Kyle Ryde went fastest at the British Superbike test at&n꧋bsp;Donington Park and can lay down another marker this week.

The final BSB 2024 pre-season test is at the Circ💦uito de Navarra from Tuesday-Thursday.

The first round of 💙the season th🥀en begins at the same location this weekend.

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

At Donington Park, as he edged out Glenn Irwin at the top of the timesheet, Ryde tried different🧸 specs of the Ya🦩maha R1.

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

“On the first day, I rode the new bike and I wasn’t par💧ticularly a fan, I set a good lap time but i🍎t 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 tha♛t just to see which ones I liked and which I didn’t.

“I liked one thing and that’s what we stu🌄ck with for the rest of the day.

“The confidence grew and grew and then for th꧃e 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 conf﷽idence is pretty similar to las𝕴t season to be honest.

“The thing I’m more confident about now is the new parts we’ve got and I’ve 🥀found a bit of a wind📖ow that I’ve not been in for a while.

“Look at Brands last year, Donington🧸, 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 try and keep myself in that window that I was in f🦹or the last hour of the first test, then I should be in for a good year!

“I have just got to stick with it, write down what was good and what was bad. We can always reflect on trying to keep myself🐽 in that window.

“When you’re in it, i🔯t feels absolutely massive, bu💜t when you’re out of it, it’s so hard to get back in it.

“We’ve just got to 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 f🤪rom last year.”
