鈥淲e have just completed the penultimate round of the 2025 season, heading back up to Oulton Park for Round 10.

“After Luke put a lot of effort into his recovery, he managed to gain back the strength in his shoulder and was back on his Honda to take part alongside Jamie.

“Friday started off with both Free Practice sessions. Luke finished P7 in both of these after showing great pace. We also then had a Pre-Qualifying in which he took 11th place automatically being put through to Q2. A brilliant start to the weekend!

“As for Jamie, his engine blew after a few laps of FP1, resulting in an engine change for the team and now limited track time鈥� The team managed to get the engine swapped before FP2, however a technical gremlin meant he only competed 3 laps in the second session.

“Saturday morning, we were supposed to be out for our FP3 session, the horrendous rain however put a halt to any proceedings until further notice. Eventually we got out at 12:50 for the 10-minute session.

“We were ready to go for Qualifying. Jamie made his way out for Q1, he completed 4 laps with a best of 1:54.624. He would start race 1 from 22nd.

“Now it was time for Luke to go out. He was sat in P3 for most of the session but finished in P9, this was a 3rd row start and a great performance by Luke. His best lap time was a 1:46.084, just 1.463 off of pole.

“Race 1 was shortened to 14 laps after a red flag for rain. Luke had a great ride and finished in 12th, bringing home more points. Jamie didn鈥檛 make the end and pulled in due to a slight issue with the bike.”

“Sunday we had to 2 more races鈥� Race 2 Luke started from 16th and Jamie 23rd. We got underway and a few laps in then the red flag got shown due to contamination of the track.

“After a lengthy delay we got a rescheduled 8 lap sprint. Both Luke and Jamie were setting steady and consistent lap times and came across the line in 16th and 20th. 聽

“For the third and final race of the weekend we were 17th on the grid with LH, and 22^nd with JD. Luke circulated 4 times before making his way down pit-lane with a technical issue.

“Jamie was still out to complete the race and was right on the back of a battle between B. Baker and J. Van Sikkelerus marginally ahead of him. He stayed with them throughout the whole race and took the flag 0.9 seconds behind them.听

“Overall, a very good weekend for the team despite the weather conditions.”

鈥淩ound 5 of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship took place at Brands Hatch in Kent, England.

鈥淥n Friday afternoon, we went out on track at 1pm for our first session, and 4pm for Free Practice 2. After both of the two 40-minute sessions ran smoothly, both Luke and Jamie were happy with how the bikes felt ahead of the rest of the weekend coming up.

鈥淭he next morning, we were out early at 9am for a 10-minute FP3. Luke finished P14 and Jamie P21.

鈥淏oth of our Honda machines were out for Q1; Luke went out for six circulations, setting a best of 1:26.221 鈥� just missing out on Q2! Jamie set seven laps 鈥� a 1:27.605 his fastest.”

鈥淲e started the first race of the weekend from 16th and 24^th respectively. We had a dry track under us for Race 1. Following on from Luke鈥檚 point scoring streak, we hoped to gain a few more this weekend; he rode a great race to bring home another point in P15.

鈥淛amie finished 22^nd; he was feeling very confident in the bike and happy with finishing the 20-lapper. We still had more to come!

鈥淥n Sunday morning, we headed out early for the warm-up session ahead of the two races later on in the afternoon.

鈥淒ue to Race 1鈥檚 lap times, Luke lined up 16th (1:26.605) and Jamie slotted in 23rd (1:28.107). This race was strong from both of our riders. On the #23 side of the garage, Luke scored his best finish this season, crossing the 12-lap sprint race in 13th after battling with Swann, Stacey and Mcconnell. On Jamie鈥檚 side of the garage, he took half a second off his best lap time and crossed the line P20; a brilliant race for both of our riders and a great setup for us headed into the final race.

鈥淟uke started P14 and Jamie 21st for Race 3. Luke had another very strong race, fighting throughout the whole race for another point finish. He finished 14th 鈥� less than half a second off Mconnell.”

鈥淎 little unlucky on Jamie鈥檚 side as he pulled into the pit after a mechanical issue.”

