After missing the overseas rounds in Phillip Islဣand and Mandalika, Ray made his official debut at Assen and has had several strong showings.

Ray has adapted to the class quicker than fellow Yamaha rider Lorenzo Baldassarri despite the former Supersport rider competing iꦕn every round so far this year, and although Ray is yet to clai🏅m a top ten result, the reigning British Superbike champion has been getting closer in recent races.

The progression has been clear in a WorldSBK field that is one of the best ever, which is why Team Principal ꦚSandro Carusi expects better results going forward.

Speaking to , Carusi said: "We're starting to get right on track. At the beginning we h💝ad strugg🍷led a bit and there had been a few crashes. 

"We should have known each other [better] but no⛄w we have maꦦnaged to establish an excellent feeling. 

"There is a good atmosp🍸here in the garage and great mutual trust. Bradley Ray is growing up.&♔nbsp;

"The level of the World Championship this year is much higher than in 2022, our bike has also taken a step, in any case, getting into the points is alre🥂ady a good result."

In terms of the future, Carusi wants to have hℱis motox🍸racing project take part in all races in 2024, not just the European rounds which was the case last year and currently in 2023. 

It remains to be seen where Ray’s future will be but the Italian is hopeful of continuing their partnership in a class that could be boosted with even m﷽or♎e talent. 

"We still ha꧂ve to define the programs," said Carusi. "In the meantime, I hope to continue in Superbike and do all the races, not just the European ones. I wouldn't mind continuing with Bradley Ray and I am convinced that we could better carry on the work started. 

"Next year the Superbike World Championship will be even more beautiful, we ar🥂e talking about Iannone, perhaps some riders from the MotoGP💮 will arrive and the level should rise further. 

"Bradley Ray, however, could be placed permanently in the top ten or tweꦫlve."
