It was a far cry from a productive and optimistic firsꦏt pre-season test in Nav🐽arra, Spain.

Bridewell crashed on Friday at Doningt🐓on Park, then had to watch his title rival Glenn Irwin go fastest on both days.

The Hon🙈da rider ended the test 12th overall, two tenths slower than teammate Andrew Irwin.

“The Donington test has been a bit tough for sure,” Bridew💜ell admitt♒ed.

“It’s a bit challenging to analyse because, in all honesty, I feel a little bit lost with the setup becauseꦍ we are running a very different bike here in 2025.

“In the Monteblanco pre-season test, we were feeling really positive and I was super comfortꦫable with the bike, but then at Navarra things didn't quite click.

“Then ꧒again, here in Donington, I’ve lost a little bit of my feeling.

“I need to have a look at things and work out where we are not quite getting it right, the crash [o🗹n Friday] didn’t help and hurౠting my hand didn't help.

“The gre🅰at thing with Honda though is they have everything in-house and they can analyse everything that we need to u🐟nderstand what the bike wants and what the bike needs from me to maximise the potential.

“I haveﷺ absolute confidence that we will be theꦰre or thereabouts come Oulton Park race.”

BSB is testing for two days in the coming week at Ou𝄹lton Park, giving Bridewell a chance to gain stability.
