Plenty of BSB teams have been testing in Spain this week...including @racewaysyamaha! motorcyclenews.com/sport/british-…

Say hello to the bimota KB399! I wonder if we’ll see this bike on the World Sportbike grid in 2027?

Part two of our new series following the bimota BSB project is inside this week's MCN. This entry is all about the team's trip to Europe as Max Cook and Joe Talbot rode the KB998 for the first time. There's also insight from bimota WSBK rider Alex Lowes. #bimota #BSB

It's Wednesday!

Given United finished 15th last season, lost to Spurs in the Europe League final, got knocked out of the League Cup by Grimsby... I'm delighted with third and hopefully returning to the Champions League.

That's a mega line-up!

Perfect response after the Newcastle defeat! Important weekend with Villa and Chelsea losing. That Cunha finish as well! 🔥

@chillimoto @markjackson69 @DoubleRedBSB Mark is spot on. Oulton Park, round one, sunshine (hopefully), all the excitement of a new season and a big crowd. Can’t beat sitting at Craner Curves for the Donington rounds either. 👍

@markjackson69 @JoshClose7 @DoubleRedBSB Thank you very much mate I appreciate that 🙏🏻

I can confirm that this livery looks even better in person. The matte finish is 👌. 📸 @DoubleRedBSB

I spoke to Rory Skinner, Danny Kent and Philip Neill during the team's 2026 photoshoot at Oulton Park. Find out what they had to say in this week's MCN. #BSB #Yamaha 📸@DoubleRedBSB

Out now in stores & the MCN App (subscription required) - TAS Racing launch: Skinner, Kent and Neill chat to MCN. - Daytona 200 insight & analysis, plus reaction from Peter Hickman. - Exclusive interviews with Nicolo Bulega and Jack Miller. #MotoGP #Daytona200 #WorldSBK

So it's finally official. TAS Racing go Yamaha for 2026 with Danny Kent joining Rory Skinner at the Northern Irish team. In another big coup, Chris 'Spanner' Anderson also joins the team, whilst Michael Laverty is now an official partner.

And just like that I’m back in the UK. Despite the weather, I had a good couple of days in Portugal with AJN Steelstock bimota. Managed to get some interviews done as well with Miguel Oliveira, Alex Lowes and Tommy Bridewell. #WorldSBK #BSB #PortimaoTest

@DaveNeal I blame every single rain drop on you 🤣

@JoshClose7 Look at you with the lower case ‘b’… 😉 sorry that the rain forecast was right 🤦🏼‍♂️

The weather didn’t play ball today but it was still cool to see the bimota bsb riders out on track for the first time. Fingers crossed for better weather tomorrow. #PortimaoTest

Keeping a close eye on the BSB project. The relationship between bimota, the WorldSBK team and BSB team is really positive. #PortimaoTest #WorldSBK

BIKE ON THE TRACK! #PortimaoTest

More heavy rain at Portimao. The WorldSBK guys are cursed when it comes to testing this year. #PortimaoTest #WorldSBK

The newest bike on the @OfficialBSB grid in all its glory! #PortimaoTest

Morning from a wet Portimão. Plenty of rain overnight. #WorldSBK #PortimaoTest
