Danny Kent sets 2025 BSB expectations: “We want to fight for the championship”
McAMS Racing Yamaha’s Danny Kent is targeting the ಌ2025 BSB title after his strong finish to 2024.

Having won Race 1 at the final round of the 2024 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:British Superbike Championship at Brands Hatch, Danny Kent comes into this seas൲on with increased expectations and an adjusted m🎀indset for 2025.
The 31-year-old has been the only Yamaha rider in BSB to have a smooth winter, given the late🐼 disruptions to the off-seasons of Kyle Ryde and Bradley Ray who were directly affected by the issues foಞr OMG Racing, but the goals for the 2025 season were already raised last October.
“Before going into last year and I didn’t count myself as an every wꦐeek front r🤡unner, whereas [in the 2024 season] I proved that [I am],” Kent told mahbx.com between the penultimate and final sessions at the Donington test.
“We finished fourth in the championship last year, and it’s only natur🍬al that we want to improve. So, we want more wins and we want to fight for the championship.”
The #52 had two bikes to try in Doningt🧔on, which he said had “completely different” chassis settings and geometry.
“We’re running two bikeཧs here to try to get through our test plan a bit quicker,” Kent said.
“The geometry and the chassis settings on the two bikes are completely different, so we’re just trying to find the direction that we want🃏 to go in for 2025.
“I feel like we know what direction we want to go [in], and now we’re just spending time trying to understand the new tyre that we’ve got for 2025 as ♔well.
“The fee🉐ling with the team is really good, the feeling with the bike is getting better, so I’m feeling confident.”
✃Kent ended the test fourth-fastest overall on the combined times, 0.512🌞 seconds adrift of Glenn Irwin’s lap record set in the third and final session of day two.
The McAMS Racing Yamaha ride🧸r said that he was strong in the flowing parts of the Donington layout, but was losing out in the final sector.
“I wouldn’t say I need to improve anything on the bike, it’s more myself,⛦” he said.
“Sectors [one-to-four] I’m just as fast 🙈🐼if not faster, but then I lose half-a-second in sector five which is a 22-second sector, which is really bad.
“But in that last session [the second session of day two] I managed to improve it. It’s so🍌mething that I need to change in my riding style.”
He added: “One of the easiest sectors see🌱ms to be the one I’m lo🦩sing the most [in], but looking at the data I know where I need to improve.”
