Kyle Ryde and Bradley Ray have unveiled their new 2025 BSB bikes.

Both riders were briefly out of a ride when OMG Racing shockingly collapsed, but their British Superbike Championship campaigns have been salvaged.

They are both on track at Donington Park for a two-day BSB pre-season test, having missed the opening testing opportunity at Navarra with their futures in the balance.

OMG Racing were subject of a "rescue plan" by Nitrous Competitions and return in a "restructured format" with BSB champion Ryde on their Yamaha R1.

Separately, Raceways Yamaha, backed by Yamaha UK, are a new team set up for this season’s British Superbike Championship.

They have rescued Ray whose year briefly seemed scuppered by the collapse of OMG Racing.

Raceways Yamaha has been set up by Steve Rodgers, who ran McAMS Yamaha. Through Tarran MacKenzie they won the 2021 BSB title.

McAMS Yamaha once came close to signing Ray - but he has now joined forces with Rodgers in a different guise.

The new team allows Ray to remain riding a Yamaha R1 in BSB this year.

He is the 2022 BSB champion, when he was also on a Yamaha, and will be backed to run at the front this year.

Ray’s first outing with Raceways Yamaha is the official BSB two-day test at Donington Park on Friday and Saturday.
