McAMS Racing and Danny Kent completed a 'strong testing plan' at the Navarra British Superbike Test.
Danny Kent was the second-fastest rider at the first official British Superbike test of the 2025 season.
He trailed Glenn Irwin on Sunday and Monday at the Navarra circuit in Spain. Kent's best lap time of 1:44.790 was 0.263 seconds slower than the Hager PBM Ducati rider's best time of 1:44.527.
The McAMS Racing Team tested new front wings and various swing arm, pivot system and brake pad set-ups at the Navarra test.
Kent had two Yamaha R1s to use at the test, and Roger Marshall also debuted as his rider coach.
"I’m really pleased with how we progressed throughout the first official test of the year," Kent said.
"Navarra is a great track, and it was nice to get back to work with the team after what felt like a long winter break.
"The team and I completed a strong testing plan and left no stone unturned in what we wanted to experiment with. We leave Spain feeling satisfied with the steps made.
"I’m excited to get back to work at Donington Park in just over one week, where we’ll aim to continue along the same trajectory."
Tim Martin, the Team Owner, said: "It felt great to be back on track after a long winter break. Danny and the team enjoyed a few positive days, and we’re happy with our improvement as we come away from Spain.
"The R1 looked great on track, and Danny felt very comfortable back on two wheels after months out of the saddle.
"The team worked great with the addition of a couple of new members; we tested everything we needed to and feel happy with the work completed.
"All-in-all, we’re really pleased with the test and were even lucky enough to get some lovely weather. We’ll carry this momentum into the next test at Donington Park. Can’t wait to get back!"
