Three-time MCE British Superbike Champion Ryuichi Kiyonari has completed his first test with the Buildbase BMW team ahead of the main outing at Donington Park on Tuesday. Team boss Steven Hicken was reportedly very pleased with the Japanese star's performance and lap times.

“I was happy to be back out on track and the feeling I had with the BMW was good. We did have some dry time on the bike and had three sessions, but I want to go to Donington Park to do some more laps now! The bike feels good already, the power delivery is different, but I was happy and it was exciting to test the BMW. I want to go to Donington Park now, everyone we race will be there too, but I know we have now worked together on track so we can improve ready for Brands Hatch," said Kiyo.