“Overall, a very strong weekend from both of our riders. A haul of points added to the riders鈥� Championships, with both feeling confident and happy with how their bikes feel and the direction we are heading in. Roll on Thruxton!鈥�

鈥淩ound one at Oulton Park continued that form, with Josh setting a personal best lap time of 1.35.5 and getting through qualifying one into qualifying two.

鈥淯nfortunately, at the end of qualifying one, Josh suffered a large crash, which luckily he walked away from but the bike didn鈥檛 fare as well with it taking substantial damage.

鈥淭he team managed to get it turned around just in time for the race but the setup wasn鈥檛 quite right and Josh pulled in. For race two, the bike was working much better and was lapping as fast as he did during qualifying, only narrowly missing out on a point behind Andrew Irwin in 16^th place.

鈥淔or race 3, Josh was running in 13^th position in front of Rory Skinner but unfortunately there was a technical issue that stemmed from the qualifying crash which forced Josh to retire from the race.

鈥淥nwards to Knockhill and with the team in high spirits after a positive Oulton Park round, we had a steady free practice one as most of the competition had tested there a couple of weeks before.

鈥淚n free practice two, Josh suffered a crash which again damaged the bike quite badly, but much worse than that it had damaged Josh鈥檚 right hand to the point he needed an operation to install wires.

鈥淭his meant we had to miss both Brands Hatch and Thruxton rounds of the championship.”

鈥淥nce bedded-in, the lever feel and braking power was incredible; it filled me with confidence knowing that I would be able to slow down enough for corners when on a spirited ride.

鈥淚 had a track day booked at Donington Park 鈥� known for being heavy on the brakes. I had full trust in the EBC products recently fitted. Whilst doing the sighting laps, I was making sure the brakes were fully bedded-in and ready to go.

鈥淭he morning sessions went really well with great performance from the discs and pads. Lever feel, modulation and braking power was the best I have had on any bike so far. As the day went on and learning the track meant I was entering corners faster and braking later, the pads seemed to still be performing well.

鈥淎s an avid track day attendee and after speaking to the EBC tech team, I will be trying out the EPFA range on my next outing to take the performance to the next level.鈥� 聽

The 21-year-old was denied a result after he was T-boned by another rider and forced into a big crash during Sunday鈥檚 race at Silverstone.

But he is refusing to dwell on what proved to be another tough weekend through no fault of his own and is instead focusing on finishing the final three rounds in style.

Verwey, who lives just a few miles away from the iconic track, had been among the front-runners during free practice, ending the second session second overall and had been the first rider to dip under the existing lap record.

However, things took a turn when a small mechanical problem hit in qualifying and he was unable to bank a fast enough lap to qualify at the front and had to make do with 15^th on the grid for Sunday鈥檚 race.

At the green light he got a good start, launching himself several places up the order and was feeling strong and confident until he was suddenly wiped out by another rider who had cut across the grass and re-joined, sending him flying into the gravel.

Thankfully unhurt, he was disappointed to not even complete one lap due to someone else鈥檚 mistake but is now looking ahead to the remainder of the season.

Kade Verwey:
鈥淚n many ways it was a similar weekend to what we鈥檝e had all year. I had really great pace in free practice and was second in FP2 but we unfortunately had a bit of a mechanical problem in qualifying and I had struggled to get a lap in.

鈥淚 qualified 15^th which wasn鈥檛 too bad and I still felt I could win from that position because the nature of the track at Silverstone means it鈥檚 quite hard to break away, so you tend to get a good group chasing the win 鈥� I thought if I could get up with that group at the start I鈥檇 be okay.

鈥淏ut you can鈥檛 really plan a race. I had a good start, the first corner was great then I went around the outside of a few people into the next one and then up the inside into Becketts. I settled into the corner then out of nowhere someone cut over the grass and T-boned me and took me out the race.

鈥淭his year I seem to just keep getting taken out which is very unfortunate and unlucky but you can鈥檛 sit and dwell, you have to move on. I know I鈥檝e got the pace 鈥� I鈥檝e shown it all year 鈥� but now I need to get some luck on my side and get some results for the final few rounds.鈥�

Kade will be back in action in just under a fortnight when the series returns to Oulton Park in Cheshire.
