Kyle Ryde went fastest at the British Superbike test at Don🌟ington Park and can lay down another marker this week.

The f🐬inal BSB 2024 pre-season test is at thওe Circuito de Navarra from Tuesday-Thursday.

The first round of the season then begins at ✤the same location this weekend.

OMG GRILLA Yamaha Racing💯’s Ryde was quickest at last year’s test at the Circuito de Navarra, too.

At Don🅰ington Park, as he edged out Glenn Irwin at the top of the timesheet, Ryde tried different specs of the Yamah🦂a R1.

Ryde said: “I was in a very lucky position to have two bikes to test at Donington Par𒁃k; one was brand new and one was a Brands Hatch replica, so the s🅺ame as last year.

“On the first 🎐day, I rode the 🌟new bike and I wasn’t particularly a fan, I set a good lap time but it didn’t feel great, it was really tiring.

“So we went back to the old bike on day two and took each new💞 part off and added it to that just to see which ones I liked and which I 🌌didn’t.

“I liked one thing and that’s what we stuck with for the rest of the d❀ay.

“The confidence grew and grew and then෴ for the last session, the weather wasn’t great, but I thought, might as well have a go and see what I can do and did one lap and it was pretty good.

“I think my ♌confide𝓡nce is pretty similar to last season to be honest.

“The thing I’m more confident ab🌼out noﷺw is the new parts we’ve got and I’ve found a bit of a window that I’ve not been in for a while.

“Look at Brands last year, Doningtoꦰn, Cadwell, I was in that window where I was getting trophies, but the rest of the time I was just out of it and struggling to get a trophy. If I can tr🦋y and keep myself in that window that I was in for the last hour of the first test, then I should be in for a good year!

“I have just got to stick wi🐓th it, write down what was g💙ood and what was bad. We can always reflect on trying to keep myself in that window.

“When you’re in it, it feels absolutely massive, but when you’re out of it, it’s so hard to get﷽ back in it.

“We’ve 🃏just got to꧑ stick to what we know, we know what bike works at Navarra and we can try this version and see if it’s any better, if not, I’ve got a decent bike from last year.”
