iannone declared unfit for Most round after FP1 crash

The Most Round for Team Pata Go Eleven and Andrea Iannone lasted only a few laps; in a FP 1 held in slippery asphalt conditions, not wet but with some wet patches, the number 29 crashed heavily on the second fast lap.

A challenging weekend for Tom Booth-Amos at Most

Team Manager Simon Buckmaster: “Tom looked strong in the first part of the race and started to close on the leaders, then he said he started to experience chatter. He had a moment and after yesterday’s crash, he just wanted to bring it home in the best possible position.  Ok it’s only ninth, certainly not the weekend we were looking for when we came here but also a bad weekend for Stefano Manzi so we really didn’t lose much to him in the championship."

Manzi crashes out the lead in Most but maintains the lead in the World Supersport Championship

Kervin Bos, Team Manager: "In the end, it’s been a disappointing weekend here in Most, even though we started off very well on Friday. Throughout a season, some weekends will be more difficult — that’s just part of racing. Fortunately, we didn’t lose anything in the championship regarding Stefano’s lead, and Yuki gained more experience on a new circuit this weekend."

Toprak Razgatlioglu almost unbeatable at Most

Toprak Razgatlioglu on the BMW M 1000 RR proved to be – at least almost – unbeatable. ‘El Turco’ was the fastest in all practice sessions, secured pole position, won race one and the Superpole race, clocked the fastest lap in all three races, and set new lap records.

The Most SBK weekend fails to bring the desired results for MIE Honda riders Mackenzie and Zaidi

Tarran had little time to get into any kind of rhythm as a lap-three crash, at Turn 1, prevented him from continuing with the race. Teammate Zaqhwan also had a challenging time. He did his best to manage the race, holding nineteenth place for the best part of the 22 laps but a lack of feeling ultimately saw the Malaysian pit in the final stages.
