Bradley Ray set a blistering pace in the final British Superbike Qualifying session of the season and claimed pole.
For the final round of the 2025 British Superbike Championship, Bradley Ray has claimed pole ahead of the opening race of the weekend at Brands Hatch.
Throughout the 2025 season, Ray has made it a habit to qualify on pole for the opening race, as he has done so at eight of the eleven race weekends throughout 2025.
In the final Qualifying session of the year, it was important for Ray to gain any sort of advantage over his British Superbike Championship rival, Kyle Ryde.
The Raceways Yamaha rider snatched pole position with his final flying lap of the session and was only 0.155 seconds away from the fastest ever lap around the Grand Prix circuit at Brands Hatch.
"Feeling good, it is nice to get pole, and it is important to be on the front row for this race," Ray told TNT Sports after Qualifying.
"I think the pace is there, our pace is quite good on used tyres, twenty laps around here in cooler conditions might be quite tricky on tyre life. But I did a lot of work yesterday in Free Practice to make sure we know the pace to run for the race.
"I think there will be a lot of fighting going on, but this is the best place to start for this race."
Joining Ray on the front row will be his title rival, Kyle Ryde on the Nitrous Competitions Racing Yamaha, and the AJN Steelstock Kawasaki rider, Christian Iddon.
